Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the proposed work is to trace the relationship between crime and the dynamics of the social situation, emphasizing the importance of law as the main normative system. The main research method is the analysis of statistical information on the state of crime for a relatively long period, analysis of changes in legislation and comparison of two processes. The report analyzes two specific social situations - the transition from a one-party political system and centralized planned economy to a multiparty political system and market economy and the period of the pandemic of COVID 19. Parallel tracking of changes in society and in the regulatory framework clearly shows the connection between them. It is concluded that in the conditions of dynamic social changes, the timeliness of changes in laws, their adequacy to the real social situation and scientifically based forecasts of its development are of key importance for the state of crime.
