ECONOMIC CRIME IN THE FIELD OF REAL ESTATE

Abstract

The scientific article is devoted to a comprehensive study of criminal law issues of economic crime in the field of real estate. The research paper examines a range of theoretical and practical issues of economic crime prevention and substantiates a number of provisions and conclusions that are new in conceptual terms and are important for legal science and law enforcement practice. The article proves that each state has a system of measures that protect each individual and society as a whole from offenders and restore justice. Insufficient research into the problems of economic crime and the validity of measures to prevent it has an extremely negative impact on the economic sphere of the state. The urgency of the problem is also growing due to the long-overdue need to improve the legal acts regulating the prevention of economic crime. A study of the state and trends of economic crimes has shown a sharp increase in their number under martial law, especially serious crimes. The article establishes that a significant part of economic crime is latent crime, the main reasons for which are the reluctance of the victims (mostly due to circumstances beyond their control) and, in most cases, the inability to report a crime committed against them, mainly in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. The authors studies and characterises two main levels of prevention of economic crime: general social and special criminological.
