Problems of Identifying the Causes of Professional Crime
( Pp. 161-169)

The article examines the causes of professional crime at the present stage, its trends and patterns of development, examines the roots and origins of the formation of criminal behavior. In general, professional crime is distinguished by a number of features related to the causes of professional crime, the personality of a professional criminal, as well as the specifics of preventing professional criminal activity. The purpose of the presented study is to consider the issues that arise in this area regarding the identification of the causes of professional crime, as well as its recurrence, where the fight against it is an important task of society and the state. The significance of this struggle is determined by the particularly negative influence of recidivists and professional criminals on the reproduction of primary crime and, thereby, on the aggravation of the criminal situation in the country. On the basis of the study, the authors come to the conclusion that an essential condition for the causes of professional crime is the fact that state and public organizations are weakly working to involve people released from places of deprivation of liberty in a morally healthy environment, to isolate them from the influence of antisocial elements. After serving their sentences, convicts are met, as a rule, with a negative attitude from society. Without purposeful work with people who have served their sentences, it is impossible to protect them from harmful contact with professional criminals who have remained at large.
