Abstract
Victimogical ideas were born several thousand years ago. Self-defence of a potential victim at the dawn of humanity was the main method of crime. Then, as other mechanisms for social evil appeared and developed, self-defence became one of the problems of the victim himself. The state and society, trying to protect the individual, developed other measures that did not require the participation of the victim in their logical analysis, which addressed to such phenomena as crime, criminal.
 The preventive role of law consists in regulating spheres of social life, during which existing criminogenic factors are either eliminated or their action is seriously hindered. The law cannot destroy the economic, social, and cultural causes and conditions of crime, but it can influence their negative manifestations: localize, block, and organize appropriate counteraction to negative phenomena and processes.
 Accelerating the processes of European integration requires the introduction into law enforcement practice not only of modern forms and methods of combating crime, but also standards of protection of human rights and freedoms recognized by the world community. Real democratic transformations are inseparable from the humanization of social relations because a person, his life and health, honour and dignity, inviolability and security are recognized as the highest social value.
 Currently, in several European countries, including Great Britain, the Netherlands, and France, the situational form of prevention is part of the official crime prevention policy. Despite this, there are concerns that “the use of this approach to crime prevention will have wider societal consequences of limiting freedom and unequal access to the positive outcomes of crime prevention.”
 Analysis of modern global trends in crime prevention shows that in the vast majority of states it is carried out with the help of “official” systems of fighting crime, i.e., law enforcement agencies and criminal justice.
