The study is devoted to the scientific analysis of the elements of the mechanism of subordinate individual legal regulation of activities to ensure the criminological security, in order to determine the conceptual foundations of the scientific understanding of this mechanism. The work was carried out on the basis of an interregional empirical study, which includes: a case study of acts of exercising rights and obligations in the field of crime prevention, interviewing law enforcement officers, as well as a content analysis of court decisions on administrative claims on appealing actions (inaction) and decisions of crime prevention subjects. The relevance of the topic is evidenced by the presence of problems of law enforcement due to shortcomings of regulatory legal acts regulating the activities for the prevention of offenses. The paper contains proposals for improving legislation in the aspect of individual preventive legal regulation. For the first time in criminology, a systematic analysis of the structural elements of the mechanism of subordinate individual legal regulation of crime prevention activities was carried out. The authors came to the conclusion that these should include: the object and subject of individual legal regulation; legal fact; method of individual legal regulation; technologies of regulatory law enforcement; individual legal means. New data have been obtained on criminological law enforcement technologies, in particular, on the use of mediation technology in preventive activities. The paper contains proposals for improving legislation in the aspect of individual preventive legal regulation.
