Abstract: Over recent years, drug addiction and drug related crime remain one of the most immediate threats to public safety in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The aim of the research lied in examination of the current state of drug addiction and drug-related crime, as well as in identification of the factors that contribute to their expansion and functioning. General scientific methods of cognition, allowing to consider phenomena in development and interconnection, as well as an analysis of legislative and by-laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan, law enforcement practice of judicial and law enforcement agencies and scientific publications of domestic and foreign specialists were used as the methodological basis. Acquired results indicated that the existing system of resistance in Kazakhstan and other countries is not able to provide the desired efficiency and is in need of modification and updating. It has been established that drug addiction and drug crime cover not only legal, but also social, economic, medical and organizational aspects, which requires comprehensive measures of influence. Based on the results of the study, amendments to the criminal, criminal procedure and penal enforcement legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan are proposed, aimed at improving the effectiveness of counteraction and strengthening public safety.
