Tourism is the largest service industry in the world. The direct and reverse relationship between crime and tourism significantly affects the economy, society and individuals. Studying this impact is necessary for the state policy making and the organization of law enforcement agencies. The aim of this study was to determine the specifics of the criminal situation in the hospitality and tourism in the EU. The research involved system approach, descriptive analysis, systematic sampling, doctrinal approach, statistical analysis and forecasting as research methods. The results of specialized studies were summarized, and the lack of a comprehensive background for effective law enforcement was revealed. The main trends of the European tourism industry were identified. General European trends regarding the impact of crime on the tourism industry were revealed: a positive correlation of the security index with terrorist attacks; the relationship between the statistical significance of migration processes and the peculiarities of human trafficking in particular EU countries. The theoretical and practical problems of imperfect statistics on tourism-related crimes were confirmed. An approach to the preventive policy principles in the tourism industry was presented. The impact of crime on the hospitality and tourism is a multidimensional problem that requires the development of special preventive policies. The prospects for improving crime prevention in the tourism sector are related to the improvement of the practice of registering crimes and attracting additional opportunities for the public and subjects of the tourism industry. Prospects for further research include identifying the relationship between crime and various types of tourism.

Environmental crime is dangerous in terms of the scale of the implications and the impact area. The resonance and specifics of environmental crimes require a special approach to the prevention and investigation of these crimes. The aim of the article was to systematize measures to prevent (counteract to) environmental crimes. The aim involved the following methods: statistical analysis, correlation analysis, generalization and analogy, hypothetico-deductive model and system-structural approach. Fundamental measures to prevent (counteract to) environmental crimes are defined. The countries with the largest and smallest number of environmental crimes were identified, including China, India, Vietnam, Belgium, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Poland, and Germany. The relationship between the number of environmental crimes for 2015 to 2019 and the environmental tax relative to GDP for the period, as well as the number of environmental crimes for 2015 to 2019 and environmental protection expenditures was determined. Measures aimed at the prevention (counteraction) of environmental crimes are systematized, which consist of three interrelated levels: national, international cooperation and cooperation with the public, public organizations. The prospect of further research is to determine the organizational aspects of criminal law counteraction to cross-border environmental crime.
