The purpose and purpose of the NDR "Features of combating crime at the current stage of the development of Ukrainian statehood". The Constitution of Ukraine sets the state the task of ensuring public safety of society, proper law and order, guaranteed protection by legal means of the constitutional rights and interests of citizens, state organizations and institutions, public organizations, and all private structures. One of the factors that pose a serious threat to a developing state is crime as a relatively massive phenomenon consisting of a set of acts prescribed by criminal laws, committed in one or another territory over a certain period of time.
Challenges to martial law in Ukraine have given rise to a new wave of crime. Thus, the problem of countering crime began to occupy a special place in the formation of Ukrainian statehood in today's conditions, the creation of which is impossible without ensuring an active offensive counteraction to crime and achieving a slowdown in the rate of its growth on the basis of clearly defined priorities, a gradual increase in the efforts of the state and the public, improvement of legislation, organization of means and methods of crime prevention and detection.
Currently, there is a real need for the development of scientifically based recommendations for the adoption of new norms of the criminal material and procedural law regarding combating crime.
