Anti-corruption: youth perspective on the problem

When writing this article, our goal was to analyze current issues of anti-corruption, to identify the youth view of this problem. The measures of counteraction that are applied at the level of the entire country, and separately those that operate on the territory of the Vladimir region, were considered. In the course of our work, we conducted a sociological study among students of one of the higher educational institutions of the Vladimir region. The survey was conducted in March and April 2020, a total of 348 people were interviewed. As a result, we have come to a number of theoretical and practical conclusions. First, social and economic measures are at the forefront of anti-corruption efforts. Secondly, among the special criminological measures, legal measures should be singled out. Third, it is necessary to actively involve representatives of civil society, including the younger generation, to participate in various anti-corruption programs and events. Fourth, the system of punishments provided for in the Criminal code of the Russian Federation is not perfect, and requires a detailed analysis of its effectiveness and making appropriate changes to improve the effectiveness of criminal punishment, including for crimes of corruption. Fifth, the media and the Internet should publish more information about corruption and its negative consequences for society, as well as publish examples from judicial practice indicating the punishment imposed on the guilty persons. The results of this article can be used in the future when studying anti-corruption issues, when working with students, when forming a negative attitude to manifestations of corruption in the population. The work is generally intended for a wide range of readers interested in the problems of criminal law and criminology.
