The fight against the manifestation of extremism among young people is an urgent problem that goes beyond law enforcement and requires a comprehensive socio-political solution. At the same time, preventive measures and technologies for the prevention of this negative phenomenon of public life play a significant role in countering extremism. The effective implementation of crowdsourcing network technologies unites national security entities for a coordinated solution of an urgent problem and helps to level the extremist threat. Their effectiveness should be measured based on the number of identified facts of an extremist orientation, and also the quality of leveling the negative consequences caused by extremist activity. To achieve the goal and objectives of the study, a system of scientific methods based on the systemic principle, the institutional approach, and the sociological method was used. All these methods made it possible to identify the importance of network crowdsourcing technologies for the prevention of extremism among the youth in the context of interaction between the state and citizens. When determining the effectiveness of crowdsourcing network technologies, the study evaluated the projects “Cibersquad”, “MediaGuard” and “STOPTERROR”, which participated in the prevention of extremism among young people. Largely due to their promotion, the level of extremist crime in 2019-2020 was reduced (compared to 2018). The article substantiates the effectiveness of crowdsourcing network technologies and concludes that their widespread adoption can “socialize” the system of preventing extremism among the youth, provided that not only government agencies, but also constructively-minded citizens’ associations are its most important actors.

The problem of regulation of behavioral deviations in the youth environment attracts the attention of many researchers in various branches of science. Regulation of behavioral deviations means the prevention of unfavorable living conditions of adolescents, namely the elimination of factors that can cause certain negative consequences. The article reveals and analyzes the important factors that determine the criminal behavior of adolescents. In particular, such factors are singled out: uncensored propaganda of negative behavior styles that provoke adolescents to imitate «heroes» with bloody and violent behavior; the influence of families that give their children little attention from preschool age, turn a blind eye to their bad behavior, have an irresponsible attitude to the world around them and the environment, encourage their children’s whims; inconsistency of legal reform, extremes in modern judicial practice. The results of the study of predisposition to criminal behavior of adolescents are also presented. The methods chosen for the study: “Diagnosis of the tendency to overcome social norms and rules (Yu.A. Kleiberg)”, “Methods of diagnosing the tendency to deviant behavior (A.N. Orel)”, “Diagnosis of hostility (according to the Cook-Medley scale)”, “Obozov-Shchokintest to determine the degree of determination”, “A. Bass-A. Dark diagnosis of indicators and forms of aggression”. The type of social regulation of behavioral deviations such as individual prevention of juvenile delinquency is considered in detail. Its essence is purposeful work with a particular teenager and their closest people. Social workers, social educators and modern law enforcement agencies are comprehensively called to carry out this type. Individual prevention is directed at the adolescent and their negative traits, the environment that shapes them, as well as the conditions, circumstances and situations that contribute to or facilitate the commission of crimes by minors.

Modern law enforcement agencies are constantly struggling with crimes against documents. Due to increasing quality of counterfeit documents and different physicochem­ical properties of inks, such crimes are becoming harder to detect. This situation obliges forensic laboratories for the development and implementation of testing procedures with the use of some modern techniques of chemical analysis. CE opens up numerous possibilities for various analytical applications, mainly due to its numerous advantages, the diversity of its modes and the compatibility with different detection systems. This study focuses on discussing two modes of CE: CZE and MECC and three different detection systems: DAD, LIF and MS. By using them information about substances exhibiting absorption, fluorescence and about molecular mass of analyzed compound can be received. In the Laboratory for Forensic Chemistry many different coloring matters were examined, including ballpoint, fountain pen, gel and stamp pad inks in most popular colors as well as a large group of branded and off-brand printing inks.The obtained results showed the great applicability of CE-DAD method. It has been proved that LIF and MS detections improve the discriminating possibilities of CE provid­ing additional information on samples.

