Civil defence systems hold great relevance for criminologists seeking to understand how societies prepare for, cope with, and recover from disasters. This article provides a criminological analysis of civil defence in Kazakhstan, examining the legal frameworks, organizational structures, and systemic factors that shape this country’s approach. Utilizing methods such as system analysis, a critical examination is undertaken of Kazakhstan’s civil defence policies and practices. The rationality, efficiency, and interagency coordination of civil defence are assessed. Comparisons are drawn with civil defence systems in other nations to derive insights into best practices for strengthening public safety and social cohesion in times of crisis. Recommendations are provided for leveraging criminological training and research to identify gaps, reduce systemic flaws, and enhance service provision around disaster management in Kazakhstan. This criminological analysis aims to spur innovative approaches that strengthen civil defence and its intersections with law and justice.
