Prospects for the development of criminological (preventive) policy: an interdisciplinary approach

Abstract

The article explores the theoretical and methodological foundations of forming the criminology of the future and the prospects for developing preventive policy in the context of the modern spiritual and ideological crisis. The necessity of implementing an integrative approach is justified, involving the synergy of legal, sociological, psychological, and philosophical knowledge to explain the patterns of modern crime. The author focuses on the transformation of criminological policy from a reactive model to a proactive strategy, where futurological forecasting and innovative prevention methods play a key role. The spiritual-value vector is highlighted as a fundamental component of prevention, based on cultivating high ethical and cultural orientations and respect for human dignity. It is proven that the effectiveness of preventive activities directly depends on the interdisciplinary interaction of management entities and the implementation of «smart» prevention concepts in the digital and urban spheres of social life.
