Abstract
This article discusses the regularities of the relationship between crime and politics, the relationship and difference between the concepts of “the political criminality” and “the criminality of politics”, as well as the issues of the substantive meaning and significance of the term “the political criminality” from the point of view of criminology. Despite the fact that in terms of content and operational significance there is no talk of either the opposition or identification of these concepts, nevertheless, the following thesis has been emphasized within the framework of this work, according to which, although “the political criminality” is not criminalized in terms of criminal law, from the point of view of criminology (criminology) assessment of this act, it threatens not only the interests of the state and especially the public, but also the security and well-being of citizens.
The article proposes the following legal and political characterization of the essence and use of the term “the political criminality”, according to which it is necessary to perceive it, on the one hand, as a feature of state policy, the manifestation of which, conditioned by the state’s activities, can lead to negative, including criminal, consequences for the same state, society and its own people, and on the other hand, as a crime conditioned by interference in the activities of the state, the criminological policy of countering it should be aimed at the inevitability of responding to and initiating preventive and effective measures for that crime.
Keywords: criminality, politics, the political criminality, the criminality of politics, the country’s criminological policy.
