Due to the deterioration of modern family and domestic crime indicators against the background of the ongoing social crisis caused by the pandemic of a new coronavirus infection, there is a need for additional study of factors affecting the occurrence and dynamics of family and domestic crimes in order to determine modern ways to prevent such manifestations and minimize their socially dangerous consequences. Based on the analysis of the current state of crime in the context of family and domesticrelations, the article formulates approaches to the problems of prevention of domestic violence. Special attention should be paid to the problems of preventing domestic crimes not only by legal but also by societywide measures aimed at weakening and neutralizing the causes and conditions of criminalization of the modern family and domestic relations in general at the current stage of the development of society. The article substantiates the need to improve the main directions of countering modern crimes in the sphere of domestic relations, as well as to improve the forms and methods of activities of public organizations and law enforcement agencies, including Internal Affairs Bodies, especially district police commissioners, aimed at preventing family and domestic crimes and minimizing their consequences.

Sexual assault is a violent crime that traumatizes individual victims and endangers entire communities. Every victim of sexual assault deserves an opportunity for justice and access to the resources they need to recover from this trauma. In addition, many perpetrators of sexual assaults are serial offenders who also commit other violent crimes, including armed robberies, aggravated assaults, burglary, domestic violence, and homicides, against strangers and acquaintances. Criminal justice agencies have the power to create a strategic, sustainable plan for an improved response to sexual assault that aligns with current best practices and national recommendations. In this document, we define an “improved response” as an approach that supports effective investigation and prosecution of sexual assault cases, holds perpetrators accountable, and promotes healing and recovery for victims of sexual assault. This guide will help prosecutor and law enforcement agencies create a process with milestones, goals, and suggested actions, all designed to support a successful and sustainable approach for addressing sexual assault cases. Improving the criminal justice system’s response to sexual assault ultimately improves public safety and promotes trust between criminal justice agencies and the communities they serve.

In New Jersey, collaboration between police departments and advocates from domestic violence organizations is mandated by state policy, which requires law enforcement agencies to participate in domestic violence response teams (DVRTs). The purpose of this study is to examine factors that motivate police officers to implement DVRT. Twenty-four semi-structured interviews were conducted with DVRT coordinators and domestic violence liaison police officers. Findings suggest that police motivation for implementing the intervention is often influenced by perceived benefits to police response and investigation, perceived benefits to victims, the need to comply with mandates, and recognition of domestic violence as a serious crime.

В работе рассматриваются результаты авторского социологического исследования, проведённого в мае 2021 г. Опрос был проведен среди студентов, обучающихся в медицинском институте ФГБОУ ВО «Майкопский государственный технологический университет» («МГТУ»), с целью изучения отношения студенческой молодежи к необходимости соблюдения мер профилактики коронавирусной инфекции, а также к вакцинации населения и отношения к ним студентов медицинских специальностей в период локдауна и после него. Результаты проведённого исследования показали высокую степень ответственности студентов - будущих медиков за своё здоровье и здоровье окружающих. В то же время часть опрошенных демонстрировала в этот период нигилизм по отношению к мерам профилактики COVID-19. Вместе с тем участники опроса продемонстрировали высокий уровень толерантности по отношению к студентам - гражданам других государств, обучающимся вместе с ними. Ответы студентов медицинских специальностей на вопросы анкеты показывают понимание параметрики, смысла и содержания ограничений, введённых в период пандемии, и необходимости соблюдения жителями региона мер, рекомендованных Роспотребнадзором для профилактики и нераспространения коронавирусной инфекции. The work examines the results of the author's sociological study conducted in May 2021. The survey was conducted among students learning at the Medical Institute of the Maykop State University of Technology in order to study the attitude of students to the need to comply with measures to prevent coronavirus infection, as well as to vaccinate the population and the attitude of medical students to them during the lockdown period and after it. The results of the study showed a high degree of responsibility of students - future medical experts for their health and that of others. At the same time, some respondents demonstrated nihilism towards COVID-19 prevention measures during this period. At the same time, the survey participants showed a high level of tolerance towards students - citizens of other states studying with them. The answers of medical students to the questions of the questionnaire show an understanding of the parameters, meaning and content of the restrictions introduced during the pandemic, and the need for residents of the region to comply with the measures recommended by Rospotrebnadzor for the prevention and non-proliferation of coronavirus infection.

