Abstract

The problem of the increased public danger of professional crime is investigated. The nature of the public danger of professional crime is expressed in the criminal activity carried out as a profession and generates socio-negative effects. For professional criminal activity inherent is the commission of several homogeneous or identical intentional crimes with a mercenary purpose. The degree of public danger of professional crime is higher in comparison with other types of crime. Professional criminal activity, due to the preparedness of its subjects, creates a high probability of occurrence of social-negative consequences, and more severe than from ordinary crime. Professional crime is a peculiar core of all crime. The criminal activity of professional criminals has a relatively long time and is characterized by high intensity, latency and a tendency to species expansion. For professional criminality, a special relapse is typical. Specialization on identical and homogeneous crimes inevitably leads to an increase in criminal «skiдl». Professional crime is closely linked to organized crime. From organized crime, professional crime is characterized by a lack of corruption ties and the nature of a criminal organization. However, these differences today are conditional. The nature of crimes committed by professional criminals is such that they are more convenient and reliable for a group of individuals. They have a clear hierarchy, distribution of roles. Involve individuals with special non-criminal skills and abilities. There is a close connection between the crime and the face of the professional offender. An offense-professional condones a crime not only under the influence of objective conditions, but the very anti-social orientation of his outlook and moral principles creates objective prerequisites for committing crimes. Professional crime criminalizes modern society (there is a criminalization of industrial relations, social management, adaptation of certain social communities, information and psychological sphere, leisure, culture, creative activity). Professional crime acts as its own root cause. It recreates itself, creating and strengthening criminal ideology, mythology and psychology through the conscious, purposeful activity of representatives of the criminal world.
