Abstract

The conceptual approaches formed within the framework of neo-institutional theory are analyzed, which make it possible to understand the motivation of persons prone to committing economic crimes. The role of various factors that determined both the delinquent behavior of subjects and the response to it from the side of the state and society in conditions of total war is clarified. The emphasis is on the views of the representatives of this theory, their applicability for the interpretation of the destructive processes that took place in the economic sphere in 1941–1945. Such problems as the volume and implementation of the powers of law enforcement structures, the nature of punishment, the impact of rational consumption on the methods of production and distribution of material goods are considered.
