Abstract
Aim. To study the grounds for the latency of crime in the field of sports and influence on the crime rate. Methodology. In the course of the study the methods of induction, content-analysis, comparative method, analysis, and synthesis were used, as well as deductive methods which enabled to formulate certain general conclusions.
Results. The research has shown that the real conditions of crime in the field of sports are not revealed in the court data. The reasons for this are the specifics of the crime statistics and the specifics of the sport field. The lack of the relevant legal assessment and inability to make the principle of unavoidability of punishment come to life leads to the diminishing of the preventive effect of the criminal law and negatively affects the recreational and educational functions of sport.
Research implications. Theoretical and empirical relevance of the research reveals itself in a creation of a theoretical basis that can be used to improve the system of combating sport crimes.
Supporting agencies: The study was conducted with the financial support of the Russian Fund of Fundamental Investigations (RFFI) within the project no. 20-011-00414 А «Criminal Law and Criminological Problems of Combating Crime in the Field of Sports».
