Abstract: The article is devoted to the study of preventive measures to prevent and fight corruptionin Ukraine. Corruption is a term that can be characterized using various criteria from many fields of knowledge, such as sociology, psychology, political science, jurisprudence, etc. Taking into account the above, a study of the branch sciences was conducted on the genetic programming of a person to commit corrupt acts as historically fixed in the subconscious, that is, froma psychological and sociological point of view. It is noted that the purpose of the study is to determine measures to prevent corruption through the prism of the psychological perception of this phenomenon as negative for society and to determine preventive measures to combat the so-called addiction to corruption in the psychological aspect. It is proved that such measures are more progressive than punishment in the legal aspect. On the other hand, using preventive measures of a psychological and social nature, it is necessary to study the possibility of strengthening legal responsibility for neglecting the use of preventive measures in the field of corruption prevention. An interconnected chain has been studied, which is determined by the psychological properties of an individual who has a tendency to corrupt acts; the sociological aspect of the permissibility of the development of opportunities for the spread of corruption in any form in society; the political aspect of corruption, which consists in the political activity of subjects of power regarding the activities of political parties, the electoral, legislative, budgetary process, privatization, etc. and the legal aspect of corruption, which is manifested on the one hand in the violation of the law as an objective category, and on the other in the fact that the state takes legal and other measures provided for by law to combat this social disadvantage. Based on the conducted research, conclusions were drawn on the need to improve mechanisms that will be aimed at working with the subjective aspect of overcoming corruption (political and legal) through the objective aspect (psychological and social). Psychological measures to prevent corruption can be implemented in independent testing for a possible tendency to corrupt acts, preventive conversations with the disclosure of the consequences on a global scale that even local corruption causes, the formation in society of a worldview, which is, for example, typical of Eastern countries, that even suspicion of the possibility of corrupt acts is ashame for a person and his family members, who could know what a relative was doing, but did not contribute to his correction, using the fruits of his dishonest activities, etc.
