In the current conditions of mass substitution of reality by simulacra created on the basis of criminal motivation in the interests of criminals, criminological intelligence acts as an adequate response to the challenges of the contemporary situation in its different dimensions — global, regional, national. Criminological intelligence, as a relatively independent type of investigation activities, is defined by the authors as legal collection, analysis, evaluation and interpretation of information on the criminalization of public relations, on the threats and risks of criminal and criminogenic nature, on the actual condition of criminality, criminals, their status and opportunities to resist law and order with the purpose of ensuring national, public, group and personal security. The legality of criminological intelligence means that it is not based on confidential sources and is thus different from such a type of operational search activities as analytical intelligence. Besides, the legality excludes the use of illegal means and techniques of obtaining information. The tasks of criminological intelligence include obtaining reliable information on the actual criminological situation, criminological and socio-legal prognostication, determining the level (regime) of threats to criminological security, criminological zoning (by territories and objects). The actual criminal picture that requires an urgent response cannot be compiled without characterizing the cumulative number of unsolved crimes (it is seven times more than the number of crimes registered annually). An important task of criminological intelligence is determining the key directions of crime counteraction. They include counteraction to economic and electoral crimes, where a rather short-sighted criminal policy is currently used, although these types of crime threaten national security. The object of criminological intelligence is the criminalization of public relations, while its subject is now solely represented by financial intelligence (Rosfinmonitoring), which is obviously not sufficient. Criminological intelligence should be handled by professionals gathered in a national research center. The training of such professionals should be mainly based on criminology, including criminological intelligence, and this discipline should gain a higher educational-methodological status.

Science cannot and should not claim to establish general laws, its bounds are limited to situational analysis and comprehension of meanings in the interests of certain groups of actors. As for ideology, it becomes an expression of group interests.

Introduction. The article highlights the problem of criminological risks in professional sports, which by its nature is characterized by significant criminogenic potential. Purpose. The purpose of the study is to show the criminogenicity of professional sports and the appropriateness of applying a risk-based approach to its analysis. Methodology. The research methodology is based on identifying criminological risks in relation to professional sport and its subjects in terms of ensuring their safety. Results. Professional sport has a pronounced criminological content due to the fact that it: a) activity with the goal of making a profit; b) illegal competitions are held; c) there is crime among athletes; d) this area is attractive for corruption, money laundering and, in general, for organized crime; e) in this area, mass deviations from fans are often observed; f) this is the sphere of international politics and here there are elements of a hybrid war, the target of which is Russia, and the high-level professional athletes are the victims. Criminological risks in the field of professional sports are differentiated into three groups: criminal, criminogenic and victimological. Criminal risks are related to the commission of crimes in this area. Criminogenic risks are associated with the criminalization of professional sports. Victimological risks are currently concentrated in the field of international professional sports and are most pronounced in doping scandals, the main victim of which was designated Russia. Conclusion. Public relations in the field of professional sports require analysis from the perspective of a risk-based approach, which should be supplemented by an assessment of criminological risks: criminal, criminogenic and victimological. It is important to take into account the political dimension of such risks – both in the field of domestic and international politics.

The monograph is devoted to comparative criminological and comparative legal analysis of the criminal community as a specific form of organized crime. It is proved that the criminal community cannot be reduced to a criminal organization, and even more so to an organized criminal group. It is shown that criminal communities in various states have common, meeting modern challenges, and specific features due to national-ethnic mentality and peculiarities of state-legal development. Various concepts of the fight against organized crime are considered, criminal and legal measures to counter the activities of terrorist, extremist and ordinary criminal communities are proposed. For specialists in the field of criminal law sciences, teachers, postgraduates, students and undergraduates of law schools, law enforcement officers.
