Abstract

. The article deals with the problems of corruption crime in the sphere of housing and communal services. Criminologists believe that almost all public relations established and protected by law, including in the field of housing and communal services, can be subject to corruption. The reason for this situation is that the state regulation of the sphere under consideration gives rise to a corruption defeat of the established decision-making procedure due to the mercenary actions of responsible officials. Corruption as a factor affecting the state of crime in the sphere of housing and communal services is a significant obstacle to the development of not only the industry itself, but the entire economy as a whole. Corruption crime in the sphere of housing and communal services has a determining effect on other types of crime in the territory of the Russian Federation. It is necessary to consider the problems of the development of corruption crime in the sphere of housing and communal services to work out subsequently a unified state strategy for ensuring the financial security of the housing sector in Russia, an integral part of which should be the reform of criminal law and the improvement of law enforcement.
