The legal vacuum associated with in absentia examinations can benefit corruptors. Unprofessional law enforcement officers can help the suspect by providing opportunities or facilities for the suspect to escape in order to suspend the investigation. In the event where the investigation is suspended for this reason, then there would be no legal certainty and fairness in the effort to recover the financial loss of the State. Article 38 of the PTPK Law only applies in the examination of cases without the presence of the defendant in the trial. In Absentia is a suspect or defendant whose whereabouts is not known, does not present for the examination of the case or whom cannot be forced to be present in the trial. The general philosophy of in absentia examination in corruption cases is that criminal acts of corruption are not justified, as they result in detrimental loss of the country's finances or economy. In the essence, in absentia examination is an effort to eradicate corruption in a serious or extraordinary manner because corruption is a serious crime and as an effort to recover the country's financial and economy loss.

The research was conducted on the basis of the method of system analysis and generalization of information obtained during the survey conducted by different categories of law enforcement officers who carry out pre-trial investigation of the said crimes, as well as reports from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, the National Police of Ukraine, National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, etc. for 2016-2019. The most relevant motives and methods of committing corruption crimes were analyzed and found that bribery and corruption were the first among economic crimes, and the increase in the number of these crimes was facilitated by the high corruption of state bodies in various spheres of public life. The key issues that will reduce the level of corruption in the state are outlined.

In antebellum America, as in pre-industrial England, it was commonplace to witness civilians accompanying sheriffs and justices, scouring the countryside in search of scoundrels, scalawags, and other law-breakers. These civilians were the posse comitatus, or uncompensated, temporarily deputized citizens assisting law enforcement officers. At its core, the posse comitatus was a compulsory institution. Prior to the advent of centralized police forces, sheriffs and others compelled citizens to serve “in the name of the state” to execute arrests, level public nuisances, and keep the peace, “upon pain of fine and imprisonment.” Despite its coercive character, though, the posse was widely understood as one among many compulsory duties that protected the “public welfare.” Americans heeded the call to serve in local posses, explained jurist Edward Livingston, because of communal “ties of property, of family, of love of country and of liberty.” Such civic obligations, wrote Alexis de Tocqueville in 1835, illustrated why Americans had such a pressing “interest in … arresting the guilty man.” At once coercive and communitarian, lamented Henry David Thoreau, the posse comitatus exemplified how those that “serve the state … with their bodies,” were “commonly esteemed good citizens.”

No intuito de minimizar a insegurança jurídica e a falta de isonomia trazida pelas decisões judiciais conflitantes sobre a mesma matéria, foi editada a Súmula Vinculante nº 10, que obriga a reserva de plenário mesmo quando o pronunciamento proferido por órgão fracionário de tribunal não reconhecer a inconstitucionalidade da norma expressamente. Mas, esta súmula perderá a sua finalidade se não houver um critério para assegurar que seja aplicada ao mesmo fato que lhe deu origem. Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa é buscar, na cultura da “common law”, critérios da “ratio decidendi” que gerem maior confiabilidade na aplicação da referida súmula, além de propor uma nova redação. Será usada a pesquisa doutrinária e jurisprudencial, inclusive originária da cultura da “common law”. É esperado chamar atenção dos juristas para a importância do debate sobre a necessidade de maior segurança jurídica e igualdade, notadamente, por meio da aplicação da Súmula Vinculante nº 10. Abstract In order to minimize legal uncertainty and the lack of equality brought about by conflicting court decisions on the same matter was issued Binding Precedent nº 10, which requires the reservation plenum even when the speech given by fractional referring court does not recognize the unconstitutionality of the norm explicitly. But, this summary will lose its purpose if there is no criteria to ensure that it is applied to the same facts that gave rise. The objective of this research is to look at the culture of "common law" criteria "ratio decidendi" that generate greater confidence in applying that precedent, as well as propose a new wording. Doctrinal and jurisprudential research, including original culture of "common law" will be used. It is expected to draw the attention of law enforcement officers to the importance of the debate on the need for greater legal certainty and equality, notably through the implementation of Binding Precedent nº 10.

