The problems of the anti-corruption strategy, issues of elimination of criminal factors, improvement of legislation and the activities of law enforcement agencies are analyzed. Anti-corruption problems should be solved systematically in a set of integrative measures of state-political, socio-economic, national-cultural, informational, criminological, legal and moral. The priorities of the implementation of such a course are the urgent implementation of such strategic principles as DE monopolization, DE offshorization, requisition of energy security facilities, demarcation of business and power, and ensuring effective tax and customs policy. The effective mechanism against corruption is the disengagement of power and business, the elimination of factors of political corruption. It is proposed in the Law on the Prevention of Corruption, as well as in the laws regulating the status of civil servants, to enshrine the requirement of impeccable business reputation and integrity. A system of new legislation should be developed and adopted: the Code of Evidence, the Code of Law Enforcement, the Investigator Status Function Act, the Detective Status Act, the Jury and World Court Act, and the Crime Detection, Prevention and Prevention Act. It is proposed to state the disposition of the law of the Criminal Code of Ukraine on illegal enrichment in accordance with Article 20 of the UN Convention against Corruption of 31.10.2003. In particular, it is proposed to consolidate the responsibility of officials for a significant increase in assets that exceed the total assets of zero declaration and legal wages in the public service. The mechanisms of the state government should provide for the function of prosecutorial supervision over the enforcement of anti-corruption legislation in the activities of enterprises, executive authorities and local government. Systemic proposals are being made for the formation of a strategy and a comprehensive anti-corruption programed.

The article reveals the role of the prosecutor's office of Ukraine in the process and in order to ensure guarantees of the independence of judges and the authority of the judiciary. A study of the legislative framework of Ukraine proves that the role of the prosecutor's office in the process of ensuring guarantees of the independence of judges and the authority of justice is regulated by the provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine «On the Prosecutor's Office», the Law of Ukraine «On the Judicial System and the Status of Judges», the Code of Professional Ethics and Conduct of Prosecutors, the Criminal Procedure Code Of Ukraine, the Criminal Code of Ukraine, as well as other regulatory documents. It was found that the judge, performing professional activities in the direction of the administration of justice, is independent of the various influences, pressure or interference, which are illegal. The legislation of Ukraine determines that the principle of the independence of the judge indicates that the judge is not obliged to provide explanations regarding the nature and content of the cases being pending, with the exception of cases established by law. State authorities, local self- government bodies, officials and officials of these bodies, individuals and legal entities and associations of such persons should respect the independence of judges and in no case should encroach on it. It was determined that one of the principles on the basis of which the professional activities of the prosecution authorities are based is the principle of respect for the independence of judges. It has been proved that the High Council of Justice always adheres to the position of unconditionally ensuring the independence of judges and establishing this direction as a priority type of activity for law enforcement agencies, in particular, for the prosecutor's office. Fast and quality investigation of crimes related to the professional activities of judges will, first of all, contribute to the observance of constitutional law regarding the principle of access to justice.. It is noted that the prospects for further research in this direction are the study of the legal basis for the observance of the principle of the rule of law and legality by the judiciary in the context of performing professional activities.

The Commission on the Accreditation of Law Enforcement (CALEA) employs rigorous evaluation techniques. Objective accreditation, such as made possible by CALEA, is important from the public’s perspective and in the national community of law enforcement.To counteract a general distrust of law enforcement agencies, the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA) developed a grant to develop standards by which the quality and performance of law enforcement could be measured. LEAA developed 107 standards and, though well received by the law enforcement community, no single group or agency took the initiative to begin a program to evaluate and implement the standards. In 1979, the Department of Justice established an additional grant that effectively organized the four major law enforcement groups: the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the National Sheriff’s Association, the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, and the Police Executive Research Forum.

