Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article examines the victimological prevention of violent crime in the Republic of Kazakhstan. It examines the role of victimology in studying crime victims, their behavior, and the likelihood of committing a crime. It also analyzes the socio-psychological and legal aspects of victimology and explores ways to improve the effectiveness of victim protection systems. The main objective of this work is to analyze the prevention of various crimes, such as domestic violence, street violence, bullying, and youth violence. The study considers not only the crime rate but also the social situation in society, the legal culture of citizens, the role of family and education, and the level of legal literacy in society. The article simultaneously examines the socio-psychological and economic factors that increase the likelihood of violence and evaluates the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of preventive measures. The article is based on an analysis of the activities of law enforcement and social welfare agencies, citizen protection mechanisms, and the role of public organizations and volunteers. The study presents practical recommendations for improving the system of violent crime prevention, as well as recommendations aimed at increasing legal literacy and social protection for citizens. It also emphasizes the importance of creating a culture of prevention through coordinated social, educational, and law enforcement efforts. This approach helps prevent violence, improve public safety, and strengthen citizens’ legal accountability.
