The paper discusses the influence of organized crime on the criminalization of modern Russian society — the so-called self-determination of crime. To effectively counteract the self-determination of crime, a comprehensive study of all its forms and mechanisms is necessary, special emphasis should be placed on organized crime due to its heightened social danger. The proposed approach allows a deeper and more precise study of self-determination of organized crime and related phenomena. Recently, there has been a transformation of domestic organized crime into economic crime, which explains the deep criminalization of the Russian economy. The paper also discusses another form of self-determination of crime that is closely related to organized crime — corruption. The Russian experience in combating organized crime highlights the need to develop an integrated strategy in this area. The results of the study can be applied in the educational process in the study of the Criminology Course in higher educational institutions.