The article highlights that the systematization of legislation is an essential measure on the path to European integration of our country, as well as that the systematization allows improving and streamlining legislation for ease of application and effective implementation in practice. The article reveals that the role of systematization of legislation is to create all the necessary conditions for its further development, to get rid of gaps and shortcomings in it and to ensure its internal unity. The article clarifies that the systematization of legislation creates opportunities to quickly find and correctly interpret all the necessary regulations, which provides a purposeful and effective legal education of society. 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.

There have been profound social transformations in Portugal in the last 50 years. Portugal currently adheres to the international and European agenda to prevent domestic violence. In the chapter the Portuguese legislation and the reporting figures regarding domestic violence, the role of the Law Enforcement Agencies, other first responder agencies, and pertinent stakeholders in responding to high impact domestic violence, as well as the National Network for the Support of Victims of Domestic Violence, are addressed. The authors also discuss good practices and significant challenges. Two of these are intertwined – none of them is quickly addressed, nor can they be addressed by themselves. One is developing a collective attitude that considers domestic violence as unacceptable behaviour, besides being punished by the criminal law. The other is directly posed to the law enforcement agencies and has to do with the increasing complexity of the operational procedures (derived from the new tools presented by the government recently). The problem of elites provoking social change on a superlative level is to forget that adopting new social models is not achieved by decree but through social influence processes, which takes time.

The article analyses the features of the application of the current criminal procedural legislation in practice in the context of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) after recognizing it as a disease that poses a danger to others, the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of April 08, 2020 and Reviews on certain issues of judicial practice related to the application of legislation and measures to counter the spread of the new coronavirus infection in the Russian Federation of April 21, 2020 and April 30, 2020. However, the difficulties that have arisen in law enforcement practice, also assessed in the article, indicate that criminal procedural legislation will be adjusted in the near future since the number of Decisions of the Presidium and the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation are not sufficient to eliminate ambiguities and contradictions in the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation. In particular, the article reflects such key problems as the emerging system of procedural decisions at the pre-trial and trial stages in a pandemic, the possibility of considering not only criminal cases but also case materials using videoconferencing systems as well as the prevailing and optimal understanding by law enforcement agencies of the category “urgency” of such consideration. The authors pay special attention to the absence in the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation of the concepts introduced by paragraph “m” Art. 7 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation such as “information technologies” and “digital data turnover”. The results of the study make it possible to formulate proposals for improving criminal procedural regulation in terms of the described problems.

The article analyzes the current state of legal support of quarantine requirements and sanitary rules and regulations for the prevention of infectious diseases in foreign countries and Ukraine. To achieve this goal, an analysis of the current legislation of some foreign countries and Ukraine on the grounds for establishing liability for violation of quarantine and sanitary norms and rules. It has been established that the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the governments of different states to introduce administrative and criminal liability in case of violation of quarantine and sanitary norms and rules. To ensure these measures, penalties for non-compliance with the quarantine regime have been introduced, with penalties ranging from warning to imprisonment and even the death penalty. It is established that in Ukraine the issues of administrative and criminal liability for violation of quarantine and sanitary rules and regulations for the prevention of infectious diseases are regulated by Articles 42, 44-3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses and Article 325 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. It is determined that one of the problems of ineffective application of Articles 44-3, 42 3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses and Article 325 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is an array of new rules for the prevention of COVID-19, which is constantly changing and introduced by various law enforcement agencies. The study found that despite the adoption of regulations that established liability for violations of statutory rules and regulations introduced by both foreign countries and Ukraine to prevent COVID-19, they have a number of legal conflicts, inconsistencies and gaps.
