Abstract

The article focuses on the need to use sociological methods in criminological research. The current situation in Ukraine is characterized by inconsistency in state statistics on criminality in the country. And the only alternative can be an expert survey in this area and analysis of relevant data. This approach requires compliance with the scientific approach and achievement of representativeness of criminological conclusions. To this end, sociological science uses a variety of methods to achieve data reliability and conclusions validity. In order to test the hypothesis, the methods of logical error, cluster analysis were used; their efficiency for data purification and ensuring representativeness of criminological conclusions was analyzed.
