Abstract

The problems of the destructive influence of citizens and the social environment on criminality are highlighted. An attempt has been made to explore the experience of Western European countries in involving volunteer assistants, community councils, operational groups, pedagogical associations, scientific institutions that are actively conducting criminological research, and participating in the prevention of crimes. Formulation of the problem. Participation of all citizens in the impact on crime is a fundamental condition, as without a population-backed population not yet one state has been able to construct an effective system for combating crime and to find sufficient resources for its effective functioning. Some aspects of the participation of citizens and the social environment in the devastating impact on crime were studied by such scholars as J. Gilinsky, V. Golin, I. Danshin, O. Dzhuzha, A. Zakalyuk, A. Zelinsky, O. Ignatov, S. Inhacov, R. Clark, M. Kolodyazhny, V. Kvashis, V. Luneev, A. Shostko, E. Shur, V. Fox. But, unfortunately, the issues under investigation, in particular, legislation on the regulation of citizen participation in the prevention of crime need to be refined and improved. That is why the subject of our research is relevant. The purpose of this article is to analyze the stateʼs involvement of citizens and the social environment in influencing crime and reliance on the people in the implementation of the strategy for preventing crime; improvement of the regulatory framework in the field of citizensʼ participation in crime prevention, public safety and public order protection, road safety and other social environment in cooperation with law enforcement officials, in particular the National Police.
