The paper examines the concept and goals of the state policy of countering crime, which is considered as a special direction of state activity associated with the development and implementation of strategies and tactics (general line) of organized resistance to crime and other offenses. Conditioned by the objective need to protect society from criminal encroachments, this policy is formed and implemented as a response of the state and society to the very fact of the existence of crime, its dangerous prevalence and continuous growth, and is designed to serve as a solution to the social conflict associated with the existence of crime. All this determines the goals of counteraction crime policy, its ideology, the main parameters, structure, main directions (types) and implementation practice. As a relatively independent and complexly organized type of social policy, it is implemented through a hierarchically structured system of subordinate types of policies at different levels, each of which has its own goals, objectives and content, and together they all serve to implement the general goal of reducing crime as much as possible, deterring it and keeping it at a socially acceptable level. The diversity and multi-level nature of the goals in the field of crime prevention, which make the process of their implementation long, complex and ambiguous, require a certain systematization of them. In this regard, the author formulated a number of important (in fact, key) requirements for the formation and implementation of goals, as well as the construction of their system in the field of combating crime, which could become important factors for achieving the planned results. At the same time, the author critically assesses the identification of the policy in the field of combating crime as a combination of all the efforts of the state and society aimed at countering crime with criminal policy as the activity of the state related to the criminalization and penalization of acts, the development and implementation of strategies and tactics, forms and methods of influencing crime with the help of criminal legal instruments.
