The objective of thispaper is to generalize modern activity of the public units in the sphere of crime prevention in Belarus on the basis of analysis of its crime rates.

Voluntary people’s guards’ work bases on the territorial and production principles. It means that people’s guards are formed mostly on large enterprises and in universities. Conclusion: Voluntary people’s guards’ work is the most spread form of public participation in the crime prevention in the Republic of Belarus. The pattern of its activity is the Russian Federation practice in this sphere.
