This article attempts to systematize knowledge about the determinants (causes, conditions) of violations the law committed by state traffic inspectors. The purpose of this work is to obtain new scientific knowledge about the determinants of violations of the law committed by employees of the traffic police and to prepare a theoretical basis for further research aimed at improving activities to counter violations of the law by these employees of the internal affairs bodies. In the first part of the work, the authors substantiate the relevance of the topic under consideration. In particular, it is pointed out that ensuring the rule of law in the internal affairs bodies is central to strengthening the rule of law in society and the state, in view of the empowerment of them. It is noted that strengthening the rule of law and official discipline in the internal affairs bodies is impossible without identifying the reasons and conditions for their violation. In the following, the essence of the concepts of «causes» and «conditions» is considered. The points of view of criminologists and other legal scholars on the issue under consideration are examined. A classification of conditions conducive to violations of the law is proposed. Which is further considered in detail. In particular, it is proposed to classify on the following grounds: depending on the nature of their occurrence: into internal and external; depending on the manifestation of the will of the person who violated the law: into objective and subjective; depending on the sphere of public life, to which a certain condition applies: economic, social, political, ideological, legal and organizational can also be distinguished. The authors distinguish the following groups of determinants: social, ideological, legal, economic, political and organizational conditions conducive to violations of the law by employees of the State Traffic Inspectorate. The authors draw conclusions about the need for a comprehensive, versatile approach to eliminating violations of the law in the activities of traffic police officers, taking into account the nature and features of the determinants.
