Journal section JURISPRUDENCE
The ineffectiveness of combating corruption crime in modern Russia
The article presents a detailed analysis of corruption as a socially negative phenomenon
that has acquired significant proportions and currently poses a threat to the national
security of Russia. It is proved that the statistical indicators of the revealed and solved
crimes of officials do not fully reflect the actual number of committed socially dangerous
acts of a corruption nature. In addition the authors critically evaluate the methods used
by the anti-crime policy and believe that moral education of representatives of Russian
society and the cult of the law-abiding person can be the real means of combating crime
among officials.
Keywords: corruption; malfeasance; the determinants of corrupt behavior; measures to counter corruption crime; moral education
