On new approaches in the field of combating organized crime in the Republic of Kazakhstan

The article discusses the theoretical and practical aspects of the formation of a new criminal policy in the field of combating organized crime in the Republic of Kazakhstan. According to the author, in order to ensure objectivity and fairness in the appointment of criminal penalties, the criminal policy pursued by the state in combating organized crime is of great importance. Since organized crime has an increased public danger to the state and society and represents one of the sources of threat to national security, when implementing criminal liability for crimes committed by organized groups, the following principle should be ensured: the higher the degree of public danger of the crime committed, the harsher the criminal punishment should be. The author analyzes the modern understanding of organized crime, its trends and directions of development. Special attention is paid to such a direction as organized crime in the economic sphere. Based on the analysis of legislation, the works of well-known legal scholars, and law enforcement practice, the author attempts to formulate and substantiate a set of theoretical conclusions and recommendations for improving the fight against organized crime and the implementation of this process within the framework of the state’s criminal policy. The author proposes a number of innovations in the organization of the fight against organized crime in Kazakhstan, namely the creation of an independent body in the country – the Agency for Combating Organized Crime of the Republic of Kazakhstan, directly subordinate to the head of state, and its approximate structure is proposed.
