Economic crime as a factor in reducing the level of social governability[Экономическая Преступность Как Фактор Снижения Уровня Управляемости Обществом]

The article deals with the destructive nature and consequences of the impact of economic crimes, primarily corruption, on the management of modern social development. The problem is analyzed by comparing the national and regional levels. The regional level is represented by the Republic of Bashkortostan as one of the leading subjects of the Russian Federation. Due to the analysis it became possible to figure out that the amount of harm caused by economic crime management, social development is tremendous, and the growth rate of this damage is considerably above the level of the rising dynamics of these crimes both in the country and in the region. Law enforcement does not solve the problem of the destructive consequences of economic crime. Despite the relatively high clearance rate in the economic sphere in general (more than 70 %) and corruption crimes in particular (more than 90 %), due to their high latency, difficulties in detecting, investigating and subsequent prosecution, it is not possible to achieve a significant reduction in their level. The article notes the aggressive role of the administrative staff in the expansion of economic crime, especially corruption. In this regard, the article solves the problem of analyzing the situation, dynamics and features of economic crime, the factors that determine it, and the consequences of its influence on management activities. The analysis of the material was carried out using an interdisciplinary methodology (social and legal sciences) based on statistical material from 2012 to 2019. The results reflected in the text will complement the theoretical and empirical basics of the sociology of management, the sociology of law, the sociology of deviant behavior, criminology, and will also be of interest to experts in this subject area and practitioners from law enforcement agencies. Highlightening the effects of economic and corruption crimes on the management of the company has allowed us to raise the issue of development at the interdisciplinary level the content of the concepts of “socially tolerable level” of this type of crime and “socially approved level” of their minimization, and the establishment of criteria to measure these levels, including social ones. This will enable us to rethink the existing measures and propose new ones aimed at significant reduction of the pressure of economic crime on the manageability of society at different levels of its organization.
