Abstract

The article analyzes modern criminological theories and the prospects for their application in law enforcement practices in the Republic of Uzbekistan. It examines the key tenets of rational choice theory, routine activity theory, “broken windows” theory, and the concept of situational crime prevention. The author explores the possibilities for adapting crime prevention experience from other countries to the national legal system. The study is based on a comprehensive analysis of scholarly literature, legal and regulatory documents, and crime statistics in Uzbekistan. It concludes that modern criminological theories need to be integrated into the crime prevention system, taking into account national characteristics and cultural traditions.
