CRIMINOLOGICAL PROFILE OF THE MEDICAL PERSONNEL WHO HAVE COMMITTED CORRUPTION-RELATED OFFENSES

Abstract

The article investigates corruption-related offenses in Russia's healthcare system today. It has been established that more than half of the convicted medical personnel committed crimes for obvious self-interest. The study looks into the social and demographic, moral and psychological features of a medical officer’s criminological profile who has committed a corruption offense. The majority of cases of medical officers committing corruption offenses demonstrated little to no guilty plea or confession of the act itself, but not of its criminal nature. The article identifies the criminological profile of a medical officer who is capable of committing corruption-related offenses.
