Systematic Transformation Processes of Crime in the Financial and Economic Spheres and the Prevention of Criminal Leadership

Abstract

Our paper analyzes the system, criminal law and criminological properties of crime in the financial and economic sphere; the thesis of heuristic validity of the application of an interdisciplinary approach to the study of crime in this field was put forward and proved; the epistemological expediency of applying systemic and synergetic approaches to the study of the socio-transformational processes of crime in the financial and economic sphere is argued. It is proved that crime as a problem of shortcomings in the interaction of the system of the state of Ukraine with its environment is manifested in the improper functioning of its elements, when the prevention of criminal attacks and the observance of the rights of the country's population in the private sphere and in relations with the state are not ensured. Today, Ukraine occupies a leading position in Europe in the number and volume of crimes committed in this area. An integrated scientific approach to the study and resolution of the questions posed helps to overcome this negative "leadership." This judgment fully reflects the essence of the socio-transformational processes inherent in crime in the financial and economic sphere.
