The thesis about the increased public danger of acts related to the illegal return of overdue debt obligations is substantiated and proved in the work. The author identifies qualitative and quantitative criteria, which include the circumstances on which the assessment of the degree of public danger of criminal attacks in the area of economic activity under study depends. The results of the study are based on our own study of empirical materials obtained during the study of judicial practice (103 published sentences in criminal cases for crimes involving illegal activities for the recovery of overdue debts).
