Abstract

The article presents the results of a study of the impact of COVID-19 coronavirus infection pandemic and its strains on the criminal and victimological situation in the Russian Federation. The criminological analysis of the predicted development of crime and its main directions is provided. The socio-psychological and gender-age characteristics of persons with a high risk of victimization are given. It is noted that social tension, social dysadaptation of the population caused by a high risk of infection, economic recession, introduction of strict restrictive measures and self-isolation, increase the victimization of the population. The results of the study based on the analysis of the causes, dynamics and direction of crime showed: the criminological forecast of the development of crime in general was confirmed, but not for all types of crime: there was a decrease in violent and street crime; crimes committed by labor migrants and foreign citizens. There is an increase in: organized crime; economic and corruption crimes; extremism and terrorism; the greatest increase in crimes committed with the use of information and telecommunication technologies and in the field of computer information. Comparative analysis shows the similarity of crime trends in Russia and foreign countries caused by the COVID-19 coronavirus infection pandemic and its strains. It is necessary to conduct deeper criminological and victimological study in order to develop more effective crime prevention and victimological prevention measures, as well as an international exchange of good practices in this area during a general pandemic.
