Abstract

The purpose of this scientific article is to conduct a thorough criminological analysis of crime among convicts in places of non-freedom over the past ten years, the condition of which indicates the degree of efficiency of the state policy in the sphere of execution of criminal sanctions and probation, the distribution of forces and means of preventing such crime, the ability of the subjects of prevention of such crime to ensure the safety and protection of the rights and freedoms of prisoners and staff against crime in prison. Urgency in matters of prevention is revealed through the economic aspect of the maintenance of places of confinement. First, the level of crimes against the economic and property rights of citizens is increasing. Second, overcoming the consequences of such crimes is associated with an increase in the cost of maintaining places of confinement in Ukraine.Also, the purpose of the article is the disclosure of the role of state policy in the sphere of execution of criminal penalties and probation for the distribution of forces and means of preventing this form of crime and determining the ability of the subjects of prevention of crime among convicts in places of non-freedom to ensure the safety and protection of the rights and freedoms of prisoners and staff against crime in prison. The methodology of the article consists in using modern methods of scientific knowledge, namely: a dialectical method, which examines the conceptual foundations of crime prevention among prisoners in places of non-freedom in their dynamics and relationship with other social and legal phenomena. Certain special methods of scientific knowledge were applied in the article on this methodological basis, in particular, the comparative legal method was applied to identify the characteristics of doctrinal understanding of the specific places of non-freedom and imprisonment, as well as possibilities of introduction of foreign experience in domestic law; the method of system analysis gave the opportunity to carry out criminological analysis of crime in places of non-freedom in Ukraine over the past decade (2010-2019.); the sociological method was used to find out the position and opinion of both scientists and practitioners of places of non-freedom regarding the current situation and problematic issues of crime prevention among convicts; the method of criminological forecasting allowed to outline the main task facing the administration of penal institutions – preventing convicts from committing new crimes. Scientific novelty: - the degree of reliability of scientific justification and scientific forecasting of crime among prisoners in places of non-freedom of the Ministry of justice of Ukraine and its prevention has been comprehensively studied, it differs from previous domestic developments in this area; - criminological significant factors, which are inherent in the conditions of life of penal institutions of the Ministry of justice of Ukraine were highlighted, among them: complete isolation of convicts, which causes crowding of people; increased frequency of communication among convicts, their psychological load, which is caused with a significant number of stressful and conflict situations; the presence of a constant change of serving sentences by convicts, which has result in their migration, etc.; - thanks to the epistemological basis of systemic and synergetic approaches, dialectical, structurallogical and functional methods, it became possible to identify the main problems of criminality among prisoners in places of non-freedom and form the author's vision of ways to solve them. Conclusions: 1) the obtained information in the process of a thorough criminological analysis of crime among prisoners in places of non-freedom over the past ten years gives grounds to speak about systemic problems in the organization of crime prevention in places of non-freedom in Ukraine;
