Abstract: Political crime has not been the subject matter of substantial criminological research. Given the fact that it is a phenomenon that has immeasurable social consequences, it is necessary to examine the scientific thought on this topic. The first part of the paper provides a legal history overview of political crime in different historical periods. The second part of the paper focuses on the conceptual framework of political crime, including its definition, forms of manifestation and examples. In the final part, the authors emphasize the need for further criminological studies on this form of crime.
