Crime has shadowed many spheres of the human life and thus predetermined the development of many institutions fundamental for a civilized society, such as law enforcement, judicial and penitentiary systems. The increased number of crimes committed in the society has changed the perception of this phenomenon depriving it of its obvious anti-moral connotation. In other words, the society has reconciled itself with crime and considers it as a routine fact. In such a situation it becomes difficult to distinguish between legal and illegal acts, especially in the sphere of business. At the same time, the society fails to evaluate the real magnitude of criminal activity which has grown global. The XXI century has seen territorial outbreaks of crimes where criminals are the law (for example, the prohibited organization of ISIS). A rapidly developing space of Internet has become an incubator of crime ranging from arms and drugs trafficking to different hacking attacks pursuing different aims.

Venue: Atrium Center of the B.Yeltsin Center

Address: Boris Yeltsin St., 3, Yekaterinburg

The current society does not have a balanced model of interaction between criminal law and economy. Complicated economic relations and new economic institutions are inevitably reflected in the language of criminal law. The response from criminal law must be timely but not hasty. At the same time excessive criminalization and gaps in the legislation concerning liability for economic crimes significantly affect the economic relations.

2:15 p.m. - 3:45 p.m. Panel discussion: "Architectural space: a criminological aspect"

Venue: Atrium Center of the B. Yeltsin Center

Address: Boris Yeltsin St., 3, Yekaterinburg

Architectural space has direct impact on crime, sending a message and creating comfortable or uncomfortable conditions for committing an act. There is no obligatory requirement to take into account criminological factors in architectural engineering. Criminological knowledge is applied occasionally, if at all, while creating or reconstructing new spaces and, thus, leading to two negative consequences: creating a dangerous space and producing an illusion of safety.

Venue: Congress Center of the B. Yeltsin Center

Address: Boris Yeltsin St., 3, Yekaterinburg

The darknet, accounts uncontrolled by the fiscal system, virtual logistics, instant exchange of information and anonymity have created an ideal atmosphere for cybercrime. Many spheres of human activity have also been shifted into virtual reality: communication, training, bank transactions, purchase and storage of information. The society has faced a huge number of challenges arising out of a rapidly changing world of information.

4:00 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. Panel discussion: "Do social upheavals provoke crimes? Who is to be blamed? What to do?"

Venue: Congress Center of the B. Yeltsin Center

Address: Boris Yeltsin St., 3, Yekaterinburg

Wars, revolutions and conflicts at different levels never cease, not even for a minute. Our history proves that the society is never ready to cope with a huge wave of crimes as a result of social upheavals. Nevertheless, social upheavals as a contributing factor are not studied thoroughly by criminologists. If criminology and criminal law experts are able to elaborate a model of response to social upheavals, it will enable to avoid excessive costs of conflicts, reduce possible damage, prevent an increase of crimes in certain spheres and, ideally, contribute to coping with unfavorable consequences by the society.
