CRIME TO THE DAMAGE OF ECONOMIC TRADE AND ITS COMBAT BY THE POLICE – LEGAL AND CRIMINAL ASPECTS

Summary/Abstract: Economic crime affects almost all spheres of social and economic life, and as practice proves, itis a complex phenomenon around which all the significant problems of contemporary crime areconcentrated. A special form of economic crime is crime detrimental to economic turnover, characterized by numerous and varied forms of behavior by the perpetrators, posing a threat to theeconomic security of the state by disturbing the proper functioning of the exchange of goods.The central place in this area of threat is occupied by the „white collar’ perpetrator, operating ina „golden crime” structure, who, motivated by the desire to make a profit, within the frameworkof his individual „modus operandi” carries out economic crimes in the civil-legal sphere of economic turnover, with the complicity of accompanying crimes, such as traditional and drugcrimes, often of an organised nature, using simple, but also intellectually sophisticated methods,forms and means. Depending on the category of offender, in his interest (often depending on hiseducation and social position) and the manner in which the offence is carried out, etc., a numberof dependencies, as well as discrepancies, can be discerned, which can contribute to the targetingof the detection efforts undertaken by law enforcement agencies aimed at identifying him andproving his guilt. For this reason, it is important to determine the nature and extent of economiccrime, as well as the characteristics of the perpetrator, as only such data is able to support thedetection process and thus contribute to minimising the negative consequences of this structurally complex crime.
