The article is devoted to the study of the constitutional and legal essence of non-state forms of law enforcement in Ukraine. The author emphasizes that in Ukraine law enforcement has always been associated with the activities of state bodies, but these bodies today under various circumstances are not able to fully ensure the security of all systems operating in society. The development of the European vector of Ukraine, the processes of decentralization and deconcentration of power, the urgent need to create a safe environment have led to the development of non-state forms of law enforcement. The relevance of the study is due to the existing problems of determining the constitutional and legal content of existing non-state forms of law enforcement in Ukraine. The author reveals the problematic issues of defining the term «law and order» and «protection of law and order» in the Constitution of Ukraine and legislation. It is determined that the format of modern problem definition requires the search for opportunities for the development of security engineering with the involvement of non-governmental elements of law enforcement. The author believes that the function of law enforcement is implemented in two forms: state and non-state, respectively, under the form of law enforcement we mean the external manifestation of specific actions carried out by state and non-state elements of law enforcement to protect human rights and freedoms, law enforcement. The opinion that it is necessary to distinguish between private, municipal and public forms of law enforcement is substantiated. Private forms of law enforcement should include the activities of: private security companies; private detectives. The municipal forms of law enforcement include the activities of: the municipal guard; municipal parking inspectors; municipal officials performing law enforcement functions. The public forms of law enforcement include the activities of: public formations for the protection of public order; security coordination offices; public assistants of a district police officer on a voluntary basis. It is concluded that the constitutional and legal design of the definition of law and order with the involvement of non-state forms of its protection is an important form of security engineering and an effective institution for ensuring human and civil rights and freedoms in Ukraine.

The current legislative regulation of the representative function of the prosecutor’s office in Ukraine contains a number of defects, which leads to a decrease in the effectiveness of law enforcement activities and the level of protection of the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of participants of legal relations, and therefore the social importance of the prosecutor’s office activities outside the sphere of criminal justice in Ukraine. In such circumstances, there is a scientific discourse on the feasibility of retaining the powers of the prosecutor’s office outside the sphere of criminal justice in Ukraine, since the society seeks not for process for the sake of process, but for the result, which necessitates the scientific investigation of these defects in order to eliminate their consequences in law enforcement. The purpose of the article is to analyze the legislative regulation of the prosecutor’s office outside the sphere of criminal justice in Ukraine and the practice of its application in order to identify the defects of the legislation in this field, presenting their own vision on the prospects of legal support of the prosecutor’s office in this area in accordance with the needs and resources of society, as well as introduction proposals to remedy legislative defects in order to improve its enforcement. It is established that the legislative regulation of the representative function of the prosecutor’s office contains several defects, including: the declarative nature of the powers of the prosecutor, by which he is empowered in the process of exercising the representative function, especially in the pre-trial form of its implementation; appraisal terms in the legislative regulation of relations in a particular area, such as «state interests» and «exceptional cases»; the mismatch between the language structure and the content that the legislator sought to reflect in law, the manifestation of which is the definition of the object of the public prosecutor’s office of the «interest of the state», which in some cases is understood by the jurisdictions as a public authority and distorts the defined mission of the prosecutor’s office outside the criminal justice system at the level of the European institutions; the collisions in the legislative regulation of the representative function of the prosecutor’s office, which cause legal uncertainty as to the extent of the prosecutor’s powers in its implementation; the absence of a legislative conceptual vision of the public prosecutor’s office powers outside the criminal justice sphere. It is suggested that the basis for eliminating these defects in the legislation should be the necessity to change the conceptual model of prosecutor’s activity outside the sphere of criminal justice. The main elements of this model should be the clarification of the grounds for giving the prosecutor’s office guaranteed, not declarative powers outside the sphere of criminal justice, determined by the task of protecting human rights and freedoms, the general interests of society and the state. It is clarified the author’s vision of the elimination of defects in the legislative regulation of the representative function of the prosecutor’s office in Ukraine and the prospects for further scientific investigations in this field are outlined.

The article examines the problem of delimitation of legal status: official and official. The category of legal status is an important component for every participant in public relations, because such a status will depend on the scope of his civil rights and responsibilities, which is especially relevant for an official or official. It was found that today the issues of the studied categories, namely «legal status of an official» and «legal status of an official» still remain relevant because there is no unanimous position for their delimitation. It is clear that the categories of «official», «official» occupy a leading position in the field of public administration, criminal law, litigation, other areas of law and legislation. These categories should be key in the preparation of regulations relating to the civil service, regulation of law enforcement agencies, determining the legal responsibility of persons holding certain positions in the civil service. Conclusions are made where, given that at the legislative level there is no single definition of «official» and «official», and the proposed definitions in legal science are mainly sectoral in nature, the priority is: first, the definition in the Law «On basics of civil service», which must be adopted, the concepts of «official» and «official» and their features. The task of today's legislator is the need to differentiate them. Therefore, when determining the grounds for assigning persons to the categories of officials or officials should be guided by the relevant legislation governing certain relations. Regarding the legal status of officials and officials, the conclusion was that a significant factor in distinguishing these categories, unfortunately, is not legal status, because without a clear distinction between the basic concepts of «official» and «official», we can not fully describe the differences in this status. Keywords: service, position, legal status, civil service, official, employee, official

The purpose of this article is to define the role of law enforcement agencies in the system of protection of human rights and freedoms. The legal relations that arise during the activities of law enforcement agencies regarding the protection of human rights and freedoms were the subject of the study. Such methods of scientific cognition as dialectical, logical-semantical, formal-legal and analytical were used during the writing of the article. Through a series of research analyzes and comparisons, the definition of "law enforcement agencies" was provided. During the writing of this scientific work, the level of impact of effectively functioning law enforcement agencies on the entire system of protection of fundamental human and civil rights and freedoms was traced. It is stated that due to the multisectoral nature of activity of law enforcement agencies, their extensive system, etc., it is impossible to group them in one legislative act. The root cause for this is that all law enforcement agencies have different functions, different tasks, they do not have the same powers, and so on. It is emphasized that, regardless of the state in which they are located, law enforcement agencies (and especially their activities to ensure inalienable protected rights) will always be a model for a society as a whole. Hence the foundation of the widespread scientific thesis that the quality of law enforcement work in the field of protection and observance of constitutional rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of individuals is a direct reflection of the level of success and competence of all actors in society.

In January 2007, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) announced its second multi–year technology grant program for America’s public libraries. The purpose of Phase II, Keeping communities connected: The next step is to help public libraries sustain the public access computing infrastructure laid down during Phase I. Now, as then, the goal of the program is to bridge the digital divide. But it is a digital divide as defined by Bill Gates and not the public library community. Situating Gates’ philanthropy within a critical policy frame, this paper considers two alternatives to Gates’ problem definition of the digital divide, and how knowledge of these might benefit those communities served by public access computing (PAC) services as found in public libraries. The two specific alternatives considered come from the Free Software Foundation (FSF), and Community Informatics (CI). Significantly, both social movements promote the potential of free and open software as an important part of any solution. Finally, the public library literature is reviewed for patterns in the community’s use of FOSS, and the argument is made for its use in the delivery of PAC services.
