Annotation The statistical indicators of crime of the population of the municipal formations of the Transbaikal Region are investigated and discussed. The aim of writing an article is a comparative statistical analysis of registered crime in the municipalities of the Transbaikal Region. It is shown that the relevance of the problem under study is related to the possibility of obtaining a factual basis for the development of new directions and forms of targeted counteraction to crime. It was revealed that, in accordance with the well-known criminological typology of the regions, the Transbaikal Region belongs to the regions of the second type, with the prevailing general criminality associated with the social unsettledness of a significant part of the population. The information base of the research was the open statistical data of the regional prosecutor’s office, statistics of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, statistical collections of Zabaikalkraistat, scientific articles, and other information sources. A comparative analysis of the eight «index» indicators of crime in Russia, the SFO and the Transbaikal Region for 2015 showed that regional crime in four indicators exceeds those compared. The diagrams show the level of crime and its components in the administrative center of the Transbaikal Region, with differentiation in administrative areas, illustrating the dynamics of thefts, as well as grave and especially grave crimes for the period 2014—2016. During the same period, the dynamics of indices of the crime rate of the population of the municipal entities of the Transbaikal Region was revealed, and a map-scheme of the distribution of the crime rate of the population of the municipal districts of the Transbaikal Region was constructed using averaged indicators. With the help of two methods (by extrapolation and by revealing the trend) the crime level forecast for the end of 2017 was carried out
