The Impact

Data collected in criminal investigations may suffer from issues like: (i) incompleteness, due to the covert nature of criminal organizations; (ii) incorrectness, caused by either unintentional data collection errors or intentional deception by criminals; (iii) inconsistency, when the same information is collected into law enforcement databases multiple times, or in different formats. In this paper we analyze nine real criminal networks of different nature (i.e., Mafia networks, criminal street gangs and terrorist organizations) in order to quantify the impact of incomplete data, and to determine which network type is most affected by it. The networks are firstly pruned using two specific methods: (i) random edge removal, simulating the scenario in which the Law Enforcement Agencies fail to intercept some calls, or to spot sporadic meetings among suspects; (ii) node removal, modeling the situation in which some suspects cannot be intercepted or investigated. Finally we compute spectral distances (i.e., Adjacency, Laplacian and normalized Laplacian Spectral Distances) and matrix distances (i.e., Root Euclidean Distance) between the complete and pruned networks, which we compare using statistical analysis. Our investigation identifies two main features: first, the overall understanding of the criminal networks remains high even with incomplete data on criminal interactions (i.e., when 10% of edges are removed); second, removing even a small fraction of suspects not investigated (i.e., 2% of nodes are removed) may lead to significant misinterpretation of the overall network.

The analysis of the researched scientific problems on counteraction to crimes, committed by organized groups and criminal organizations, which are formed on an ethnic basis, now necessitates further research of ethnic crime in Ukraine and the world in general. Formation by the Ukrainian state of a multi-vector mechanism of counteraction to organized groups and criminal organizations, formed on an ethnic basis, is impossible without understanding the essence of this problem, relevant legal concepts and classification and identification of features of organized ethnic crime that are important for law enforcement and the state. The main effective factor in such activities is to guarantee the security of citizens and the integrity of the state from criminal encroachments of organized groups and criminal organizations that are formed on an ethnic basis. Thus, for the effective interaction of law enforcement agencies in combating crimes, committed by organized groups and criminal organizations that are formed on an ethnic basis, a sound concept of such cooperation is needed, which is currently lacking. Accordingly, in the long run, such a concept needs to be adopted immediately, which will start streamlining law enforcement relations on the exchange and realization of information concerning the activities of both domestic criminal groups and organized criminal groups of foreign nationals or those formed on ethnic grounds. Theoretical principles of law enforcement interaction in combating crimes, committed by organized groups and criminal organizations, which are formed on an ethnic basis by generalizing, analyzing and systematizing the concept of interaction, its forms, methods and types, are analyzed. An author's definition of the concept of interaction among police during counteraction to crimes, committed by organized groups and criminal organizations, formed on ethnic basi, is given

The article considers the issues of international cooperation in the investigation of crimes in the field of employment of Ukrainian citizens abroad. An analysis of the main international legal acts ratified by Ukraine on the regulation of the activities of authorized entities in the field of external labor migration. It is emphasized that external labor migration is directly related to aspects of interstate cooperation, as the vast majority of permits for employment of citizens abroad are issued through the relevant foreign diplomatic missions. The legal aspects of the interaction of authorized bodies in the course of international cooperation are studied, attention is paid to certain features of the formation of such requests and the formulation of questions in them. And crimes committed in the employment of Ukrainian citizens abroad often have group characteristics of criminal activity, even transnational in nature and are mostly related to human trafficking and their successful investigation is impossible without proper cooperation and international cooperation of relevant law enforcement agencies. The author has concluded that today in Ukraine there are no theoretical and scientifically substantiated and practically tested methodological developments on the methodology of investigation of crimes committed on employment abroad. It is possible to improve the effectiveness of the investigation of crimes committed in the field of employment abroad, to more successfully counter these phenomena and to protect the citizens of Ukraine from criminal encroachments on external labor migration in the field of employment abroad, provided participants in the provision of such international assistance and authorized entities for the effective implementation of international cooperation, taking into account the specifics of these crimes.

The explosive growth of information and communication technologies, which has affected human social communication institutions, has become commensurate with the increase in potential risks to the security and rights of citizens. The authors of the article attempt to highlight the issues of international cooperation between law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation and other countries in the framework of obtaining electronic information that is important for proving criminal cases. Attention is paid to procedures for ensuring the collection and use of electronic data in the response to crime occurring in the current fine line of confidentiality of privacy and security. Despite the mutual agreements signed between many countries of the world, the practical implementation of regulations that ensure the provision of electronic information in the framework of international cooperation is currently fraught with certain problems. Meanwhile, in the context of countering such dangerous phenomena for the world community as terrorism, extremism, drug trafficking, weapons, and people, a single mechanism for exchanging information stored on a gigantic scale on the servers of Telecom operators and providers has not yet been developed. The actual search for data stored on mobile devices usually requires a warrant in common law countries. In situations where there is a significant risk of loss of evidence, such as when data detection and other computer forensics tools are actively used, some jurisdictions allow law enforcement agencies to perform limited searches of devices without a warrant due to alleged data vulnerability. Another problem is the retention of stored data, since different practices apply in different countries. In this regard, it is essential that investigators and prosecutors are well informed about geo-specific data mapping issues, including “embargoes” or bans on the exchange of computer information.

Formation by the Ukrainian state of a multi-vector mechanism of counteraction to organized groups and criminal organizations formed on an ethnic basis is impossible without understanding the essence of this problem, relevant statutory concepts and classification and separation of features of organized ethnic crime, which are important for law enforcement and the main effective factor in such activities is to guarantee the security of citizens and the integrity of the state from criminal encroachments of organized groups and criminal organizations that are formed on an ethnic basis. It is stated that today among domestic scientists there are no comprehensive studies of organized groups and criminal organizations, which are formed on an ethnic basis. At the same time, such comprehensive studies are absent in European and American. researchers. Although the latter have positive isolated changes in this area. The main attention and efforts of researchers are attracted to large-scale organized ethnic groups. Based on a comparative legal study of foreign experience in Asia, Africa and Australia in combating crimes committed by organized groups and criminal organizations formed on an ethnic basis, the possibilities of introducing positive foreign experience in the work of law enforcement agencies of Ukraine have been identified. It is noted that the importance of our scientific intelligence, first of all, is that in practice, law enforcement agencies engaged in combating organized groups and criminal organizations that are formed on an ethnic basis, had the opportunity to have an idea of ​​this negative phenomenon. The article also emphasizes the peculiarities of collecting, analyzing, accumulating and storing information exchange for its convenient and effective use by law enforcement agencies of different countries in detecting, documenting and investigating crimes committed by organized groups and criminal organizations formed on an ethnic basis.
