Problems of General Measures for the Prevention of Professional Crime

The article examines the issues of general measures to prevent professional crime, where, unlike special and organizational measures, general prevention measures at the level of general crime prevention determine the tasks of preventive activities and ways to solve them in general. Since the main form of preventive activity in the professional crime prevention system is prevention, which is complex. This involves the use of not only legal, but also economic, organizational, managerial, cultural, educational and other means and methods in order to prevent illegal behavior. The purpose of the presented study is to consider the issues that arise in this area regarding individual prevention in relation to professional criminals, i.e. correction and re-education of these persons or a change in the criminogenic tendencies in the development of their personality. This implies the need to solve the problem of establishing the patterns of deviant behavior, the mechanism of its formation and change. To do this, it is necessary to strengthen control over persons previously convicted, whose behavior and views indicate the possibility of committing new crimes. Based on the study, the authors come to the conclusion that the general prevention of professional crime includes the prevention of these crimes, carried out by bodies, organizations and institutions that have the rights and responsibilities to do so.
