The range of problems involves methodo-logical, statistical, forensic, and psychological aspects. The subject of the research was a complex of biographical facts, bearing a possibility of interpretation of personal properties of their bearer. Regularities were revealed in relation to a personality of the person abusing his office. The study used the following general scientific methods: analysis, synthesis, system-structural. The following specific scientific methods were used in the study: modelling, statis-tical analysis, comparative-historical, expert assessment. The analysis was carried out by recording data on the defendants' employment activities related to the commission of the offence for which Article 285 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation establishes liability. Among the persons examined, military personnel made up the smallest percentage of defendants, while among public sector employees almost half were employed in the education sector. The article reached a number of conclusions as follows. The development of a criminalistic characteristic of the personality of a person who abuses his powers from the perspective of biographical analysis, it is advisable to begin with the identification of groups of biographical facts that have a pronounced correlation with the predisposition to commit crimes of this type. It is not an unconditional predisposition of persons to commit this type of crime if their biography contains, to a large extent, biographical facts that are interrelated with a predisposi-tion to abuse their position in office. It is necessary to speak about the existence of such a relationship, which has the potential to form tendencies, but at the same time, it is not absolute. The final conclusion is that the biographical analysis reveals a number of biographical facts that have a strong correlation with a predisposition to abuse of power. The information obtained will make it possible to know in advance, at the initial stage of the investigation, a number of typical personality traits of the defendant and to have an idea of other sources of information about him. The information obtained will also make it possible, when planning the investigation of the type of crime in question, to rely on the psychological characteristics already known about the personality of the accused, on the basis of which investigative tactics, such as questioning, confrontation, search, etc., can be developed.

The article reveals a complex of problems of using the method of biographical analysis in studies of the personality of the accused. The range of problems involves criminal, criminal procedure, tactical and criminalistic aspects. The object of the research was the prospects for using the typological approach in the theory and practice of forensic modeling of personality. The study is based on the following general scientific methods: analysis, synthesis, system-structural. The study also employs the following specific scientific methods: biographical analysis, statistical analysis, expert assessment. The following conclusions are made in the article. The accentuated type is determined primarily genetically, the accused acquires it from birth. The type determines the form of adaptation in the environment and in society. The biological parameters of the personality of the accused are closely related to the character accentuation. The latter best manifests itself at the stage of direct investigative actions, including their repeated conduct, and determines the effectiveness of methods of psychological influence. The stratum the accused belongs to is determined by society: growing up, the accused socializes and gains access to certain social clusters, which in total characterize the stratum and determine the social connections and personal potential of the accused. The social characteristics of the personality of the accused are closely related to the social stratum the accused belongs to. The stratum best manifests itself at the preparatory stages of investigative actions and determines the range of sources of information about the accused. The psychological attitude is due to adaptation in the process of growing up; it is closely related to the mechanisms of mental defense and is a source of motivation for all actions, decisions and choices throughout life. Individual psychological personality traits are closely related to the psychological attitude and mechanisms of mental defense. They best manifest themselves at the initial stage of the investigative action and determine the specifics of establishing psychological contact during the first interrogation. Despite the fact that the division of all biographical information about the personality of the accused is rather conditional and the use of three typologies at the level of the model of the personality of the accused is equally conditional, the use of at least this number of typologies seems reasonable at the initial stage of research at this level.

The object of the study is the implementation of equality principle before the law by fixing equal rights and obligations of prisoners in the normative legal acts of the Soviet state. The subject of research: provisions of normative legal acts of the Provisional Government, departmental normative acts of the People’s Commissariat of Justice of the RSFSR and People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs of the RSFSR. As a methodological basis for cognition, general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, de-duction are used, which allow us to investigate aspects of legal reality directly related to the implementation of the principles of penal enforcement (correctional labor) legislation, to formulate reasonable conclusions. Private scientific methods: formal-legal and comparative-legal – allow us to identify differences in the legal regulation of the legal status of prisoners in the pre-war period. As a result of the conducted research, we make a reasonable conclusion that the principle of equality before the law, although it was not enshrined in specific norms regulating the procedure for the execution and serving of imprisonment, however, was manifested in the provisions regulating the legal status of persons deprived of liberty. The notions of equality before the law of both citizens in general and prisoners in particular were not the fundamental basis of the legislation of the Soviet State. Prisoners were differentiated on the basis of social affiliation, due to: 1) the principle of class approach proclaimed by the Constitution of the RSFSR; 2) the functioning of two systems of places of deprivation of liberty for prisoners with different social status; 3) regulating the execution (serving) of sentences in the form of deprivation of liberty by various regulatory legal acts.

