Professional sports activities are always closely associated with numerous risks (risk of injury or even death of the athlete, the risk of using illicit drugs - doping, aleatory (risky) activities - bookmakers, sweepstakes, etc.). It is a direct violation of the Constitution of Ukraine, which proclaims the inalienable right of every person to life (Article 27) and recognizes it as the highest social value (Part 1, Article 3). Constitutional law, as the basic law, regulates social relations in all spheres of society. Accuracy, understanding, logic, consistency of legal norms - the main principles of constitutional rule-making, which not only prevent violations of rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of individuals and citizens, but also require careful study and detailed discussion of all bills in scientific and professional environment. Instead, in jurisprudence, the risk is one of the least studied legal categories, which does not take into account the realities of today and does not meet the requirements of modern society. The purpose of the article is to review and constitutional and legal analysis of the problem of risk in professional sports. The concept of risk in law is studied. The concept of "sports risk" as a kind of social risk is analyzed; its features are clarified, the subject, object and subject are specified. The classification of sports risks is considered. Particular attention is paid to the use of doping as one of the most common risk factors in the field of professional sports today. The need to immediately resolve the problem of risks on the level of the newly adopted Law of Ukraine "On Professional Sports" was emphasized. The expediency of establishing criminal liability for doping and any actions related to it (storage, manufacture, sale, transportation, etc.) is substantiated. Only in this case, the problem of risks in professional sports in general, and doping in particular, can be successfully solved.

The article explores ways to overcome corruption and corruption in Ukraine through the prism of criminal law analysis. It was found that preventing and combating corruption is not only important but also a rather complex process of building a modern legal socially oriented state, due to the dynamism and multi-vector nature of social relations, as well as the constant improvement of forms and methods of criminal activity. The criminogenic situation that has developed in the last decade in Ukraine is characterized, in particular, by the unprecedented spread of corruption. It is determined that the effective fight against corruption requires a scientific concept of its prevention. One of the main principles of such a concept should be the understanding of corruption as a socially conditioned phenomenon. Based on this, it is necessary to develop a strategy and tactics to combat it, set appropriate goals, determine the means to achieve them, the level of material, financial, organizational and legal support. In addition, it is important and necessary to understand that the spread of corruption and the commission of acts of corruption is criminal, in connection with which it is possible to study ways to overcome corruption through the prism of criminal law, which determines the relevance of the study. It is concluded that in order to improve anti-corruption activities, it is necessary, first, to improve the current legislation (including the adoption of a scientifically sound package of anti-corruption legislation); secondly, full use of positive foreign experience in combating corruption; third, involvement of broad sections of the population and public institutions in anti-corruption programs; fourth, improving anti-corruption prevention activities. Keywords: corruption, corruption manifestations, corruption risks, criminal law, criminal liability, criminal-legal analysis, corruption, civil servants, corruption crimes

The effectiveness of legal influence on relations in modern society is determined along with other factors and the perfection of legal terminology used in regulations. The need to improve the quality of legal activity in Ukraine necessitates the study of the regulatory possibilities of legal terms, among which a special place is occupied by formally indefinite terms that cause formal uncertainty of legal norms. The use of formally indefinite terms in legal norms and the issue of legal influence in the domestic literature are not specifically considered, respectively, need further study to formulate certain scientific generalizations and practical recommendations that can be used to improve the legal regulation of public relations in Ukraine. The author proposes to consider the valuation concepts as enshrined in the legal norm abstract characteristics of the social significance of real or potential facts. It must be specified during its application or implementation. This ensures the legal response of the state to all individualized facts, which are characterized by the significance fixed in the legal norm. In addition, the specific features of intermediate concepts that distinguish them from the evaluative and formally defined are highlighted. Analyzing them, the author concludes that the categories of "legal regulation" and "legal influence" are correlated as general and specific, and the boundary separating them is quite conditional. Noting the inseparability of legal influence and legal regulation, the author points out that at the same time does not deprive them of differences. The subject of legal regulation is somewhat narrower than the subject of legal influence. The latter includes such economic, political and social relations, which are not regulated by law, but to which they in one way or another extend their influence. If legal regulation, as a special legal influence, in any case is associated with the establishment of specific rights and obligations of subjects, with direct instructions about what is necessary and possible, the legal influence is not always. The relationship, unity and separation of legal influence and legal regulation suggest the need for a generalized approach to these legal phenomena. This position is confirmed by the author, focusing on formally vague norms, in particular those that contain intermediate concepts. Such concepts have a special ability to act as a means of legal influence, both related and unrelated to legal regulation. This ability stems from the properties of intermediate concepts, primarily from the ability to be a means and source (and this is the influence) of legal regulation. Summing up, the author notes that one of the means of legal influence, which accompanies legal regulation and is not directly related to it, are formally vague, in particular, intermediate (semi-valued) concepts. The study of this category of legal terms, their place and role in legal techniques, the ability to regulate public relations and influence them is one of the ways to determine ways to improve the legal regulation of social relations in the modern state.


Information and telecommunication technologies have radically changed all social relations. This required corresponding changes in the information legislation. System of legal norms regulating information relations has been updated and increased. However, this changes did not improve legal regulation of information relations. Scientists emphasize that imperfection of information legislation depends on inadequacy of legal norms. Legal scholarship discover different defects of legal norms: antilogy, deficiency of law, inadequacy in logic, duplications and declarativity of norms. Legislation on information dissemination is also characterized by these defects. They entailed problems of application by the courts. Scientific immaturity of legal regulation of information relations is noted. The necessity for creating special legal act, which will regulate relations on information dissemination, is justified.

It is regulated by the Basic Law of our state and no wonder the legislator placed this object of encroachment in the first sections of the Criminal Code of Ukraine after such as the basics of national security, life and health, will, honor and dignity of the person.