Abuse in the electronic transaction because it is formed from an electronic process, so the object changes, the goods become electronic data and the evidence is electronic.  Referring to the provisions of positive law in Indonesia, there are several laws and regulations that have set about electronic evidence as legal evidence before the court but there is still debate between the usefulness and function of the electronic evidence itself, from that background in  The following problems can be formulated, How do law enforcement from investigations, prosecutions to criminal case decisions in cybercrimes and How is the use of electronic evidence in criminal case investigations in cybercrimes This research uses normative research methods that are moving from the existence of norm conflicts between the Criminal Procedure Code and  ITE Law Number 19 Year 2016 in the use of evidence.  The law enforcement process of the investigator, the prosecution until the court's decision cannot run in accordance with the provisions of ITE Law Number 19 of 2016, because in interpreting the use of electronic evidence still refers to Article 184 paragraph (1) KUHAP of the Criminal Procedure Code stated that the evidence used  Legitimate are: witness statements, expert statements, letters, instructions and statements of the accused so that the application of the ITE Law cannot be applied effectively The conclusion of this research is that law enforcement using electronic evidence in cyber crime cannot stand alone because the application of the Act  - ITE Law Number 19 Year 2016 still refers to the Criminal Code so that the evidence that is clear before the trial still refers to article 184 paragraph (1) KUHAP of the Criminal Procedure Code and the strength of proof of electronic evidence depends on the law enforcement agencies interpreting it because all electronic evidence is classified into  in evidence in the form of objects as  so there is a need for confidence from the legal apparatus in order to determine the position and truth of the electronic evidence.   Penyalahgunaan didalam transaksi elektronik tersebut karena terbentuk dari suatu proses elektronik, sehingga objeknya pun berubah, barang menjadi data elektronik dan alat buktinya pun bersifat elektronik. Mengacu pada ketentuan hukum positif di Indonesia, ada beberapa peraturan perundang-undangan yang telah mengatur mengenai alat bukti elektronik sebagai alat bukti yang sah di muka pengadilan tetapi tetap masih ada perdebatan antara kegunaan dan fungsi dari alat bukti elektronik itu sendiri, dari latar belakang tersebut di atas dapat dirumuskan masalah sebagai berikut, Bagaimana penegakkan hukum dari penyidikan, penuntutan sampai putusan perkara pidana dalam kejahatan cyber dan Bagaimanakah penggunaan bukti elektronik dalam pemeriksaan perkara pidana dalam kejahatan cyber Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian normatif yakni beranjak dari adanya konflik norma antara KUHAP dengan Undang-undang ITE Nomor 19 Tahun 2016 dalam penggunaan alat bukti. Proses penegakkan hukum dari penyidik, penuntutan sampai pada putusan pengadilan tidak dapat berjalan sesuai dengan ketentuan Undang-undang ITE Nomor 19 Tahun 2016, karena dalam melakukan penafsiran terhadap penggunaan alat bukti Elektronik masih mengacu pada Pasal 184 ayat (1) KUHAP disebutkan bahwa alat bukti yang sah adalah: keterangan saksi, keterangan ahli, surat, petunjuk dan keterangan terdakwa. sehingga penerapan Undang-undang ITE tidak dapat diterapkan secara efektiv. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah penegakan hukum dengan menggunakan alat bukti elektronik dalam kejahatan cyber tidak bisa berdiri sendiri karena penerapan Undang-Undang ITE Nomor 19 Tahun 2016 tetap merujuk kepada KUHP sehingga alat bukti yang sah di muka persidangan tetap mengacu pada pasal 184 ayat (1) KUHAP dan Kekuatan pembuktian alat bukti elektronik tersebut tergantung dari aparat hukum dalam menafsirkannya karena semua alat bukti elektronik tersebut digolongkan ke dalam alat bukti berupa benda sebagai petunjuk sehingga diperlukan juga keyakinan dari aparat hukum agar bisa menentukan posisi dan kebenaran dari alat bukti elektronik tersebut.

The law recognizes both litigation and non-litigation settlement mechanisms, but it is almost not explicitly regulated for non-litigation settlement in criminal cases. Non-litigation in criminal recognizes the concept of restorative justice for the public interest, which is different from the private realm in civil. The concept of restorative justice exists to rehabilitate the state of criminals so that they are accepted back into the community. The concept of restorative justice is manifested in the mediation mechanism in criminal law in the form of penal mediation, but penal mediation does not yet have a legal umbrella. The non-progressive normative application of the law results in the overcapacity of prisons/remand centres. Currently, the Draft Criminal Procedure Code (hereinafter as RKUHAP) is being drafted, which does not yet regulate the application of non-litigation solutions. Later, it can be applied by law enforcement agencies so that problems such as overcapacity prisons are resolved and the creation of peaceful order in the community. This study aims to provide a view of the concept of penal mediation in criminal procedural law to serve as an aspiration for the consideration of the parties involved in the preparation of the substance of the RKUHAP. This paper uses a normative approach with technical analysis using hermeneutic analysis and interpretation methods.

The article discusses the issues of crime detection as one of the criteria for the effectiveness of the law enforcement agencies. Every year the number of undetected crimes remains at a consistently high level. This confirms the relevance of the problem under consideration and indicates the need for further developments in this direction. The authors managed to conclude that the full definition of the term “crime detection” is not presented in any legislative act, i.e. this scientific category has actually always been outside the legal field, which led to its arbitrary interpretation by individual scientists and practitioners. Also, the authors concluded that there is a close relationship between the concepts of "crime detection" and "countering detection", which was the basis of this article. The article was prepared considering foreign experience. In general, this approach allows using the effective means and methods in the fight against crime, as well as modern technologies in crime detection.

