Popis: The article is devoted to the cognition of crime as a complex object (phenomenon), which has the nature of a system. The crime is analyzed from the point of view of the theory of cognition and general systems theory (system approach). Problems of crime cognition are discussed on the examples from the public prosecutor’s work practice. The author treats criminological theory of crime as a basis for the formation of the general theory of crime. Resting on the general systems theory the author describes crime from the perspective of cybernetic and synergetic approach. The author proposes that the general theory of crime should embrace the theories of crime developed in criminology, forensic and criminal legal studies, as long as they adopt the general systems theory for their theoretical description of crime.
