Administrative law rules strengthen a wide range of persuasion and coercion measures applied by the public administration to ensure compliance with the rule of law and to prevent crime in rural areas. Prevention of crime in rural areas involves a historically conditioned system of measures taken by central and local public authorities, by applying methods of persuasion or coercion aimed at overcoming, reducing or neutralizing the causes and conditions that lead to the commission of wrongdoing (contraven-tions and crimes) in rural areas and in other territories outside the city, both by locals and visitors, which are characterized by certain distinct features, due to the peculiarities of the rural environment.
