Socio-Economic Component of the State Policy in the Field of Prevention of Criminal Offences Against Labour Rights and Freedoms of a Person and a Citizen

“…That is, the state itself "encourages" the distortion of moral values and legal consciousness of the individual, and the violation of the law. According to David Lounsbury, the likelihood that a person will be tempted by material gain after comparing the risks and potential income from committing a crime increases against the backdrop of a deteriorating economy and an increased sense of need during the crisis (Oglikh, 2018). A similar view is held by Jeff Grogger, who argues that crime rises when the incomes of young, low-skilled workers fall, because the crisis hits the least well-off and unskilled strata of society first.…”
