Вклад профессора В. С. Устинова в формирование и развитие российской политической криминологии: к 80-летию учителя

The paper describes the contribution of the famous Russian criminologist, Professor Valery Samuilovich Ustinov to the formation and development of Russian political criminology as a branch of criminological knowledge. His scientific works of different years related to the study of organized political crime, the ideas and proposals expressed in them, which influenced the formation and further development of Russian political criminology, are analyzed.
 It is proved that the contribution of V. S. Ustinov to the development of domestic political criminology is associated not only with his studies of the phenomenon of political crime, but also with the scientific guidance of his students in such studies. The introduction of the political and criminological term “totalitarian crime” into scientific circulation led to the beginning of the formation of a new scientific direction of criminological totalitarianism in the post-Soviet space. He trained highly qualified specialists who are engaged in the development of domestic political criminology.

АCTUAL CRIMINOLOGICAL THEORIES AS A GUARANTEE OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN POLICING: STATE AND SPIRITUALLY-VALUED DIMENSION

The article considers the main directions of development of modern criminology, which are the key to the progressive development of society. Given that political crime in today's conditions is of exceptional importance due to the corruption component, attention is focused on the relevance of an in-depth study of political criminology. First of all, it is about the universalism and encyclopedic nature of criminology in the inseparable relationship of such aspects of its development as tax, economic, police, electronic (digital), anti-corruption, and criminology as a new way of the progressive development of criminological science. Emphasis is placed on the humanity of modern criminology and the prospects of new criminologies; the disinterest of politicians in the evolutionary development of criminology, when there is a reduction in the number of hours in its teaching, creates obstacles to the inclusion of science in educational standards or even efforts to exclude it from the educational process. The leitmotif of the article is the actualization of the educational goals of criminology in the context of the value component, which should become the cornerstone of modern jurisprudence and public policy. Criminology should be based on traditional spiritual and cultural values developed by mankind over millennia and based on the gene pool of the Ukrainian people, sanctity of his life. In this regard, it is important to consider the issues and processes of emergence and formation of new facets of criminology through its impact on the broad masses of existing classes of social relations, namely the formation of pious ancestral lines, thus clearing the genotype of atrocities and bad thoughts, forming the most promising concept – the criminogenic theory in criminology through the prism of spirituality, which is based on the genotype of the people, race, nation, which requires constant improvement and depletion of shortcomings and negatives acquired by previous ancestral lines and their own sinfulness.

Russian criminal political victimology: notion, object and prospects of development

Objective: to describe and explain the structure of the modern Russian criminological political victimology as a special inter-sectoral criminological theory. Methods: the research is based on the universal dialectic method of cognition of social reality. Results: basing on the normative legal acts, scientific literature and law enforcement practice, the author proposes a concept of the structure of the modern Russian criminological political victimology as a special sphere of the Russian political criminology. Scientific novelty: for the first time in the world victimology, the author proposes a new prospective scientific direction, studying the victims of political crimes and power abuses, comprising several special victimological theories in its structure. Practical value: the author’s provisions allow to elaborate the complex system of measures for victimological rehabilitation and victimological prevention of crimes in the political sphere of social life.

Constructing the New Political Criminology: Power, Authority, and the Post-Liberal State

The purpose of this paper is to make a case for a new political criminology—that is, to argue that a meaningful and coherent intellectual enterprise is developing across disciplinary lines. This new political criminology is distinctive in three ways: • It is criminology in that it is rooted in conceptions of, and concerns about, the ramifications of street crime. • It is political in that its focus is on the way crime control strategies both reflect and influence the distribution of power within the polity. • It is new in that it is influenced by postmodern understandings of, and disillusionment with, the liberal state.
