Lavrent'eva M.S., Turkin M.M. Administrative offences detection and termination as one of the ways of crimes prevention

Abstract: According to the official statistical data, 1728643 cases were opened in 2014, and 76577620 administrative offences were terminated by the police. These figures demonstrate the difference between the number of detected crimes and administrative offences. Jurists admit that preventive actions should be one of the main directions of crimes prevention and should include not only detection, but also neutralization of reasons and conditions of this negative phenomenon. To achieve the research objectives the author applies general scientific and specific methods of analysis, synthesis, the structural-logical method, statistical and other methods of scientific cognition. The absence of the institution of attempt within the legislation on administrative offences determines the uncertainty of the moment of ending of a petty stealing, leads to an ambiguous interpretation of the provision in the judicial practice and the acts of interpretation of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. For the purpose of this problem eliminating and bringing the article 7.27 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation in compliance with the existing law enforcement practice, the author offers to impose administrative liability not only for the committed petty stealing, but also for the attempt at petty stealing thus preventing more dangerous crimes.
