Introduction: the article considers the concept of prevention in several aspects (social prevention, criminological prevention, situational prevention, evolutionary prevention). We describe the subjects implementing the prevention of offenses and consider the issue of public participation in this process in historical and modern periods. We focus our attention on the prevention of new crimes in the institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service, emphasize its importance during the period of serving a sentence (educational techniques and methods) and after release (interaction of probation inspectorates with law enforcement agencies for the re-socialization of released convicts). We outline possible risks and difficulties of organizing crime prevention together with public organizations: determining preferences for activists; politicization of preventive work (obtaining additional electoral points); selection of activists (preventing the involvement of representatives of the criminal environment). In the context of considering ways to improve prevention, much attention is paid to the prevention of crime through technological innovations: control over people’s movement using a mobile phone; analysis of web browsing history; computer programs for crime prevention; compilation and maintenance of federal database programs; chipping, etc. The study is based on the accumulated experience of implementing preventive work, which is described in the sections “Prevention yesterday” and “Prevention today”. The article analyzes examples of crime prevention in Thailand, the U.S. etc., and reflects the results of implementation of the “Safe City” program in Moscow. The methodological basis of this study is represented by the axiological approach. Research problems were addressed with the use of general philosophical principles of dialectics and special methods of cognition: systematic, formal-legal, sociological, etc. Results: the public remains the most important element of the prevention system. It is necessary to develop and legally consolidate the relevant activities, for example, as it is done in Article 11 of the Federal Law “On the fundamentals of the system for prevention of neglect and juvenile delinquency”. Legal education should be the main weapon in the hands of the subjects of prevention. Elimination of crime should become the main direction of prevention.

Dentro de la Criminología, para algunos autores, la solución a la criminalidad estaría en una mayor punición. Para otros, por el contrario, la solución radicaría en la recuperación de la persona, ya que de esta forma, el binomio toxicómano-delincuente desaparecería. La imputabilidad tiene una íntima relación con las drogodependencias desde el punto de vista de la problemática legal. El ingreso en prisión, en el tema de las drogodependencias, quizás no sea la mejor solución pensando en un futuro, y como una forma de reinsertar al delincuente. El código penal español, prevé la sustitución de las penas privativas de libertad, por las medidas de seguridad previstas en los artículos 95, 96,97 y ss., y 102 y 104. En materia de aplicación de las medidas de seguridad, el código penal de 1995, es más restrictivo. Sin embargo la jurisprudencia viene admitiendo la sustitución de las penas privativas de libertad por las medidas de seguridad, en aquellos supuestos en los cuales se recoja en la sentencia la atenuante grave de drogadicción.In the field of Criminology, part of the literature finds the best approach for the control and prevention of crime in more penalties. Other scholars think that the solution lies in the recuperation of the person. From their point of view, this is a good approach that tries to make the pair addiction-crime disappear. The capacity of culpability is intimately related to addiction from a legal point of view. Prison is not the best way to deal with this problem if one wants to think in the future and rehabilitate the offender. The Spanish Criminal Code considers the substitution of imprisonment penalties with «medidas de seguridad» in articles 95, 96, 97 ss., 102 and 104. Thought the 1995 Criminal code is more restrictive in the issue, Judges and Tribunals do admit the substitution in cases of addiction.
