1896 saw the beginning of the new history of the Olympic Games, whose format differs fundamentally from that of the Ancient Olympics. Today, the Olympic Games are a global-scale event that also features athletes with limited mobility (Paralympians). Athletes can now compete in both summer and winter sports. Another distinctive feature of the New Era Olympics is that the event appears to draw terrorists and other criminal elements like a magnet.
In the late 20th century, the world underwent major changes. In the late 1960s the planet was faced with a threat to global security – international terrorism. If in the early 20th century terrorism was considered an implement of the left, since it was accompanied by slogans about a struggle for the happiness of people, although, in essence, it was resorted to by individuals with no clear political platforms, in the middle of the century terrorism was openly taken on board by the right: national-separatists and Fascist movements in Germany, Hungary, and France. Terrorism started to take on different ideological views. In the 20th century, terrorism shifted to the state level.
Consequently, the study of the experience of various countries in terms of ensuring security in preparing and staging the Olympics and Paralympics is of significance for the organizers of international sports events. This article is dedicated to summarizing the experience of using criminological means and methods for ensuring security in preparing and staging the 2014 22nd Olympic Winter Games and 11th Paralympic Winter Games in the City of Sochi.
