Measures to prevent violence against government officials

Violence that is used against persons who are engaged in full-fledged state-management activities in public authorities, and in local governments that perform various state and public functions, should be seen not only as violence or the threat of its use against a person who is engaged in political activities, a member of society, but primarily as an attack on state authority. The main purpose of this study is to conduct criminal-legal and criminological analysis of violence against a person engaged in political activity, representative government, citizen companies, as well as the development of programmes and proposals on improving prevention activities. Also, the purpose of this work is to develop a system of preventive measures aimed at preventing, eliminating, or minimizing the consequences of committing crimes against government officials. The main role in this direction is assigned to economic, political, social and organizational measures, but we have proposed a new set of preventive measures that could be used in their practical activities by law enforcement officers. To improve the effectiveness of measures to prevent offences in this area, proposals for improving the criminal legislation, and a proposed adjusted revision of article 318 of the criminal code providing for the imposition of liability for the use of violence against individuals engaged in political activity.
