Putin: Criminogenic situation in the country continues to be complex

"I mean the development of approaches to the creation of an effective stateist in the prevention of offenses," Putin explained. “In fact, it is about how to eliminate the reasons for the criminalization of society,” he said.
"Both foreign and our own experience show that it is at the prevention stage that you can effectively counteract almost all types of crimes. And what is especially important to protect youth and people who find themselves in a difficult life situation," the head of state said.
“Meanwhile, the criminogenic situation in the country continues to be difficult,” Putin admitted. “The level of organized and relapsed crime is still high, almost every third domestic crime is committed under the influence of alcohol. The number of offenses committed by adolescents is great,” he complained.

Why are we going here? We will have time to have dinner and talk, but here we are going to talk about our children, about the future of the country,” he said, referring to violators of silence.
