Abstract

The analysis of separate legal and criminological aspects of crimes in the sphere of illicit trafficking of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their analogues in the territory of the Irkutsk region is proposed. The concept of sales, fixed in the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of Russia, is analyzed. It is established that the geographical location of the Irkutsk region affects the structure and dynamics of crimes committed. The types of prohibited items (drugs) that are most common in the region, the territory of their growth and supply are determined. The level of anesthesia of the population is analyzed, its dynamics from 2016 to 2020 is studied. It has been revealed that significant difficulties in solving crimes in the field of drug trafficking are occupied by methods of its contactless distribution, the formation of caches, bookmarks, etc. additional difficulties arise when using uncontrolled messengers and software that allow access to sites blocked by Roskomnadzor.
