Criminological Analysis

This article offers a criminological analysis of murders for hire, from the moment of their regulation in the current Criminal Code of the Russian Federation until 2019. Since the procedure of statistical registration of these crimes changed several times during this period, comparable indicators were presented based on these changes. The base period is from 2003 to 2019. In the course of criminological analysis, the authors used official statistical data and calculated the dynamics of absolute and relative indicators (growth rates, specific weight, intensity coefficient) of crimes of the studied type. As a result, the authors came to the following conclusions. In the Russian Federation, murder for hire is not a common crime: its share in the structure of murders over the past decade has not exceeded 0.15 %, although murders account for no more than 0.5 % in the overall structure of crime. The analysis of the dynamics of this crime revealed not only a steady downward trend in its quantitative indicators, but also a faster rate of decline in comparison with the dynamics of murders in general (the absolute number of criminal cases of murder for hire decreased 6 times during the examined period, while the absolute murder rate decreased only 4 times, and the rate of decline for the basic indicator of murder for hire was higher by 8.7 %). The coefficient of intensity of murders of this type during the examined period also decreased 6.5 times. The rate of decline in the indicators of assassinations committed by organized criminal groups and criminal communities was 2 times higher than the rate shown by the entire set of murders of this type. At the same time, the share of murders for hire committed with the use of firearms, explosive devices, and explosives has not actually changed, despite a six-fold decrease in absolute indicators. However, the share of such crimes is not dominant in the structure of homicides for hire. In addition, murder for hire is a crime with a higher degree of latency than manslaughter. At the same time, a complicated system of registering murders for hire under various indicators makes it possible to disguise the real situation with this crime.

Criminological Analysis

Dedicated to a topical topic for the penitentiary system of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the PS of the Russian Federation) – increasing the level of security, which is considered in the framework of a criminological analysis of the reasons for escaping from places of detention by a particularly considered category of convicts who are granted the right to travel without an convoy or escort. The commission of such a crime as es-cape not only disorganizes the activities of institutions executing punishment in the form of imprisonment, but also endangers public safety. The actions of the penitentiary system to organize a special operation to search for and arrest escaped criminals requires large material and physical costs. All this speaks of the relevance of the study, which can help in organizing preventive measures to prevent escapes. The purpose of the study was achieved by analyzing the criminal and penal legislation of the Russian Federation, analyzing official statistics, questioning and interviewing the heads of correctional institutions of the PS of the Russian Federation, as well as the special contingent; analysis of some decisions in criminal cases related to Article 313 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation for the period 2010–2020. As a result of the study, the characteristic reasons (objective and subjective) of the escapes of the investigated group of convicts were revealed, features are identified, which will allow in the future to organize preventive measures aimed at preventing and preventing escapes among convicts, who were allowed by the administration of the institution to have the right to leave the correctional institutions in order to economic service.

To study the tuberculosis (TB) trends in the Russian Federation for 2010-2019 and 2020. Methods. The main epidemiological TB indicators, including TB-HIV co-infection and multidrugresistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) for 2010-2019 and 2020 were calculated. Results. The estimate number of TB deaths in 2015-2020 went down by at least 58.7%. The absolute number of incident TB cases (new cases and relapses) decreased by 32.5% in 2015-2020. By quarter’s I-III of 2020, the rates of primary MDR-TB increased up to 33.7%. Since 2016, the incidence of TB and HIV co-infection has been stable. The prevalence of TB has been continuously decreasing, and during the past 2-3 years, a decrease in the prevalence of TB- HIV co-infection and MDR-TB was reported. Conclusion. Russia has achieved the interim results of the End TB Strategy 2020, as well as the level of TB incidence corresponding to the late Soviet time. The growth of MDR-TB rate shows the need to expand the introduction of innovative anti-tuberculosis drugs and to revise the regimens for prevention of latent TB infection.

The article presents results of the study ofproblems of the repeated disability due to diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue in retirement age citizens of the Russian Federation in the period of from 2005 to 2014. There were analyzed the number of this category of invalids, their specific weight among re-recognized as disabled cases with account of classes of diseases and the age, structure of the repeated disability in groups, the level of repeated disability and ranking places of subjects of the Russian Federation on this index in 2014. The results of the executed analysis indicate that only in the Russian Federation for 10 years (2005-2014) there were re-recognized as disabled due to diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue 487.1 thousand people from citizens of retirement age with distinct dynamics of the increase as their absolute number (from 22.1 thousand persons in 2005 to 69.3 thousand people in 2014) and the index of disability level (respectively from 7.6 to 20.5 per 10 thousand of the corresponding adult population). This pathology was established to determine a high level of repeated disability in this age group (20.5 per 10 thousand population). Comparative analysis by age revealed that in the Russian Federation in the structure of the repeated disability due to diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue in the adult population invalids of the retirement age prevail (42.8% in 2014). Along with diseases of the circulatory system (of rank 1) and malignant neoplasms (rank 2), diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue form the contingent of cases repeatedly recognized as disabled of retirement age (3th rank place). A ranking ofall subjects of the Russian Federation by the level of repeated disability of citizens of retirement age due to diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue allowed to select 70 ranking places, that with bearing in mind the present demographic situation, has a practical orientation for planning the organization of medical and social care for the given large category of the population.

Aim. To assess the current state of the cardiology bed fund in round-the-clock and day-patient facilities in the Russian Federation and the efficiency of its use in 2010–2018.Materials and methods. Using the method of descriptive statistics, the data from the Federal Statistical Observation Forms (No. 30, 47 and 14DS) were analyzed in order to assess the current state and dynamics of the use of cardiology beds during the 2010–2018 period.Results. The absolute number of cardiology hospital beds in Russia in 2018 amounted to 49,578 beds, which number was lower than in 2010 by 5,899 beds. The absolute number of cardiology beds in day-patient facilities of all hospital types increased by 169 beds and equaled 4,019 beds. The provision of the Russian population with round-the-clock hospital cardiology beds decreased from 3.88 per 10,000 population in 2010 to 3.38 in 2018 (–12.9%). The provision of the population with cardiology beds in day-patient facilities in hospitals providing inpatient care increased by 19.6% (from 0.12 to 0.14 per 10,000 population) in 2010–2018. This indicator decreased by 11.5% (from 0.15 to 0.14 per 10,000 population) in day-patient facilities in medical organizations providing outpatient care in 2014–2018. In Russia, the hospitalization rate in round-the-clock cardiology departments increased from 9.3 per 1000 population in 2010 to 10.8 in 2018 (+16.1%). The average length of patient stay in round-the-clock cardiology departments decreased from 13.1 days to 9.7 days (–26.0%), with the indicator of bed turnover growing by 29.2%. The mortality rate decreased by 3.6% (from 1.96% in 2010 to 1.89% in 2018).Conclusion. The total number of patients treated in cardiology beds of both round-the-clock and day-patient facilities was 266,311 people higher in 2018 compared to 2010, out of which 89.6% (236,004 people) were treated in round-the-clock hospital facilities and 10.4% (27,307 people) — in hospitals providing outpatient care. At the same time, the absolute number of round-the-clock hospital beds decreased. As a result, the rate of substituting treatment at round-the-clock hospital facilities with that at outpatient medical organizations remains insignificant.
