Three Seas Economic Journal

Purpose. The purpose of the paper is to study the impact of criminal business activities on public order and stability of the country. Methodology.

This research is set out to carefully analyze the psyche of the criminals and to identify commonality in their behaviour irrespective of the demographic aspect. The research aims at analyzing criminal law theories and their practical usage in the modern scenario. Crime is defined as an act of deviance from socially accepted norms translated as criminal code. Countries all around the world have a definite set of criminal code compromising principles of morality and ethics as per their unique culture and society. But in practicality, these principles have failed to culminate the desired result of prevention of crime upon implementation by the traditional methods of enforcement. Deviance relates to the subjectivity of society. Considering morality as a subjective aspect would propagate deviance among individuals formed out of different circumstances than the majority. Hence, crime is often committed by the minority upon the majority in a society. The ultimate aim of the research is to identify the principle of causality in relation to crime and eventually portraying an effective approach for the prevention of crime.

The criminal in all its forms is not an occurrence which is connected to a particular country, territory, religion or civilisation; however the truth witnessed by events in every moment is that the occurrence of criminal activities does not have a nation, confession, religious beliefs or identity. They are initiated by the hands of the individual who plans it, especially emphasizing the ones who fi nance it and input 'rented' elements with the initial intention to destroy, damage and ruin the economy and kill and shed blood as well, followed by the intention to deceit people through focusing on specifi c religious beliefs sometimes, as well as human rights some other time. Thus, every problem can be observed through collecting a number of important elements which are presented below:-Manifestation of the topic of the problem, which involves the type of activity around which the problem is developing, in order to stop its progress and development and fi nally, to end the eff ...

Economic analysis of crime is concerned with (a) the effect of incentives on criminal behavior (b) evaluation of alternative strategies to reduce crime. This entry surveys some extensions to the basic theory as well as providing a brief overview of the empirical evidence. Some emphasis is given to recent work on juvenille crime and education.

This study is an effort to explore the determinants of violent crimes by using the panel data of 34 countries covering the time span from 2000 to 2014. The robust least square technique is applied for empirical analysis. The findings of the study reveal that the economic complexity, institutions and per capita income have significant negative impact while economic misery and population growth have significant positive relationship on violent crimes. Moreover, efficient institutions have prime importance to curb the crimes in a society. The better provision of knowledge and highly skilled labor force in an efficient institutional environment for alleviation of crimes is suggested as a policy tool. Additionally, serious efforts to decrease the economic misery and population growth are need of the hour to overcome the crimes.

The article is devoted to the impact of white-collar crime on the country's economy through the shadow economy. The share of the shadow sector in total gross domestic product is one of the indicators used to determine the circumstances that have a negative effect on the economic security of Ukraine. The level of shadow economy in Ukraine amounted to 40% of gross domestic product in 2015, 35%-in 2016, 32%-in 2017, 30%-in 2018. We have observed certain one-sidedness in the crime problems studies, as they usually do not consider destructive processes in the economic sphere itself. In fact, the relationship between economic crime and the economy is much more complex and characterized by reciprocal influences, when the sphere of legal economic activity is destroyed and replaced by criminal business, organized mostly by semi-criminal or fully criminalized government. In the latter, it refers not only to the destruction of the economic sphere, but also the loss of control of the entire system of public administration. The purpose of this article is to establish the conceptual basis for the study of reciprocal influences of economic processes in the country and the level of economic and conventional crime, making it possible to formulate science-based approach for overcoming the negative interconnection of the analyzed spheres of social life. Based on the findings of this study we came to the following conclusions: 1. The link between economics and economic crime is reverse and in fact affects the size of the shadow economy. 2. Money in the shadow economy forms a financial base for the prospects of organized crime, the growth of criminogenic potential in the country to the level of self-regulatory extended reproduction, the emergence of new ways of tax evasion, the spread of massive corruption and other socially dangerous processes. 3. The need for further study of specific types of economic crime and their destructive impact on the Ukrainian economy is highlighted.

Crime is as old as man and it exists in every society in respective of its level of development. The rate at which criminals operate unhindered in most societies especially in developing countries around the world is worrisome. Crime creates fear and untold suffering among people. Crime often stands as a barrier to socio-economic growth of society, discourages investment, increases the cost of transactions and ultimately fuel migration which eventually creates economic development disparities around the world. The aim of this study is to analyze the manifestation of crime the world over with a view to intimating government of all countries to have a firm control of all criminal activities in their respective countries for a better society. The approach methodology is based on a literature review of scientific journals and reports. Secondary data were sourced from both published and unpublished works as the study applies descriptive method. The main results showed various manifestati...

The paper provides an insight into the development of forms of drug crime and new types of crime, which include environmental or cybercrime. The study of crime, especially its criminogenic agents, is dealt with by a separate scientific discipline, which is criminology. Knowing the causes and conditions of crime, but also its quantitative and qualitative quantities, it is possible to design preventive measures that will be effective and bring the desired effect in the form of its reduction. A number of experts at home and abroad are engaged in investigating the causes and conditions of crime and other antisocial activities in order to design preventive measures to minimize the occurrence of this negative phenomenon.

Thinking in France on relations between crime rate trend and evolution of socioeconomic context over time is underdeveloped. Recent studies in the United Kingdom suggest that the business cycle influences fluctuations in both property offenses and violent crime. Whereas pre-1970 research in the United States only rarely pointed up a direct link between crime rate and unemployment, post-1970 American studies are dominated by demonstrations of a direct correlation between the two. In this article, analysis of trends in unemployment, prices and wages, marriage among men, and schooling leads to an interpretation of delinquency and crime over the long term in which it is affirmed that an increase in opportunity, such as that attested to by increased consumer prices and wages over time, has a more pronounced role in the strong growth period of the cycle and influences property offenses more than violent crime, and that unemployment among young people without educational degrees is a factor working in favor of both theft and violent crime. This phenomenon was partially masked in periods where it was common to remain in the school system, such as early in the last decade of the twentieth century in France. Lastly, the fact that starting in the early 1980s fewer young people settled in couples and, more generally, the tension in relations between the sexes may also have worked to favor delinquency.
