The study becomes the basis for the conclusion that the decrease in the number of crimes on household grounds was the result of decriminalization of minor crimes (beatings) and their transfer to the number of administrative offenses, which, in turn, firstly turned into effective administrative and legal household crime prevention means, including in the sphere of family-domestic relations. Secondly, this led to a decrease in the latency of offenses committed in the sphere of family-domestic relations, as well as an increase in the preventive potential laid down in the norms of administrative-tort legislation. In addition, the author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to administratively torture family quarrels (violence) as a condition for increasing the preventive potential of administrative and tort legislation in counteracting offenses committed in the field of family and domestic relations

For what was analyzed the current state of the legal framework that provides the activities of the canine units of the National Police of Ukraine (NPU), considered the historical features of the development of the canine service in the system of bodies subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA). Today, police cynologists are demonstrating tangible service results, confirming the effectiveness of cynology as a powerful tool for law enforcement agencies. However, most researchers agree on the need to improve dog training in OBC, which is the relevance of this study. As a result of the analysis, the main stages of the development of cynology were distinguished, from the beginning of its birth in the world, the formation in the domestic power structures and until it acquired a modern state. The structure of the canine units of the National Police of Ukraine is characterized.

Systematic analysis of historical sources and biographical material allowed to separate and comprehensively consider the conditions and prehistory for the development and creation of “Yermak” icebreaker. Also, the authors gave an assessment to the role of Vice Admiral Stepan Osypovych Makarov in those events, and analyzed the role of Sergei Yulyevich Witte, Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev and Pyotr Petrovich Semenov-Tian-Shansky in the preparation and implementation of the first Arctic expeditions of the “Yermak”icebreaker. In addition, the authors considered and analyzed the assessment of Vice Admiral Stepan Osypovych Makarov and his personal contribution to the results of the first Arctic expeditions of the “Yermak”icebreaker made by Baron Ferdinand von Wrangel. The first polar expeditions showed that the idea of Vice Admiral Stepan Osypovych Makarov about the icebreaker fleet was viable and required further development. It is shown that the results of the first Arctic expeditions made by “Yermak” allowed to significantly develop knowledge in various scientific fields of Arctic and Earth research, namely, topography, astronomy, meteorology, hydrology, geology, magnetism, zoology, and botany. The use of these methods and approaches to scientific research allowed to retrace the way of life and professional activity of Vice Admiral Stepan Osypovych Makarov’s systematically and critically evaluate the sources used, highlight the main points in the current state of studying the subject and the results of predecessors, specify the most promising directions of research, give a description of the previous works on this issue and clearly distinguish issues that have not yet been resolved.

The aim of this research was to examine the attitudes of police officers about some characteristics of domestic violence, with special emphasis on the implementation of the Law on the Prevention of Domestic Violence. Empirical findings were gathered by the survey encompassing 31 police officers from the Police Department in Sremska Mitrovica who have obtained certificates in accordance with the mentioned law. Following data collection, a statistic method was applied to sort, classify and process them at the level of descriptive statistics and the computer program IBM SPSS Statistics 20 was used for this purpose. This research has determined the frequency of various forms of domestic violence, structure of victims and perpetrators, as well as their mutual relations. It has pointed out the scope and some of the reasons for the existence of a dark number of domestic violence, especially in cases in which children exerted violence against parents and in which policemen were in the role of a victim or a perpetrator. The most frequent reasons have been determined for not abandoning a violent partner, recalling criminal charges or misuse of the right to report domestic violence. Given that one of the innovations in the Law on the Prevention of Domestic Violence is the implementation of urgent measures within the national legal system, frequency of their implementation is also subject matter under research. A particular part of the research is dedicated to examining the current state in terms of cooperation among the police and other competent state organs and institutions in cases of domestic violence, which could be the basis of consideration for direction and extent of its improvement.

Abstract This study explores the latest developments on the European scale of the policies and practices towards victims of crime. Due to many economic and political factors a lot of people are in movement and exposed to the risk of becoming victims of crime. During the last decade the statistics already records enhanced victimization of the global European society. These have provoked numerous legislative actions and practical initiatives in order to ensure safety, to prevent falling victims to crime and to protect better victim’s rights and needs. The European Protection Order Directive, Victims’ Directive and Convention against domestic violence, are among the most advanced legal acts worldwide. However, it is observed that their implementation in Europe is asymmetric and sometimes problematic. This paper explores the role of the national governments and specialized agencies and mainly the deficits in their activities leading to the non-usage of victims of all the existing opportunities. The newest supra-national acts aiming at the acceleration of transposition and ratification of these important for the building of victim-friendly environment documents, are discussed. Practical recommendations for a more effective victim protection are developed.
