FROM THE CONCEPT OF “EVIL” TO THE CONCEPT OF “DEFICIENCY” IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF CRIME AND ITS COUNTERACTION
It is necessary to replace the concept of explaining crime as an inevitable evil, which is dominant in the theory of crime counteraction, with the concept of “deficiency.” This will make it easier to identify the causes of crime, and make it possible to have a more effective, targeted impact on them. The proceeds of crime in the form of fines and confiscations received by the state budget should be used to compensate the victims for the harm caused by the crime.
