Theory and practice

P.A. Skoblikov Refusal of law enforcers to initiate a criminal case: typical tricks
Illegal refusal to initiate criminal cases infringes crime victims’ constitutional rights of protection and access to justice, and leads to other negative consequences. Victims and their representatives’ vain attempts to bring criminal cases form high artificial latency of crimes, so the ratio of latent delinquency exceeds the ratio of recorded criminality by several times. As a result, the information about the level of crime and outcomes of preventive measures against crimes turns to be distorted, and countermeasures (legal, organisational, social, psychological, informational etc.) based on this information are inefficient. This is probably the major problem of law enforcement. How do police officers refuse to start criminal cases? What tricks do they use? Why do these tricks work? The paper offers answers to these questions.
Keywords: latent delinquency, artificial latency of crimes, crimes concealment, refusal to initiate criminal cases, breach of competence, initiation of a criminal case, protection of victims
