Author(s)
Abstract
The article offers a criminological analysis of the regional state of homicides for hire in the Russian Federation. The main period for analysis is the period from 2003 to 2019. The authors calculated the dynamics of absolute and relative indicators (growth rates, specific weight, intensity and criminal activity coefficient) of crimes of the studied type in Federal districts. Their comparative analysis is carried out. As a result, it is established that in the Russian Federation, murder for hire does not have a pronounced regional specificity in the modern period. In the last decade, both absolute and relative indicators, located in the dynamic series at the lowest level, have been leveled. The current regional state of homicides for hire is a single crime with a dynamic to further decrease. Regional differences are leveled as a result of a low level in the registration of absolute indicators. Even taking into account the high level of latency of the crimes under consideration, the complexity of their detection and proof, murder for hire in Russia is a non-proliferation crime with an extremely low level of intensity.
