Abstract
Subject of consideration in this paper is social, legal, political and sociological component of crime and corruption. It starts with comparability between criminality and corruption in various social rela-tions and historical stages. Today's specificity and characteristic of corruption and criminality are viewed within the framework of social, economic, political and legal relations generated by globalisa-tion and unifying processes. These relations are in a direct causal relationship with phenomenon, in-tensity, type, extent and policies of fighting crimes and corruption. In particular, the author analyses relations in transitional states in late nineties of the last century. Those states found themselves in en-tirely new historical circumstances, specifically in a maelstrom of global tendencies related to crime and corruption trends. In this context we critically present and analyse wasteland of Croatian paradigms related to corruption and criminality, as well as policies of fighting those very dangerous and destabilising phenomenon for society and the state. In conclusion we give a basic constitutional and political framework for efficient social, political and legal actions in fight against crime and corruption.
