To the discussion on social-social measures of prevention of intentional destruction or damage to property by arson
In the article, based on the analysis of scientific views and law enforcement practice, a set of general social measures to prevent intentional destruction or damage to property by arson (part 2 of Article 167 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) is proposed. According to the authors' opinion, the system of the above measures, as an element of social management, is a fundamental base of the mental education of citizens in the spirit of compliance with the current legislation, the most important condition for effective preventive activity of the internal affairs bodies. A system of general social measures to prevent the deliberate destruction or damage to another's property by arson is presented and disclosed in the form of three interrelated blocks: socio-economic, moral and psychological, and organizational and managerial. The group of elements included in this system is supplemented by no less promising areas of work of the internal affairs bodies. They include the organization of cooperation with the media, as well as with public organizations and individuals who assist in the protection of public order and the prevention of violations.
