Introduction. The article discusses measures to prevent crimes among pardoned persons who arrived from the zone of a special military operation, and in particular – murders and intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm as one of the most socially dangerous acts. Methods. During the study, the general scientific dialectical method of cognition of the surrounding reality was used, which involves a complete and comprehensive study of phenomena, consideration of connections and contradictions between them, abstraction and generalization, designed to systematize established facts. Results. The article substantiates the need for administrative supervision over pardoned citizens who arrived from the zone of a special military operation, development and implementation of a program for their social adaptation and resocialization as a mechanism for curbing crime. The issue of the use of security measures by operational police units in relation to participants in criminal proceedings, which resulted in convictions of persons who were later pardoned in connection with participation in a special military operation, was raised. It is concluded that in order to prevent murders, threats to kill or causing grievous harm to health in the context of the return of such pardoned persons from the combat zone, it is extremely important at the state level to determine legal, organizational, staffing, technical, financial mechanisms for the implementation of administrative supervision over these persons, and in relation to those who may pose a threat, it is necessary to use the capabilities of operational intelligence activities.
