Abstract

Conceptual approaches formed within the framework of neo-institutional theory, making it possible to understand the motivation of individuals prone to commit economic crimes, are analyzed. The article clarifies the role of various factors that determined both the delinquent behavior of subjects and the response to it from the state and society in conditions when the main resources were directed to achieve a priority, nationally significant, and vital goal. The emphasis is on the views of representatives of this theory, their applicability for interpreting negative processes—offenses that occurred in the economic sphere of the Soviet Union. The scope and implementation of powers of law enforcement agencies; the nature of punishment; and the influence of rationed consumption on the methods of production and distribution of material goods, as well as the social context, which largely determined the “degree of law-abidingness” of citizens, are considered.
