Administrative regulation of minimizing the causes of corruption in the social sphere

Abstract

The problems of the progressive development of our society are dictated by the shortcomings of the legal, organizational anti-corruption, especially in the social sphere. This article is aimed at developing proposals to minimize the causes of corruption in the social sphere. The article notes that corruption, along with other reasons, entails negative consequences in the form of inefficient use of budget expenditures, which, according to the law, should have been aimed at solving important social issues, but they are not being addressed. Formed in the modern period, the decentralized nature of the management of the social sphere does not allow building a clear system of administrative opposition to the causes that determine corruption in the social sphere. Based on this, we believe that we should take a different approach to the development of administrative regulation of the fight against corruption in the social sphere, but for this it is necessary to know the causes and conditions that determine corruption in the social sphere, as well as the needs of the law enforcement practice to combat this phenomenon. The article reveals the possibilities of administrative means of combating corruption, as well as identifying and eliminating the causes and conditions that determine the level of corruption in the social sphere using legal and organizational means. Also, the essence of the legal and organizational support of the fight against corruption is revealed in the work, the types of organizational and legal means involved in the mechanism of ensuring the social function of the state are determined.
