Abstract

As a result of the antiterrorist operation in our state, there arose the necessity of analysis of influence of processes related to the forced displacement of citizens of Ukraine and increasing crimes in our State. One of the topical problems in modern criminology is the analysis of the relationship between the growth of number of crimes and the phenomenon of internal displacement or, on the contrary, evidence of lack of such communication. At least, it is important to establish the causes of crime internally displaced persons. The problems of studying crimes, committed by internally displaced persons are only beginning to feel the scientists. In particular, the first development of such perspectives available to scholars are such, as V. S. Batergareieva. The aim of the article is the actual definition, according to the author, perspectives on the recent trends of development of science of criminology in Ukraine, in particular, in the study of crimes, committed by internally displaced persons. According to the Unified report on criminal offences of the Prosecutor General’s office of Ukraine for January-December 2015 posted: 8 224 murders, 73, acts of torture, 273 756 burglaries, 22, 108 robberies, 7 409 of the acts related to illegal handling of weapons, fighting supplies or explosives. In comparison with the statistics for January- December 2013 and 2014, we have an increasing number of thefts, torture, illegal behaviors with the weapon, fighting supplies or explosives. One of the reasons for the rising number of such crimes may be the phenomenon of internal displacement in Ukraine due to anti-terrorist operations and the occupation of the Crimea. The reasons for the increase in the number of crimes may have such a background phenomenon as: lack of work for internally displaced persons; the lack of adequate housing and living conditions; the stress of adaptation to new realities and the loss of established way of life; the lack of financial support from the state; the lack of quality in social services; increased tension, conflicts between the local population and internally displaced persons. In addition, account should be taken of such factors that lead to such situations as: growing psychological tension, social disorganization, discomfort of living conditions, diverse regional cultures and subcultures, opposing political views and the like. According to the office of the UN high Commissioner for refugees and the State migration service of Ukraine, most internally displaced persons settled in the areas close to their homes, in particular, on the territories of Donetsk and Lugansk regions under the control of the Ukraine. The numerous complaints about the crudity of a policy of Ukrainian officials at the expense of creation of conditions of adaptation of internally displaced persons in new locations. As a result, internally displaced persons do not feel confidence in the future, they cover a disappointment due to the lack of assistance from the state. There are many internally displaced persons, which, again, made the decision to return to occupied territory. However, to determine their exact number is difficult, because many internally displaced persons were not registered, their migration has circular or latent character. Conclusions of the research. 1) as of August 14, 2015 at peaceful part of the territory of Ukraine has moved about 1 438 000 persons – internally displaced persons; 2) the economic, political, social and military situation in the state is ever more complex. Internally displaced persons are very difficult to adapt to the conditions that arose in their lives. Due to the lack of substantial assistance to such persons by the state, the majority of such persons are left alone with their problems. At the same time, official statistics show the growth of homicides doubled, the increase in the number of beatings, the increase in the number of robberies, illegal firearms trafficking on the territory of Ukraine, in which terrorism flourishes. Besides actively committed crimes against principles of national safety. All this indicates the need for studies of the interdependence between the increase in the number of crimes committed on the peaceful territory of Ukraine and the phenomenon of internal displacement.
