Abstract

Counteracting corruption crime represents a significant objective of contemporary state policy in the Russian Federation. The steadily increasing detection rate of corruption offenses highlights the growing need for effective anti-corruption prevention. However, current theoretical and practical approaches to the prevention of corruption crime have not demonstrated sufficient effectiveness. This article emphasizes the importance of examining the properties of corruption crime and the mechanisms of its self-determination as targets for preventive measures. The established theoretical approaches to understanding crime have largely exhausted their explanatory potential, which necessitates the search for alternative theoretical and methodological foundations for the study of corruption crime. Theories of security, national security, and criminological security, which are actively developing in modern science, offer new perspectives for exploring the phenomenon of corruption crime. The dialectical nature of the key categories in these theories – threat and security – creates a multidimensional framework for analyzing corruption crime in both dynamic and static aspects. For the emerging theory of anti- corruption criminological security, corruption crime is considered a major source of criminal danger, and the main directions of research in this area are discussed in the article
