Use of coercion by Ukrainian law enforcement authorities: certain aspects.
The need for scientific research of the grounds for the use of coercion by law enforcement authorities, and especially its component such as physical coercion, is extremely important, as it is possible only if there are sufficient conditions provided by law. The author analyzes the legal and factual grounds for the use of coercion by law enforcement authorities in the field of causal interdependence and interdependence. Police coercive measures, measures to maintain the regime in places of imprisonment and pre-trial detention are revealed. They are applied only in cases when all other forms of pre-trial detention of offenders have been used and have not ensured the fulfillment of duties imposed on law enforcement officers. Emphasis is placed on the fact that each specific case of the use of coercion must have a comprehensive basis (legal and factual). The first component of this set is a dangerous encroachment (act, process, event of objective reality) that threatens harm, or that already harms law enforcement interests (legal basis). The second component is the situation that indicates the impossibility of eliminating, preventing or stopping the specified encroachment in other ways and indicates the need (compulsion) and justification for the use of coercion (factual basis). The author pays special attention to the analysis of Ukrainian legislation in order to study the legal grounds for the use of coercive measures by various law enforcement authorities. These legal relations are regulated by the norms of administrative, criminal procedure and correctional labor law. They clearly outline the desire of the legislator to limit the infliction of harm only to the minimum that is really necessary and sufficient to achieve the socially useful goals provided by law. Causing damage that exceeds this minimum is considered illegal.
