IMPACT OF PROFESSIONAL CRIME ON CRIMINAL POLICY: DISCUSSION ISSUES
Professional crime changes and expands its boundaries, but its essence associated with maximum profit remains the same. New criminal activities lead to the emergence of new criminals who commit crimes on a professional basis, and the qualitative difference is that they have sufficient intelligence and knowledge in various fields of science and technology, which allows them to use their knowledge in criminal activities. Modern criminal policy should prevent the development of new types of criminal activity, and the position that it is necessary to consider among the circumstances aggravating criminal liability the commission of crimes on a professional basis, as well as the proposal that persons who have committed crimes using high technologies or on a professional basis should not be subjected to other measures of a criminal law nature is justified.
