Introduction. The article deals with classical and contemporary criminological theories considered to be still relevant, as well as their influence on solving problems of crime prevention and ensuring security in society. However, while classical criminological theories mainly focused on explaining the causes of criminal behavior, contemporary theories, such as theories of development and life cycle, spatial distribution of crime, etc., are based on interdisciplinary research taking into account present-day social contexts and their related security issues. Research methods. The research is based on general scientific methods, such as comparison, analysis, synthesis, as well as deductive methods, making it possible to formulate some general conclusions. Conclusion. Over many decades, the study of crime and its causes has significantly evolved, extending beyond criminal law and the examination of factors contributing to criminal behavior. The research findings reveal that a synergistic approach, integrating ideas of both traditional and contemporary criminological theories, is crucial for developing effective security measures in a fast changing world. Interdisciplinary interaction with other sciences is becoming the cornerstone of contemporary criminology, being essential for developing effective programmes for providing the state and community safety.
