The state of scientific development of issues related to land mismanagement and counteraction to such crimes

Extended Abstract. The article presents an analysis of scientific sources dedicated to the issue of land mismanagement and counteraction to such crimes in Ukraine. The author establishes that the issues examined encompass several interconnected scientific categories and are the subject matter of scientific research within criminology, criminal law, administrative law, and environmental law, highlighting their interdisciplinary nature. The use of scientific research materials related to issues adjacent to the criminological issues of land mismanagement is justified by the following arguments: the blanket nature of the criminal law norms establishing liability for land mismanagement, with their provisions referring to the regulatory materials of land and environmental legislation; the existence of intersectoral competition between criminal and administrative law norms, and therefore the need to delineate offences in this category; the preventive potential of administrative law measures in the field of land protection, since the practice of holding violators of land legislation administratively liable forms part of the preventive measures against land mismanagement; the functional activities of bodies responsible for monitoring land use and land protection as components of the system for preventing and countering land mismanagement; as a criminological phenomenon, land mismanagement manifests itself as a form of criminal activity, with its legal features described in the provisions of Article 254 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Currently, the level of scientific development of the criminological issues related to land mismanagement is characterized by fragmentation and the absence of targeted, specific criminological studies in this area. This underscores the importance of understanding the essence of land mismanagement, highlighting its state and trends, and studying the peculiarities of its determination and counteraction.

Key words: scientific development, thesis research, scientific sources, land mismanagement, soils, environment, crimes, environmental crime, criminal liability, counteraction.
