Causes and Conditions of Committing Crimes in Social and Budgetary Spheres

Abstract

Offenses that infringe on property, as well as offenses in general are the consequence of the complex circumstances of the social, economic, psychological plan. The most significant factors contributing to the activation of offenses in the area of property ownership relations include the lack of effective control by the state for the use and disposal of state and municipal property, as well as the lack of skills of economic behavior in the conditions of market relations and the increased highlighted by the overwhelming majority of citizens; victimization of the population in this area; distribution of facilities on illegal ways to resolve contradictions by those who failed to adapt to these conditions.

Criminological studies indicate the need to prioritize such phenomena and processes in the economic life of society as the state and development of production, the provision of the needs and interests of the population, not only of a consumer nature, but also those relating to employment, the receipt of people with a stable income, which provides decent living, the size and ways of providing income of various subjects.

The lack of criminoligical ground in provision of economical reform implementation has created conditions that ensures
the possibility of rapid enrichment of criminal groups and individuals at the expense of the state, on one hand, and weaken the ability of law enforcement agencies to combat the negative effects of
reforms – on the other.

Political instability seriously weakens the role of the state as a guarantor and arbiter of civilized economic relations. As a result of the removal of the state from the public-law regulation of implementation economic relations in the context of the formation market maintenance of law and order in many spheres of economic activity was not ensured by the authority and power of the state.

A serious crime-causing factor of economic crime in the budgetary sphere is the corruption of state apparatus and the leading management in non-state sector of the economy.

As it is noted in criminological literature, the defense of a market economy from power is the most important goal of political component of social economy. Social injustice and social troubles are due to restrictions of market competition as a result of "merging business with the authorities. «The conspiracy of the economic and political elites sometimes serves as the underlying cause of all social misfortunes».

The existing legislative problems made the process of conducting tenders and auctions in the field of privatization and the currently creating opportunities for large-scale abuses in the event of bankruptcy of enterprises as well as in the implementation of tax payments to the budget through insolvent banks virtually uncontrolled. During the investigation of criminal proceedings, investigators and employees of the Department of Economic Security found that the thefts of budget funds were carried out by organized criminal groups, which included the heads of «troubled» banks and directors of enterprises that had tax arrears, through a specially created network of companies («one-day»).

Today, the decisive factor in the criminalization of the entire course of reforms was the immorality of politicians and businessmen who came to power. Motivating action becomes dominant, eroding the spiritual and moral foundations of society. In these conditions, a sharp social stratification of society, a decline in the quality of life of big chapter of population demoralizes them, creates tension both within the family and in society, which in turn stimulates the development of criminal violence in social and domestic spheres.

It should be borne in mind that the social status of person who have not been able to adapt to the reforms in the country has changed dramatically, which leads to the widespread adoption of criminal-force methods for solving social contradictions.
