Abstract

The current publication aims to analyze the current crime phenomenon from a
criminological perspective, by analyzing the main factors that contribute to its emergence
and expansion in the Republic of Moldova and Romania. Particular attention is paid to
criminological factors, highlighting the evolution of current crime and the persistent
difficulties in the effective enforcement of rules against it. The criminological approach
focuses on identifying a methodology for assessing institutional deficiencies and the
responses of state authorities to the detection, investigation, and combating of
contemporary crime. At the same time, the scientific message analyzes the nature of this
phenomenon, its forms of manifestation, the criminological challenges it generates and the
implications for current criminal policy.
