Migration Crime: Evolution in a Pandemic
Abstract
The relevance of the study is due to the objective need to adjust the migration policy under the influence of atypical conditions of the pandemic crisis, as a necessary condition for stabilizing the migration situation and the associated criminological situation.
The aim of the study is to determine the trends in the development of migration crime in the Russian Federation under the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic and promising directions for improving migration policy in this regard.
Objectives: to assess the state of migration crime during the pandemic crisis; to identify the factors influencing the development of this type of crime in atypical conditions of "closed" borders; formulate proposals for improving the protective legislation in this area.
Methodology. In the process of working on the study, general scientific methods (dialectical, historical), as well as private law methods (statistical, comparative legal, forecasting) were used.
The results of the study are distinguished by their applied nature, aimed at increasing the efficiency of migration policy, as a deterrent factor in migration crimes.
Conclusions. The pandemic crisis and the resulting closure of domestic and interstate borders have not led to a reduction in migration crime. On the contrary, in some spheres and regions there is an increase in the main indicators of this type of crime. The current migration situation and the associated criminological situation require energetic, but at the same time rational, scientifically grounded measures to control migration processes and the metered use of criminal repression against persons who disregard Russian laws in this area. Such measures can and should be deportation from the Russian Federation and a link with a ban on living in a certain area. Refusal from these instruments of migration control with the adoption of the 1996 Criminal Code. criminologically and politically unsubstantiated.
