Abstract
One of the unfavorable realities of the post-Soviet period of the development of the Kazakh state was the destruction of the formed sufficiently effective system of crime prevention. The main fundamental points of the organization of the system of crime prevention in the Republic of Kazakhstan are the need to strengthen the legal framework in this area, preventive work among young people, social adaptation of persons released from prison, as well as persons without a fixed place of residence and occupation, active involvement of citizens and public organizations in law enforcement. Crime prevention has always occupied and occupies a central place in the activities of not only law enforcement agencies, but also many state and public institutions. A significant role in preventive work at the present stage is played by the state authorities. Crime prevention in the broadest sense is a social phenomenon that arises and functions in society between individuals and their associations. In the process of modernization of Kazakhstan's prevention system, the primary role is assigned to the regional level, which determines the effectiveness of the work carried out in this direction by territorial entities of regional significance. This study is devoted to the consideration of problematic aspects of legal regulation and the activities of subjects of crime prevention in order to develop proposals for improving the current legislation.
