A study of the process of victimization of population in a specific region is highly relevant as it allows to determine not only the factors and conditions that turn a person into a crime victim, but also the factors and conditions that form potential victims of criminal infringements which, in its turn, contributes to the detection of latent crimes and the prediction of the crime level in the region as a whole. The paper examines the issues of victimization of Transbaikal Region’s population, analyzes a complex of economic, political, and legal factors of population’s victimization. The study shows that the satisfaction of material needs of people is harmed by the processes that create barriers for industrial development, growth of labor productivity, introduction of new technologies and growth of competitiveness of businesses in Transbaikal Region. In the social sphere, these barriers and obstacles facilitate the processes of marginalization (growing unemployment level), criminalization, socio-cultural degradation. The mechanism influencing economic and social processes is active redistribution of resources between the processes that satisfy needs and the processes that form barriers and obstacles for the satisfaction of these needs. The redistribution of resources and their loss determine not only low effectiveness, but also its unstable dynamics and high volatility. The authors use their own methodology of evaluating the level of socio-economic development of the region based on the effectiveness indices for socio-economic processes to determine the level of satisfying basic needs of population in Transbaikal Region in 2004–2017. The study shows that over a long period of time the level of satisfying basic socio-economic needs of population has steadily remained low which, undoubtedly, is an important factor of its victimization. The authors also analyze the factor of internal and external migration. Internal migration is caused by uneven economic development of Russian regions, interethnic tensions and a growth in crime rates in a number of Russian regions. The results of this research could be used for teaching such courses as «Criminal Law», «Criminology» for the specialty «Jurisprudence» in higher educational establishments; they could also be used as methodological recommendations for developing crime prevention programs.

Russia today is a dynamically developing state that, despite external pressure, continues to strengthen its positions in the world arena, timely preventing external and internal threats to economic security. Social stability is a fundamental prerequisite for the dynamic development of the state. In this regard, the state's task is to prevent destructive processes in social and economic development, using a set of measures and management procedures. The state of the social sphere, trends and forecasts of its formation have always been in the focus of the interests of the leadership of our country, government organizations and the scientific community. This is because the social sphere is of primary importance for the development of society in particular and the state as a whole. In recent years, large-scale changes have begun to take place in the Russian Federation, including the development of new public legislation, the implementation of targeted projects, the formation of a new concept of public protection of the population, and many actions have been taken to provide a decent level of well-being and increase the quality of life of the Russian people. Despite the fact that the Russian government has made great efforts to reduce the scale of unemployment and poverty, improving the quality of life, the social problem remains quite acute. The main factor was the sudden change in the international situation in the last few years, the introduction of financial and restrictive sanctions, the implementation of hostile political activities by certain foreign states against Russia, and as a result, the complication of the social and financial situation within our state. However, successful social and financial development remains the highest value for the Russian state in the near future. The purpose of this activity is to identify the relevance and complexity of problems of economic security and assess indicators that determine threats to security in the public sphere. Observation and diagnosis of the degree of threats to the national interests of the state on the basis of indicators of socio-economic development indicators in the public domain is a priority task in the existing realities of our life. Modeling the threats to economic security, ie, obtaining specific values of economic security indicators depending on their belonging to a particular risk class (level), it is possible to develop an appropriate plan of measures to improve economic security in the social sphere on the basis of the proposed classification. Monitoring and diagnosing the level of threats to the national interests of the country on the basis of indicators of social and economic development in the social sphere is a paramount task in the existing realities of our life. At the same time, the results obtained serve as a good basis for developing development strategies for the future with the preservation of social stability. The aim of the study is to formulate methodological provisions for the development of the theory of economic security based on the definition of threats to the economic security of the social sphere, using the proposed model of the relationship between the key factors that affect the level of security in this area. The research uses a set of general scientific approaches (abstract-logical, deductive, complex and systemic). The realization of the research process was carried out with the help of the dialectical method of cognition, which predetermines the study of economic phenomena in their interconnection and development. To solve individual problems, economic-statistical methods, comparison methods, absolute, relative and average values, graphical and tabular data representation, correlation-regression analysis, Ward clustering were used.

The choice and implementation of the appropriate strategy for the socio-economic development of the region are fundamental for meeting the social needs of citizens. At present, when determining the vector of economic development, municipalities take into account the trends in the development of society and the social problems arising in it, as well as their economic consequences. However, the radical transformation of the social sphere, which is so important for modern society, namely its social security, does not cease to segment society into opposite strata of different status. This topic is especially relevant for modern conditions, when the state guardianship is increasing in matters of conducting a modern and active social policy. The main task in this direction is the creation of such conditions for the population of the region, which could contribute to the comprehensive development of the social sphere. The analysis of indicators of the social sphere of the Tambov region is carried out, as well as problems and tasks for their solution are identified.

The relevance of an independent assessment of the quality of the conditions for the delivery of services (IAQ) as a tool for assessing the state of the social sphere is determined by the ability to use it to identify the expectations of a modern consumer, his needs, to detail shortcomings in the delivery of services and develop measures to eliminate them. Independent assessment acts as a form of public control, contributing to the development of civil society, allowing to eliminate problems and improve the system of providing services in the social sphere. The aim of the study is to consider the potential of using IAQ in solving problems of public administration. The research methods used in the work serve as a significant empirical base based on the results of monitoring studies of the implementation of IAQ in the regions of the Russian Federation based on surveys of government representatives and citizens who receive services, as well as on the basis of information provided on the official website for posting information about state (municipal) institutions bus.gov.ru, and have a formal and logical component in terms of conducting a comparative analysis of regulatory sources, using analytical methods of functional and statistical analysis. The choice of research tools was determined by the presence in the current database of the functioning of the IAQ from the moment of its creation in 2013 to the present. The analysis of the results of an independent quality assessment made it possible to identify key shortcomings in the social sphere, the structure of problems that are most often found in the regions and their relationship with the main directions of socio-economic development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. According to the results of the study, the hypothesis was confirmed that the incorporation of an independent assessment into the system of executive authorities, which allows to quickly obtain objective data on the state of the social sphere, makes it possible to put its results into practice aiming to analyze the achievement of national goals and ensuring the socio-economic development of Russia. The use of the results of the IAQ to increase the validity and efficiency of management decisions to improve the activities of public organizations for officials of state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and representatives of public organizations responsible for their development, allows for a comprehensive impact on improving the quality of life of the population.
