Тrends of criminal law and criminology at the present stage of co-operation of corruption

Abstract

The article considers the problem of a uniform approach to understanding corruption and corruption crimes. Based on the analysis of the national anti-corruption legislation, the author proposes his own formulation of the concepts «corruption» and «corruption crime». The proposal was made to supplement the Criminal Code with an article entitled «Conspiracy», which provides for responsibility for secret agreements on joint actions, both against the existing system in the state, and for humanity as a whole. This is due to the dependence of many heads of state on political and economic circumstances. Receiving assistance, for example, in the form of a currency loan, national governments are forced to make concessions, fulfill a number of conditions imposed by international organizations. These concessions often contradict the interests of the population of the country, whose leadership is interested in receiving financial assistance. Carrying out the requirements of international financial organizations, national governments contribute to the achievement of globalization goals pursued by a certain group of people claiming world domination. In such a situation, the development of political corruption is possible with a high degree of probability, when corruption relations are established with the leaders of national states. In order to expand the sphere of competence and professional interest of criminology, in the author's opinion, it is necessary to choose a different approach to understanding the object of his research. As such an object should be not crime, as the number of crimes committed, but criminal activity, which should be considered in a broad sense, as a functional and life-supporting direction of a particular part of society.