The category of criminal law impact is currently being actively studied in the domestic legal science for the relationship with the content of the categories of criminal punishment, other measures of a criminal law nature, criminal liability. In the presented study, the problem of determining the types of criminal law influence and the peculiarities of their implementation, depending on the presence or absence of certain legally significant features, is posed. Given the stated problems, the subject of the study is determined in the form of criminal law norms that enshrine deprivation and legal restrictions that apply to persons who have committed a socially dangerous act prohibited by criminal law. The application in the process of research of a combination of general scientific and private scientific methods allowed us to formulate the final conclusion that the criminal legal effect is realized as a result of the application of criminal liability measures and other measures of a criminal legal nature. Criminal liability is realized on general and preferential terms. The basis for the use of the latter is the fact of positive post-criminal behavior, which significantly reduces the social danger of the perpetrator.

The system of philosophical, general scientific and specific scientific methods and approaches, which have provided objective analysis of the subject under consideration, in particular, the method of systemic and structural analysis, specific sociological, statistical, comparative, formal-logical methods. Findings. Shortcomings of the criminal law provision on illegal mining, sale, acquisition, storage, transfer, shipment, transportation and processing of amber, in particular, unjustified expansion of the criminal law prohibition under consideration, unsuccessful design of the main and qualified components of the criminal offense under review, as well as unjustified sanctions. Originality. The authors have been among the first researchers in the domestic criminal law doctrine to provide a comprehensive critical understanding of the provision dedicated to the regulation of criminal liability for illegal amber mining, which has made it possible to develop scientifically based recommendations for improving domestic criminal law. Practical value. Based on the research results, specific proposals addressed to domestic parliamentarians have been developed, which can be taken into account in the process of further lawmaking in terms of updating relevant provisions of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. It is argued that the improved Art. 240-1 should only cover illegal mining of amber. The main structure of the researched criminal offense is proposed to be designed as material. It has been proven, including through references to specific law enforcement materials, that sanctions of Part1 of Art. 240-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine should provide for a fine as the only non-alternative main type of punishment, while referenced to alternative punishments in the form of a fine and imprisonment should be included in Parts 2 and 3.

The subjects of the study are the problems that arise at the initial stage of the investigation of street fraud, the study is the individual problems of pre-trial investigation of street fraud and the ways of their solution. The study aims to highlight the most common problems in practice at the initial stage of the investigation of this group of fraud, and presents recommendations for their solution. In the course of time, general scientific methods of cognition were used. The relevance of the research topic is that the main problems of investigators arise at the stage of the decision to open criminal proceedings. Difficulties are related to the fact that the investigator needs to take a key procedural decision based on the analysis of very limited information about the event. In addition, in the context of open criminal proceedings, it is very difficult to form a system of evidence of the existence of a criminal intention in the actions of a fraudsters. Indeed, unlike other crimes, they are reflected not so much in material traces as in acts of intellectual nature: the reporting of false information, the use of fictitious documents, specific attributes, and many others. Gathering evidence of such an order requires an extraordinary level of professionalism. The investigator should not only have a high level of knowledge of the existing criminal and criminal procedural legislation, but also be aware of ways to overcome the main difficulties encountered in criminal proceedings on fraud. The novelty of the results is that the research in this direction was conducted for the first time. The main results of the study are given a number of typical problems of investigation of street fraud, as well as recommendations for their overcoming. The results of the study can be used in the field of the criminal law cycle. The practical significance lies in the possibility of introducing the results of the research into the educational process in the presentation of the discipline “The method of investigation of crimes”, special courses, as well as in raising the skills of practical police officers. As a result of the study, conclusions were drawn in the form of concrete proposals for addressing typical problems arising in the investigation of street fraud.
