Prolonged Experience in Combating Economic and Organized Crime in Ukraine (1999-2022)

In the research papers on victimology the academicians usually define victimization as the whole complex of all cases when an individual (a social community) suffers moral or bodily injury and damage in a crime. Under the cited above meaning “victimization” as the gene-realization of the whole vicinity realized is the most appropriate term that corresponds to the term “crime”. In a certain extent victimization is simultaneously the measure of human destructibility realized in crimes. At that business victimization levels exceed the levels of crimes related to them one and a half time. At the same time the level of residential victimization totally tops the number of crimes committed against businessmen in 2 and 2,5 times. Thus the breach is the more, the better is the public’s activity in combating crime and the less is its reliance in private security. Thus businessmen’s anxiety about property security and extra emergency measures undertaken by them equalize the levels of victimization and crime. On the other hand, equalization of the victimization and crime levels is caused by the process of objective coalescence of business units and criminal groups and the pronounced tendencies to restricting influence of organized crime upon businessmen.
