The article deals with topical problems of national legislation in the field of prevention of male and female crime and the experience of foreign states such as the USA, Russia, Japan, China, France and Belgium in the fight against crime. Implementing male and female crime prevention measures is often a complex task. However, theoretical knowledge is not sufficient to respond to the existing challenges in the fight against crime at local and national level and to successfully develop and implement a crime prevention policy or program. An acute problem is the lack of progress and gaps in the organizational and legal framework of the activities of the authorities for preventing and combating crime, as the current state of the legal system, especially with reference to the crime prevention process in the Republic of Moldova, does not correspond to the existing realities, being nothing but a system with weak mechanisms, which are not effective in the fight against crime.
