Key Features

The purpose of the article is to define corruption, determine its specific features and work out the methods of counteracting this negative phenomenon. Methods of combating corruption offences in the sphere of public authorities are an urgent topic for both Russian and foreign researchers. The authors analyze a number of normative legal acts that contain definitions of corruption and list its key features. They discuss effective methods of combating corruption in the work of public authority bodies. They also examine dominant views of foreign legal scholars on the typical manifestations of corruption. The authors present two methods of counteracting this negative phenomenon: prosecution of guilty persons; building a system of prevention measures that will reduce the frequency of corruption offences. The novelty of this research consists in showing the importance of improving the measures of prevention, strengthening the incentives and ensuring the optimization of restrictions to improve discipline, law and order in the work of public authorities. The article widens the understanding of the effectiveness of monitoring and other measures of counteracting corruption, including the cooperation with the institutions of civil society. The authors speak of the special importance of moral principles (honesty, integrity, etc.) in combating corruption, especially in the work of law enforcement bodies. They conclude that at present corruption counteraction in the work of public authorities is not systemic; also that it is necessary to introduce a legislative regulation of legally important procedures in the work of public authorities and increase their transparency, providing opportunities for control by other bodies of power and by the civil society. The clauses and conclusions of the article could be used in future research aimed at developing effective measures to combat corruption in the work of public authorities.

Crime And Punishment

Popular documentary representations of crime and punishment have traditionally tended to fall into two camps: programs that are critical of law enforcement agencies and those that are sympathetic to them. In this article, we show how programs that present themselves as critical of legal authorities can nonetheless reinforce the “law and order punitivism” that underlay the ratcheting up of harsh punishment in the late 20th century. In a case study of the popular documentary miniseries Making a Murderer, we show how this can happen when texts fetishize the question of a criminal defendant’s innocence, adopt a “good versus evil” approach to players in the criminal justice system, and perpetuate a procedural rather than substantive vision of justice. Arguments are supported by a close reading of Making a Murderer and illustrated by a line of discussion it inspired in an internet forum.

To study the barriers of narcotic arrest-conviction rates, 255 narcotic officers were surveyed. It was argued that in-service training and advanced education among narcotic law enforcement officers was the major factor influencing narcotic arrest-conviction rates. While the data showed the hypothesis was supported, it showed that a lack of cooperation between law enforcement agencies, inadequate equipment/technology, and inexperienced prosecutors were greater predictors of arrest-conviction rates than well trained, educated officers. One implication of these findings is that the very nature of narcotic enforcement fosters a contradiction of law and order producing officer alienation. Further, narcotic officers fail to view themselves as part of a larger social structure furthering the sociological imagination perspective. One recommendation is that a state narcotic agency outside local jurisdiction be created to enforce all drug violations. Further research should be conducted concerning narcotic officer corruption and the war on drugs.

Systematization of legislation becomes important in reviewing the sources of law, orientation in the system of legislation, for the adoption of new regulations by law enforcement agencies in coordination with all regulations, addressing obsolete acts and finding the most effective means of regulatory regulation of public relations. In the article, the systematization of legislation should be understood as a set of organizational and legal actions defined by the current legislation of Ukraine, which is carried out by authorized public authorities to bring existing regulations into a single internally coordinated system that improves overall efficiency. Systematization is a process of organizing individual elements, creating the right conditions for them to cooperate and interact with each other. Systematization is one of the main factors of purposeful and effective legal education (formation of legal awareness) and research in the field of student education.
