CRIMINOLOGICAL CONTROL IN FIGHTING CRIMES
Fighting crimes is a complicated management activity. In order to ensure the results (effectiveness) of this activity it is necessary to have criminological control over it, i.e. to have constant supervision with the purpose of checking and evaluating this activity as well as the condition of criminological situation as a whole. Criminological control is viewed as a sub-system (or a component) of the crime prevention system, as a multifold management element. The functions, forms, goals and tasks of criminological control as well as the mechanism of specific control types and evaluation criteria are viewed depending on the situation's characteristics. The paper advocates the necessity of training specialists in criminological control and of their participation in the development and implementation of the regional criminal policy.
