COMPARATIVE DIMENSIONS OF THE CRIMINAL PHENOMENON IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA AND ROMANIA

Abstract

Crime is one of the main elements of the object of criminology as a science, without the
study of which it is impossible to clarify other criminological issues concerning the causes
and conditions of crime and the organisation of the process of combating it.
We propose an analysis of the comparative quantitative-qualitative indices of crime in the
Republic of Moldova and Romania to highlight its dimensions and particularities in the
context of the current conditions of development of society, which would allow us to give
new assessments to this phenomenon, to determine the guidelines and strategy of fighting
this negative phenomenon.
