The article’s objective is the analysis of quantitative and qualitative indicators of the state of crime counteraction in Kharkiv region and forecast of the
main tendencies of their changes in the context of the transformation of the
socio-economic situation in the region. Detection of regional characteristics of
crime includes studying similarities and differences between quantitative and
qualitative indicators of crime (state, structure, factors, geography, etc.) in the
regions. The research of these indicators reveals the opportunities to study existing not only general and specific patterns of crime, but also their functioning
on typological and classification levels. It is concluded that fundamentally new
position of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, aimed at transparency
and provision of its activities of socially oriented nature and the measures taken for the construction and development of the National Police, particularly its
preventive component contribute the formation of positive dynamics in fighting
against crime. Besides, significant results and positive effects are expected in the
result of the provisions laid down in the approved by Kharkiv regional council
on the initiative of Kharkiv regional state administration programme solutions
relating to territorial defense, preventing corruption, ensuring public safety
and order in the region. There is no doubt that this tendency of improving criminological situation is also due to fulfillment of regional preventive programmes
and activization of work with prosecutor’s office to strengthen the recording
and registration of criminal offenses within all law enforcement agencies.
However, the downward tendency in the number of reported criminal offenses,
observed as through the whole country, as in Kharkiv region in particular, has
both objective and subjective reasons. The decrease of law enforcement agencies’ activities in detecting crimes is obvious, because the action of the main
factors that contribute to their commission was not reduced, and in the period
of the development of financial, economic and socio-political crisis even became
worse. These conclusions are supported by diverse dynamics of changes in the
number of appeals to law enforcement agencies, the number of reported criminal offenses and data relating to initiated and completed criminal proceedings
(especially considering the balance of previous years).
