Миграционная преступность как фактор безопасности российского общества: современное состояние и пути минимизации

Abstract

The article considers the main trends in the sphere of migration crime on the territory of the Russian Federation. In the modern world, the migration agenda has acquired one of the most important values both in the practical activities of law enforcement agencies, state authorities, public organizations, and in the field of scientific analysis of the causes and consequences of migration. The topic of migration, primarily its external component, is of particular importance for the countries of the global north, including Russia, due to the homogeneity of international migration routes along the “South-North” route. Large migration flows, among other risks, carry security risks, especially if migrant donor countries are socio-culturally different from recipient countries. Unfortunately, this is largely the situation in modern Russia, which, together with the relatively lenient migration policy of recent years, has led to a number of high-profile illegal offenses involving migrants (for example, the riots in Kotelniki and at the Sadovod market). This, along with the general trend towards an increase in crimes involving foreigners discussed below, makes the topic of migration crime and the revision of migration policy in general relevant for modern Russia.