Changes to the law are a necessity in accordance with the development of society, whether one law is revised or in the form of reconstruction or deconstruction by changing all existing laws, especially in one state institution that has a special function, for example the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) must follow development? What is the Institutional and Personal Position of the KPK after the status transfer to State Civil Apparatus? How effective is the KPK in eradicating corruption after it has been reconstructed? The reconstruction of the KPK institution is expected to bring the KPK to be better, more optimal and remain a supervisory institution for other law enforcement agencies that are able to bring order and legal certainty and justice to the people of Indonesia. The change in the status of KPK employees to State Civil Apparatus is a form of generalizing KPK personnel without making distinctions like so far, so it is feared that there will be no more competition and contestation between the investigative teams who work professionally. The existence of the KPK institution is re-examined with the enactment of Law Number 19 of 2019 concerning the KPK, hopefully the stigma of the superbody institution will remain attached to the KPK will not turn into a super executive institution that works at the request of certain parties and hopefully the KPK will maintain the psychology of the people who hope that the KPK must continue to exist even if fired for doing "HONEST" and the truth.

The article analyzes criminality in the Armed Forces of Ukraine as an object of criminological research. The expediency of studying criminality in the Armed Forces of Ukraine in both broad and narrow senses is found. In the first case, the analyzed type of criminality has its general criminal nature and is represented by a set of criminal offenses, the commission of which is possible both by servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other entities. This is the so-called general criminality represented by such criminal offenses as injuries of varying severity, murders, theft, etc. In a narrow sense, criminality in the Armed Forces of Ukraine is considered as a set of relevant criminal offenses, the commission of which is possible only through the person’s presence in the status of a special entity, which in this context is a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In this case, it’s about criminal offenses against the established procedure for military service (military criminal offenses), provided in Section XIX of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The concept of “crime prevention in the Armed Forces of Ukraine” is scientifically substantiated and defines as a set of special organizational, administrative, criminal law, criminal procedural, criminal-executive and operative-search measures of specially authorized units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in cooperation with law enforcement agencies on prevention and cessation of criminal-illegal encroachments regarding the established order of military service, economic, violent, mercenary-violent (etc) orientation in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which are carried out on the basis of constitutional and special-branch norms and principles concerning defined groups or individually defined persons, methods and means provided by the current legislation. Key words: Armed Forces of Ukraine, military servicemen, criminological research, criminality, determinants, prevention.

In the article the author examines the issues related to the improvement of legislation in the functioning of law enforcement agencies, in particular that on their counteraction to organized drug crime. We are talking about the amendment to Article 146 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, according to which criminal proceedings on crimes under Articles 228.1 and 228.4 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on the fact of illegal drugs dealing cannot be initiated in the absence of data on the type, weight and name of drugs, as well as sufficient evidence indicating their transfer to other persons. The law-in-draft is aimed, on the one hand, at protecting citizens, on the other – at increasing the exactingness to law enforcement agencies at the initial stage of criminal – proceedings related to drug crime. The grounds for instituting a criminal proceeding for illegal drug dealing should be the facts of drug transfer to another person, as well as an expert opinion determining their mass, type and name.

Currently, the problem of domestic violence is quite urgent due to the annually increasing number of victims. Besides the increased attention from the legislation to this issue, the public itself is anxious about the existing situation: victims of domestic violence are treated disrespectfully as they either excessively draw attention to the situation that has arisen, or they are blamed for a late appeal to the law enforcement authorities. The paper defines the concept of domestic violence, specifies character traits of a person committing domestic violence as well as of a potential victim. Based on the analysis of litigation practice, the authors conclude on the absence of a unified approach to the definition of crime and the existence of gaps when punishing the third episode of a committed socially dangerous act. The analysis of data of the World Bank annual research “Women, Business and the Law” and the RF Ministry of Internal Affairs on domestic violence in the Russian Federation confirmed the existence of an acute problem, which remains unsolved on the legislative level for the rather long period. Within the current research, the authors propose introducing a new domestic violence body of evidence to the RF Criminal Code, whereby domestic violence should be considered willful damage for the life and health of a person being in the family, personal, or household relations. Specified innovations will allow significantly facilitating the work of law enforcement authorities and courts when classifying the acts and imposing a just punishment through the introduction of classified types of domestic violence when implementing the protection of rights of victims.
