Postmodern Criminology About Crime and Punishment
The article offers a modern view of criminology (postmodern criminology) on crime, the grounds for the criminalization of certain acts, criminogenic factors and punishment, as a supposed means of reducing crime. Crimes and criminality are considered as social constructs, a product of the will of the authorities, the regime. Criminogenic factors turn out to be circumstances (economic, political, cultural, personal) that generally affect people's b…
Criminology and the criminal justice system in the Russian Federation after socio-political transformation

Particular attention is paid to the modern stage, which began with the collapse of the USSR and the formation of the Russian Federation. Some of the most important findings of various studies are described. The article talks about the negative trends of recent times (since the mid-2000s).

Soviet and post-Soviet Russian criminology – an insider’s reflections
This article provides a reflection on various stages in the development of criminology in Soviet and post-Soviet Russia. I begin with an outline of the key phases of the development of the field as a discipline followed by four critical areas of the developmental processes that include research and academia, as well as emerging areas that are critical for further growth of the field. More specifically, I touch upon the important topics that Russi…
Torture by the Russian police
Torture by police in Russia is the subject only of anecdote and rumors; no research exists on the topic. In the absence of such reliable research or official government reports, torture, or the use of excessive force as it is known in the Western world, has been poorly understood and its extent largely unknown. This paper reports on surveys conducted by the non‐governmental organization ‘Committee Against Torture’ (Nizhny Novgorod, Russian Federa…
Contemporary Russian Corruption
The author presents a brief history of Russian corruption, which started in the 9th–10th centuries and still exists, seen as a common way to solve various problems, as confirmed in various surveys. The data show that tolerance to corruption is still growing. The author points out some of the factors that might influence the current level of corruption and claims that it is still the main problem in Russia. Further, he presents possible ways of de…
Any port in a storm
This article draws on the experience of conducting fieldwork in Russia, as part of an international comparative examination of health and safety regulatory enforcement in the shipping industry. We discuss the difficulties faced by fieldworkers in ensuring personal safety and maintaining rapport with research respondents in conditions characterized by danger and crisis; a situation made worse by the murder of one of our key gatekeepers. We develop…
Unicorn among the Cedars
This article considers the prospects for effective regulation of emerging globalized industries by examining the effectiveness of the ‘smart regulation’ approach associated with the port state control enforcement regime for seafarers’ health and safety. Smart regulation seeks to generate incentive structures that promote proactive compliance by ship operators. Drawing on an international comparative study, which included extensive observation of …
Police and the Community in Russia
The relationship between police and the public is an old and complicated problem. In Russia, the last centuries show that these relations were not idyllic. The increase of crimes after the Second World War, fear of crime, and moral panic activated a search for effective methods of social control over crime. But a partnership between police and the community remains improbable in contemporary Russia. This paper presents the result of the fourth st…
Deviant Behaviour in St Petersburg
Deviant behaviour is one of the most precise barometers of the social, economic, political and moral climate in a society. In this article the author analyses different forms of deviant behaviour in St Petersburg including violent crime, property crime, suicide and drug and alcohol addiction. Two stages in the dynamics of social deviation are identified during the transition period from 'socialist totalitarianism' to democracy. The first stage - …
