Abstract. Using general and specialized scientific research methods there has been presented a criminological characterization of the personality traits of the modern offender who commits specific types of transport-related crimes. There have been determined typologies of such offenders, taking into account contemporary trends. There have been also analyzed the reasons for the decrease in the growth rate of crimes connected with traffic safety and operation of transport. There has been concluded that the study of the profile of the offender who commits transport-related crimes makes it possible to find out the specific mechanisms of individual criminal activity, guide law enforcement practitioners toward an understanding of the causal factors and motives behind the offender’s actions, and develop effective, modern methods and mechanisms to prevent and correct the criminal behavior of such individuals.

Keywords: transport-related crimes; prevention and correction of criminal behavior; causal complex and motives of the individual committing a transport-related crime.
