The rule of law in combating crimes in many respects depends on effective prevention of the crimes representing higher social danger. In this range, the relevance of studying a problem of crime repetition as a phenomenon, negative contents of which is characterized by higher social danger than unified crime and reflects, consequently, higher social danger of the persons whose acts form the repetition than those who commit unified crimes, is increased. In this regard, the issues of improving both legislative base, and law-enforcement practice in combating the specified form of criminal activity are very important.

Having a peculiar structure and ways of expression in the criminal law, crime repetition is a certain system of stable relations. The commitment of two or more independent crimes by a person provides the ground for considering the crime repetition as a form of crime multiplicity.

As a form of manifestation of multiple crimes, the repetition is characterized by all its signs, so it is formed by acts containing in itself all signs of corpus delicti, the responsibility for which is provided by independent penal norm. Commitment of several crimes anyway testifies to the higher danger of the personality of a criminal, his/her steadier antisocial orientation. A person who commits several crimes finds resistant, negative attitude to society. But commitment of identical or homogenous crime makes a crime more dangerous, because the person gains criminal experience and professionalism. The said forms a basis for crime repetition as a legal institute.

According to the author, juridical literature contains valuable provisions, conclusions and recommendations on the issues of repeated crimes. However, with all their undoubted value for developing the criminal law science and practice of the fight against crime, there are several unresolved problems of crime repetition, namely in the sphere of defining its legal signs, bases for the classification of repetition, definition of the concepts and types of its different kinds, their difference from unified crimes, imposition of punishment for the crime repetition, etc. And, therefore, as the author considers, at present this problem like many other problems of criminal law needs complex research.
