Security and Criminal Policy

Andrejs Vilks

Abstract


The current period of the public evolution can be identified as one of the global (economic, financial, political, social, legal and moral) periods of crisis. In worsened crisis conditions the level of crimes remains at such a level when it is hard to control them by means of law enforcement authority – capacity of institution resources and workload exceeds its limits.  Great role in combating of crimes is attributed to prevention. To a certain extent, the goals of state criminal law policy are not only to punish, but to restore the possible truth as well, to prevent the society, to resocialize and prevent the people from committing of crimes. The investments into people’s educational policy is incomparably more important than capturing of the offenders, their punishment and execution of the sentence. When working out crime prevention measures in criminal law police, one should use also foreign experience and the latest technologies. We perceive criminal law policy as the state activity in provision of legal order in individual’s protection from crimes, violation of the rights, and implementation of the law enforcement.
