Nusikalstamumas yra skaudi problema, kuri sunkina visuomenės ekonominę, dvasinę, kultūrinę bei socialinę pažangą. Asmens ir visuomenės saugumas yra būtina sąlyga, siekiant strateginio valstybės politikos tikslo – asmens teisių ir laisvių užtikrinimo. Vienas iš būdų, galinčių padėti šį tikslą pasiekti yra nusikaltimų prevencija ir kontrolė. Nusikaltimų prevencija ir kontrolė gali būti sėkminga, kai joje dalyvauja galimai daugiau socialinių subjektų – teisėsaugos institucijos, verslo bendruomenė, savivaldybių institucijos, visuomeninės organizacijos, eiliniai visuomenės nariai.
Criminality is a severe problem that makes economical, spiritual, cultural and social progress more difficult. The security of person’s rights and liberties is a strategic goal of the state politics, the success of which depends on an essential condition - the safety of the person and the society. Crime prevention and control could be one of the means that help to reach this goal. The success of the crime prevention and control can be increased by involvement of as many social subjects as possible: law institutions, business society, local government institutions, public organisations and members of the society. It has been noticed that implementation of the crime prevention and control in Lithuania mostly depends on the state institutions and local government institutions which immediate or implicit obligation is to perform this activity. However the role of the society in creation and execution of these programmes is very modest. This study is trying to answer the question what would encourage society to participate more actively in crime prevention and control, and at the same time contend with criminality and ensure self safety and the safety of the loved ones. The research of master theses ‘Crime prevention and society’ focuses on the society assessment of the crime prevention, crime prevention types, the subjects working in crime prevention and the society understanding of the crime prevention law regulations. The basic concepts used in the study: Society – the common life of people bound by organisational relations and purposeful activity which is based on the internecine material economical dependence. Criminality – the process consisting of totality of deed acts punishable by law, made in a particular state or region in a certain period of time. Crime prevention – the means of impact on crime that aim to prevent crime by indicating and eliminating common causes and conditions of the crime. The survey carried out by the author, statistical criminality data and science literature, national and international legislation has been used as the basis of analysis how society understands different crime prevention types, tools, their efficiency and utilisation in practice. This work identifies what is the current society need for the safety. It also gives proposals and recommendations in relation to society participation in crime prevention activity.