Abstract Syringe Services Programs (SSPs) provide sterile needles and a range of health services (e.g., HIV and HEP-C testing, overdose prevention education, provision of naloxone) to a hard-to-reach population, including people who inject drugs (PWID), aiming to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases. We performed a qualitative needs assessment of existing SSPs in the state of Colorado in 2018-2019 to describe the SSP activities, needs, and barriers. We performed semi-structured interviews with key program staff of SSPs (n=11). All interviews were digitally recorded, transcribed, and validated. Qualitative researchers coded each transcript and maintained coding consistency through coding statistics (Kappa coefficient > 0.80) between coders. Memos were written to synthesize main themes. Nearly all the SSPs discussed their relationships with law enforcement at length. All SSPs viewed having a positive relationship with law enforcement as critical to the success of their program. Main factors that influence the quality of relationships between SSPs and law enforcement included: 1) alignment in agency culture, 2) support from law enforcement leadership, 3) police officers’ participation and compliance with the Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) program, which provides intensive case management for low-level drug offenders, and 4) implementation of the “Needle-Stick Prevention Law” and Drug Paraphernalia Law Exemption. All SSPs expressed a strong desire to have positive relationships with law enforcement and described how a collaborative working relationship was critical to the success of their programs. Our findings suggest effective strategies to foster relationships between SSPs and law enforcement as well as key barriers to address.

Статья посвящена решению проблемы деструктивного влияния профессиональной деятельности сотрудников УИС на их личность, ярким выражением которого выступают такие феномены, как профессиональная деформация и эмоциональное выгорание сотрудников. Актуальность проблемы обусловливается, во-первых, обозначившейся тенденцией ухода сотрудников УИС из правоохранительных органов в целом и ведомства в частности; во-вторых, незначительным, но снижением качества выполнения сотрудниками УИС служебных обязанностей. В основе решения проблемы авторы видят психологический подход. С этой целью в начале исследования раскрыты причины возникновения профессиональной деформации и эмоционального выгорания, среди которых интенсивное общение с криминальной средой; повышенный риск, ожидание опасности; психические и физические нагрузки; повышенная ответственность; большой объем властных полномочий в условиях малоэффективного контроля; неукомплектованность кадров; смещение ценностных аспектов; дефекты развития ценностно-ориентационной, мотивационной, эмоционально-волевой сфер. Далее на основе анализа литературы, а также по результатам эмпирического исследования авторы выдвигают гипотезу о существующей корреляционной зависимости между эмоциональным выгоранием и показателями эмоционального интеллекта. На основе выводов, к которым приходят авторы в поисках путей профилактики профессиональной деформации и эмоционального выгорания, даются рекомендации, акцентирующие внимание на учете психологических особенностей личности при поведении профессионального отбора и развитии эмоционального интеллекта как фактора избегания синдрома эмоционального выгорания сотрудников УИС. The article is devoted to the solution of the problem of destructive influence of professional activity of employees on their personality, a vivid expression of which are such phenomena as professional deformation and emotional burnout of employees. The urgency of the problem is due to: first, the marked trend of departure of employees of the penal system from law enforcement agencies in General, and agencies, in particular; secondly, a slight, but a decrease in the quality of performance by employees of the penal system of professional activity. The authors analyze the psychological approach as the basis for solving the problem. In view of this, at the beginning of the study revealed the causes of professional deformation and emotional burnout, including: intensive communication with the criminal environment; increased risk, expectation of danger; mental and physical stress; increased responsibility; a large amount of power in conditions of ineffective control; understaffing; displacement of value aspects; defects in the development of value-orientation, motivational, emotional and volitional spheres. Further, based on the analysis of the literature, as well as on the results of empirical research, the authors conclude that there is a correlation between emotional burnout and indicators of emotional intelligence. On the basis of the conclusions to which authors come in search of ways of prevention of professional deformation and emotional burnout, recommendations, focuses on the account of psychological features of the person when the behavior of professional selection and development of emotional intelligence as a factor in the avoidance of burnout of employees of UIS.
