CAUSES AND CONDITIONS FOR COMMITTING ILLEGAL ACTS IN MODERN SOCIETY: THEORETICAL AND LEGAL ASPECTS AND SOME SOLUTIONS

As a result of everyday social activities, people constantly come into relationships with each other. This type of relationship may not be regulated at all (exist on the basis of morals, traditions, etc.), or it may not exist without a certain legal regulation, which is supported by the power of the state. Violation of these regulations constitutes an offense. Offenses have negative consequences for various spheres of public life, they cause damage to both society and the state. In modern conditions, there is a tendency to increase the number of offenses in society. This situation stimulates the study of the causes and conditions of committing offenses, both of certain types of offenses, and of all illegal acts in general. The work considers the main causes and conditions of offenses, and also provides a clear distinction of such terms as “cause”, “condition” and “reason”. The main role in the fight against offenses, including the activities to identify and eliminate the causes and conditions of committing illegal acts, belongs to law enforcement agencies. But in the current circumstances, this is not enough, so it is necessary to pay attention to other mechanisms and ways to eliminate the causes and conditions of violations and effectively use them.
