The purpose of this study is to analyze the nature and causes of crime among the Ural police. Analysis of their offenses in 1914-1916 revealed the following structure of crime: 2/3 of the crimes of the class composition of the police amounted to exceeding their official powers and illegal actions in relation to the entrusted property, 2/3 of the crimes of the lower ranks concerned exclusively “excess of power”. All other criminal offenses were not widespread in the Ural police. When considering the data on the provinces, it is noteworthy that 2/3 of all crimes of the Ural police are in the Perm province, while the police of the Orenburg province were the least criminalized. The main reasons for the violations of the Ural police can be considered an insufficient cultural and educational level, excessive drinking, poor material support, a “peasant mentality” and a lack of understanding of the social responsibility imposed by the status of a policeman.
