Abstract
Purpose –The fight against corruption,which undermines the efficiency of the state apparatus and public
confidence in public institutions,remains one of the critical present-day tasks. In this regard,the purpose of
this study is to identify the available possibilities and real practice of law enforcement of the norms on
investigativeprevention, the practical significance of this institutionand its potential.
Design/methodology/approach –The study investigated theoretical materials on criminological
prevention,legislative norms and available law enforcementpractice.
Findings –It was discovered that, in general, the available statutory regulation is insufficient for the full-
fledged practical implementation of the potential of investigative prevention. An exception is specialised
prevention, assigned as one of the main tasks to theAgency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Combating
Corruption. Proposals have been formulated to improve anti-corruption investigative prevention in other
bodies of pre-trialinvestigation, considering the identified risks.
Originality/value –The uniqueness of the situation lies in the fact that the existenceof the institution of
investigative prevention, in fact, is limited to the post-Soviet space. The elimination of formalism in the
approach to this method of crime preventioncan contribute to greater efficiency in the fight against crime,
includingcorruption.
