Abstract

A comparative analysis of crime in Russia and Bulgaria in recent years was carried out in order to understand the impact on criminological processes of the changed conditions of all spheres of our life in the situation of the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. The study uses the method of comparative analysis of statistical information from official sources of the Russian Federation and Bulgaria for 2019-2021. As a result of the conducted research, a significant change in the structure of crime in two countries was revealed: in general, a decrease in some indicators and an increase in others. There has been a significant decrease in the first months of a number of "street" types of crimes and an increase, first of all, in the indicators of cybercrime; the growth of a number of crimes has become significant: fraud using IT technologies, domestic violence and theft. The theoretical and practical significance of the study is to identify the impact of the social environment changed as a result of the occurrence of extraordinary circumstances on crime. As well there is the need to study the limit of the use of law enforcement agencies to ensure public order, the conditions for achieving balance and maintaining the trust of citizens in curbing the growth of crime is justified. Analysis of crime statistics and changes in the socio-economic sphere of Russia and Bulgaria for 2019-2021 allows us to formulate predictive trends in crime changes in the near future.
