The article notes that the criminological situation in Russia as a whole has remained fairly stable in recent years. At the same time, it is possible to effectively counteract crime only if a more detailed analysis of qualitative and quantitative indicators of crime is carried out, taking into account the specifics of a particular subject (district, region). By the example of the North-Caucasus Federal District it is shown that not only in the District itself, compared with Russia as a whole, but also in its administrative-territorial units, crime rates differ significantly. The author draws attention to the fact that despite the low crime rate in the North- Caucasus Federal District, which has been maintained for several years, and the overall decrease in the number of registered crimes in January-November 2022 in almost all subjects of the District, nevertheless, the qualitative characteristics of crime in the North Caucasus Federal District are characterized by a number of negative trends. Thus, statistical data indicate a higher proportion of serious and especially serious crimes committed in the NCFD compared to the all-Russian indicator, the dominance in the number of crimes committed, crimes related to illegal arms trafficking, a wider spread of extremist and terrorist crimes, a high proportion of socially dangerous acts related to illegal trafficking narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their analogues. The socio-demographic characteristics of persons committing crimes are also touched upon, it is noted that in all subjects of the District these are usually persons who do not have a permanent source of income, as well as previously convicted. Extremely negative trends in crime rates in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania have been noted. Taking into account the revealed specifics of crime in the North-Caucasus Federal District, as well as taking into account the socio-economic, demographic and other features of the North-Caucasus Federal District, the author draws attention to those areas that should be taken under special control by the leadership of the District and law enforcement agencies, and also makes some recommendations that can contribute to reducing crime in this region.
