The variety of negative social phenomena that exist in modern society, from a criminological point of view, creates a favorable background for the emergence of criminal behavior. Criminal and criminogenic phenomena can significantly increase the quantitative indicators of crime, acting as factors that determine many types of crime. When implementing measures to combat crime, it is crucial to address the negative social phenomena that are not inherently criminal, but often serve as causes or consequences of crime. Background criminal phenomena such as drunkenness, alcoholism, drug addiction, prostitution, unemployment, and others increase criminal risks, ultimately posing a threat to national security. The purpose of this study is to reveal the relationship between such criminal and criminogenic phenomena as alcoholism and drug addiction and crime as a negative social phenomenon, as well as to show the importance and necessity of addressing the issue of alcoholism and drug addiction in society in order to ensure the country's national security. The objective of this work is to demonstrate that the background phenomena of crime under consideration are extremely dangerous for modern society and have a latent criminogenic impact. The research methodology is based on general and specific scientific methods of social cognition, such as induction, deduction, synthesis, modeling, and legal analysis. Research result, conclusions: the article presents an analysis of the relationship between factors contributing to the development of such background phenomena of crime as drunkenness, alcoholism, drug addiction, and drugization, and the spread of criminal behavior in society in this regard. On the other hand, the article analyzes the criminogenic significance of such negative social phenomena related to crime as drunkenness, alcoholism, drug addiction, and drugization.
