According to the General Statistics Office of Vietnam, the area of the region is 40,576.2 km², with a population of 17,590,000 people From 2011 to 2021, the Southwestern provinces had a strong socio-economic development, with the regional GDP increasing by 7.8%/ year on average [100] In addition to the socio-economic achievements, the downside of the market economy has been increasingly revealing its limitations and significant impacts on social life, making the regional security and order situation become complicated The crime situation in general and the situation of offenses against human health in particular also tend to increase in the number of cases and the number of offenders According to statistics from People's Courts at all levels in the Southwestern provinces, for a period of 10 years from 2011 to 2021, there were 21,632 cases with 28,337 defendants There is an average of 2,163 cases per year with 2,833 defendants [84] In addition, according to the author's research, the situation of offenses against human health in recent times in Southwestern provinces has been very complicated: Gang or group-based nature criminal activities with using a variety of weapons to commit offenses with aggressive, reckless, blatant, thuggish nature have been increasing; The situation of protection rackets and hired killing has not been thoroughly suppressed, causing panic and discontent among the masses of people The consequences and harms of this type of crime are very serious, and at the same time have adversely affected information security as well as the environment for socio-economic development and created psychological insecurity in people's lives In order to promptly combat the crime situation, the Politburo issued Directive No 48-CT/TW dated October 22, 2010 on strengthening the Party's leadership in crime situation prevention and fighting in the new situation, the Government directed the implementation of projects of the National Crime Prevention Program (Decision No 1217/QD-TTg dated September 06, 2012 of the Prime Minister); promulgated the National Crime Prevention Strategy; Decision No 623/QD-TTg on approving the National Crime Prevention and Fighting Strategy for 2016 – 2025 period, with an orientation to 2030 Our State also promulgated, amended and supplemented Criminal Code 2015 (amended and supplemented in 2017), which is an important basis for all levels, branches and localities to synchronously implement solutions to prevent and combat crime in the current status Although certain results have been achieved, there are still some limitations and shortcomings in the activities to prevent the situation of offenses against human health, the effectiveness of the above work has not really achieved the set goals, the situation of offenses against human health has been still increasing and complicated The above situation stems from many different reasons, including those belonging to the competent authorities, such as: activities to prevent the situation of offenses against human health in some places have not been paid enough attention and have not been carried out regularly, continuously and synchronously; the causes and conditions giving rise to offenses have not been comprehensively and adequately remedied; technical means are both inadequate and outdated, with limited funds for operation that not meet the requirements of crime situation prevention; the theoretical system of the crime situation prevention work has not developed commensurate with the actual requirements and demands; coordination between agencies in the political system for the crime situation prevention in general and offenses against human health has been still weak and formalistic; The legal basis for the prevention of these offenses has not been synchronous and complete, therefore it has not created an adequate legal corridor for prevention Thus, one of the important reasons is that the theoretical system of preventing the situation of offenses against human health has not been scientifically studied and summarized as a basis for the operation of the competent authorities This preventing the situation of offenses can only be highly effective when crime situation prevention and fighting forces not only are equipped with modern specialized technical means but also, with great significance, have mechanisms to operate based on scientific scientifically theoretical systems Although, so far, there have been a number of studies on the prevention and fighting against offenses related to this group
