The realities of life, unfortunately, are such that hundreds of our compatriots become victims of aggression, violence, robbery and robbery every day. Why in one city even a day's walk can end tragically, and in another you can feel confident in your safety at night too? What determines the number of crimes committed in the region? And what point on the map has been known for several years as the most criminal city in Russia? The answers to these questions are addressed in this review.
In general, in terms of the number of crimes, primacy is firmly entrenched in Moscow and St. Petersburg, but this is not surprising and quite natural: several million people live in both capitals. If we consider the number of atrocities committed per ten thousand people, then megacities are not even included in the list of the most criminal cities in Russia, with 20 points. This indicator grows as you move to the north-east on the map of our homeland.
Many analysts directly associate the criminogenicity of a particular region with the number of “places not so distant” located there. Thus, the most criminal city in Russia in terms of murders, attempted murders and rapes is Kyzyl (Republic of Tuva). This is a relatively small town, with a population of just over 100 thousand inhabitants, surrounded by 5 GUFSIN institutions, one of them being a colony settlement, the other a maximum security prison for long-term offenders. On the second or third line among the same notorious cities are Chita, Gorno-Altaysk and Yakutsk.
The crime rate is also traditionally high in ports, at large transportation hubs and in places of concentration of shift workers, lumberjacks, that is, in areas where people get paid more than once a month, but for the whole season. Such ports as Khabarovsk, Vladivostok, Komsomolsk-on-Amur and Arkhangelsk, the cities of gas and oil industry workers Tyumen, Surgut, Yakutsk competed for the far from the most honorable title “The most criminal city in Russia in the number of crimes per 10 thousand inhabitants in 2013”.
Big cities of Siberia - such as Irkutsk, Bratsk, Krasnoyarsk and Kurgan - are in twenty cities where robberies are most often carried out, brazenly rob and quietly steal, but they are still not leaders in the rating “The Most Criminal City of Russia”, and they occupy there are places from third to sixth. Although there are all the conditions that contribute to the flourishing of crime, there are a large number of institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service. It should be understood that the danger to city dwellers is not these “educational institutions” themselves, but the people who have served their sentences, their high numbers and criminal organizational skills.
But perhaps the most unfavorable situation in terms of the number of crimes per 10 thousand of the population is taking shape in the center of Perm Territory. The most criminal city in Russia in 2013 is Perm, a giant in the mining and oil refining industries, almost immediately followed by Berezniki, a large regional city with well-developed chemical production. Why are these cities so life-threatening? Ideally, in addition to answering such a question, decisions should also be taken on a number of problems in organizing the rule of law, environmental protection and the fight against corruption.