The purpose of this research is to describe the related authority possessed by the BPK and BPKP in determining state financial losses so that the judges who handle cases of corruption can use calculations from the institutions that have been mandated by the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia in determining state financial losses in order to achieve legal certainty. The dualism of institutions in determining state financial losses results in overlapping powers which have an impact on the credibility of these institutions. This certainly affects practice in the field, one of which is legal certainty that is not guaranteed in implementing law enforcement against corruption, it is very possible that every agency that calculates losses incurred by the state uses different calculation techniques, and in the end, the reports given are also different. so that it can affect the performance of law enforcement agencies in dealing with allegations of corruption. The author uses the normative legal method in this research, through two kinds of approaches, namely statutory and conceptual. The results showed that the BPK authority as an independent institution to measure and determine state losses, whether committed by individuals or legal entities, while the BPKP authority as an institution under the president has the duty to ensure that the management of government state finances in the sense of the executive is good, so that the panel of judges handling criminal acts of corruption uses calculations from the national institution, namely the BPK which is mandated by the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk Menjabarkan terkait kewenangan yang dimiliki BPK dan BPKP dalam menentukan kerugian keuangan negara sehingga majelis hakim yang menangani kasus tindak pidana korupsi dapat menggunakan perhitungan dari Lembaga yang telah diamanatkan oleh UUD NRI 1945 dalam menentukan kerugian keuangan negara agar tercapainya kepastian hukum. Dualisme institusi dalam menentukan kerugian keuangan negara menghasilkan kekuasaan yang tumpang tindih yang berdampak pada kredibilitas institusi ini. Hal ini tentu mempengaruhi praktek di lapangan, salah satunya kepastian hukum yang tidak terjamin dalam menerapkan penegakan hukum terhadap tindak pidana korupsi, sangat memungkinkan bahwa setiap lembaga yang menghitung kerugian yang ditimbulkan negara menggunakan teknik penghitungan tidak sama, dan pada akhirnya, laporan yang diberikan juga berbeda sehingga dapat mempengaruhi kinerja lembaga penegak hukum dalam menangani tuduhan korupsi. Metode hukum normatif digunakan penulis dalam riset ini, melalui dua macam pendekatan yaitu perundang-undangan dan konseptual. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa otoritas BPK selaku lembaga bersifat independen untuk mengukur dan menentukan kerugian negara baik yang dilakukan oleh seseorang ataupun badan hukum, sementara otoritas BPKP sebagai institusi yang berada di bawah  presiden yang bertugas untuk memastikan bahwa pengelolaan keuangan negara pemerintah dalam arti eksekutif sudah baik, sehingga majelis hakim yang menangani tindak pidana korupsi menggunakan perhitungan dari Lembaga nasional yaitu BPK yang diberikan amanat dari UUD NRI 1945.

The purpose of the paper is to show how actively and effectively the mechanism of analogy of law is used in modern practice of applying civil legislation. Based on the analysis of judicial acts in specific cases, the author substantiates the conclusion concerning the regularity of the expansion of the application of the analogy of law in judicial practice. The importance of using this mechanism to ensure the absence of gaps in law is demonstrated not only for the administration of justice, but also for effective civil law regulation of the continuously developing economic relations of organizationally and property-separated enterprising participants (subjects). The author substantiates a new view on the correlation between the increase in the volume and detail of the normative material and the level of civil legal certainty and with the degree of demand for the analogy of law in the activities of law enforcement officers. It is proposed to keep selecting and examining specific examples of the use of the analogy of law in the resolution of civil disputes in order to provide generalizations and explanations of the practice of direct application of the principles of civil legislation at the level of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.

The article substantiates the expediency of considering “anti-corruption restrictions” in relation to persons authorized to perform the functions of the state or local self-government in the aspect of compliance with the requirements of legal certainty in the use of their resource. Legal certainty (juridical security) is considered as an integral component of the rule of law, which combines the “substantive” (“quality” of the regulatory framework for using the resource of “anti-corruption” restrictions) and “procedural” (“quality” of law enforcement with respect to relevant restrictions) components that only collectively shape the phenomenon of legal certainty of “anti-corruption” restrictions. We consider appropriate to use a “broad” approach to understanding the legal certainty of “anti-corruption” restrictions, which combines the “substantive” and “procedural” legal certainty of corresponding restrictions, and enhancing the “quality” of anti-corruption legislation in terms of defining “anti-corruption” restrictions and the “quality” of its application practice makes it possible to increase the effectiveness of these restrictions as an anti-corruption “tool”. The “defects” of the “substantive” and “procedural” legal certainty of domestic “anti-corruption” restrictions are distinguished and compared with the “quality” of the corresponding components of the legal certainty of “anti-corruption” restrictions in foreign countries. Specific proposals are formulated to improve the “quality” of anti-corruption legislation in terms of fixing “anti-corruption” restrictions, the “quality” of anti-corruption enforcement practices (in terms of the terminological framework, the use of valuation concepts, techniques and technologies of anti-corruption rulemaking in the part of “anti-corruption” restrictions, law enforcement unification). The article substantiates the expediency of prudent borrowing of positive, tested by time and practice foreign experience of anti-corruption rulemaking and anti-corruption enforcement in the use of the resource of “anti-corruption” restrictions (minimization of evaluation provisions, extended conceptual series, duplication of criteria for determining limits of restrictions, minimization of blanket and referral standards, clarity and transparency of regulations, thematic generalizations of law enforcement practices) by which it is possible to ensure compliance of the “quality” of legal certainty of “anti-corruption” restrictions in Ukraine with international legal standards, consistency with foreign analogues as an effective anti-corruption “tool”.
