This article will focus on the liberal model of democratic political regime, because it is still dominating in the public consciousness of many countries of the world as the most relevant model of democracy. Crime as a socially contradictory phenomenon that challenges the fundamental principles of lawful behavior of the population exists in both liberal democracies and authoritarian regimes. An attempt will be made to rethink the nature of democracy through an understanding of the criminality that exists in it as well as that which exists in authoritarian regimes of the world. The aim of the paper is to attempt to put forward viable theoretical propositions to explain the dif-ferences in the activity of criminality in democracies from authoritarian regime countries and to find a solution to reduce the phenomenon of criminality.
