The relevance of the article is that the importance of studying the criminological characteristics of a criminal offense under Art. 305 of the Criminal code of Ukraine is caused by the fact that according to statistical data, in recent years in Ukraine there is a gradual aggravation of a narcotic situation. The aim of the article is to investigate the level and dynamics of the revealed facts of smuggling of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their analogues or precursors as separate components of criminological characteristics. It is emphasized that the crime rate will be the first indicator that we will analyze. In criminology, this criminological indicator is understood as the absolute number of registered crimes and persons who committed them, for a certain period of time in a certain area. This indicator characterizes the extent or magnitude of crime in absolute numbers. The lack of tendency was found to be one of the markers of the brightly postmodern administration of the power bloc, which, judging by the actual organizational and managerial approaches and its results, is based on the principles of nonlinearity, unpredictability, large-scale synthesis of synergy, existence and universal pragmatism. They also show elements of cyclicality, a periodic return to the already denied, eliminated components in the organization of law enforcement, but in completely different tones of political and opportunistic and purely discursive symbolism. The level and dynamics of the revealed facts of smuggling of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their analogues or precursors as separate components of the criminological characteristic are investigated. It has been found that over the last ten years there has been a constant fluctuation of their number in the range of 15-55%, either upwards or downwards, but such fluctuations are in the range of 210-330 facts, and there are no stable trends. The same is evidenced by the analysis of indicators regarding the number of declared suspicions (ranging from 110-220), identified persons (ranging from 80-140) and convicted (ranging from 80-120) under this article of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. And the level of the revealed facts of commission of the considered criminal act, per 1 million population, constantly fluctuates within 5-8 criminal offenses and also does not show steady tendency to essential increase or decrease of such indicator.
