INTELLECTUAL METHODS FOR DETERMINING THE FACTORS OF THE CRIMINAL LANDSCAPE OF RUSSIAN REGIONS

Abstract

In the context of significant transformations taking place in society, it is especially important to prevent a slide into chaos, and to ensure a stable and secure socio-economic environment. One of the main problems is the heterogeneity of management objects, in this case, the structure of crime in the regions of the Russian Federation. To determine the similarity of the structure of the regional economy, the author compares the structure of indicators of criminal statistics per registered crime. The author presents the "criminal profile" of each region as a set of numbers (a vector) that represents the relative contribution of each indicator of criminal statistics, thus leveling the factor of the size of the regions. Thus, the overall level of crime by region is not compared, only the share of indicators of criminal statistics is analyzed, which can be called the "criminal profile" of the region. Reasonable conclusions are made about the presence of objective prerequisites for the allocation of groups of regions. Possible ways of practical application of this classification are considered.
