that the present-day crisis in the state and political
order is, largely, related to the criminogenic

the first place, the lack of action on the part of the
society and the state. This allows the criminality to
penetrate in all social and public institutes and create
the political and economic chaos. For obvious reasons,

state and the formation of smaller state structures, the
introduction of external control, the loss of sovereignty
and the annexation of its territories by more powerful
states
