Taking into consideration the above-presented, it must be acknowledged that the important objec-tives of criminology at the current stage of development of Ukraine’s statehood consist in the implemen-tation into the activities of authorized government authorities and public organizations of a major guideline related to understanding of the fact that there exist two ways in which the crime rate can be decreased: by minimizing the causes of illicit behavior and by intensifying measures including the criminal repression. It is far easier to eradicate the cause than to combat its consequences. Criminality cannot be defeated or eradicated, it can only be decreased by a certain degree to reach a socially tolerable or, far better, a socially acceptable level. Therefore, it is essential to place major emphasis on criminological forecasting and individual prevention of offences with regard to individuals predisposed to crime.
