The scientific novelty of the publication is that based on the analysis of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of criminal offenses in the field of insurance, the system of criminally punishable acts that encroach on various objects of criminal law protection is determined. A special place in it is occupied by various types of illegal seizure of the insurance company's property by professional insurance market participants and policyholders. Conclusions. Given the scale of criminal offenses in the field of insurance, insurance companies need to work together to avoid them. This requires the creation of associations, tandems of insurers, in which to combine databases containing information about the insured, “blacklists” of unscrupulous policyholders, joint regional data banks on potential fraudsters and other information. In addition, the priority of crime prevention in this segment is the interaction of law enforcement agencies with the security services of insurance companies in detecting fraud and other illegal acts aimed at illegally obtaining insurance compensation. We believe that the practical application of the above measures will contribute to the development of the domestic insurance market and increase the efficiency of the insurance institution in general
