Abstract
The involvement of legal entities in the commission of criminal offences is a global phenomenon that has an inestimable impact on individuals and society as a whole, and essentially it is a relatively new phenomenon in the Republic of Latvia, as only in 2005 the Criminal Law of the Republic of Latvia was supplemented with a chapter that provides for the application of forced influence to legal entities. Undoubtedly, the economic activity carried out by legal entities is aimed at the maximum possible profit-making; however, often the persons responsible for legal entities put profit maximisation in a higher position and renounce ethics and moral values, violate the law and even commit criminal offences in the interests of legal entities, due to improper supervision or as a result of control. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to study the factors influencing the involvement of legal entities in criminal offences in the Republic of Latvia to find out what measures could be taken to prevent the involvement of legal entities in committing criminal offences. Keywords: coercive measures; involvement factors; legal entities.
