The article analyzes the crime rate in the Russian Federation, including the Yaroslavl region. The author carried out a sociological study, within the framework of which a selective analysis of the implementation of the Safe city program in cities in the Russian Federation was carried out. In addition, a survey of students was carried out in 2018–2019 and a series of in-depth interviews with positional experts were conducted. A series of in-depth interviews with students were carried out: the faculty of law of Yaroslavl state university, the faculty of social and political sciences from Yaroslavl state university, pedagogical specialties from Yaroslavl state pedagogical university. It is concluded that the fight against crime will be more effective in comparison with the existing practice if the following conditions are met: purposeful increase in the degree of protection of citizens and infrastructure of cities and rural areas; full-scale implementation of information and communication technologies to control closed (markets, museums, etc.) and open (squares, parks, etc.) territories; development of basic information systems and resources, formation of technical and organizational foundations for further digital transformation of cities and rural areas; active participation of citizens in the life of society and in decision-making on the digitalization of urban space. The author's selective analysis of the implementation of the Safe city program in cities in the Russian Federation showed that the program is designed to reduce the number of offenses and especially dangerous crimes. In addition, this program provides for the solution of issues related to the migration aspect, with the need to reduce the risks caused by man-made and natural disasters and is aimed at identifying the potential danger of objects left in public places. As part of the study, a content analysis of the blogosphere was also carried out, a secondary analysis of publications of research results carried out by scientists from the Federal research center of the Russian academy of sciences (Moscow), was carried out. Based on the results of the study, measures are proposed to reduce crime in cities.

Corruption counteraction is, at present, one of the priorities in the domestic policy of the Russian Federation. Creating a national system of monitoring the effectiveness of corruption counteraction is an urgent task. The paper analyses the organization of a national system of monitoring the effectiveness of corruption counteraction in Russia. Anticorruption monitoring is viewed as an instrument to measure the influence of the states anticorruption efforts on the condition of corruption in the country and the evaluation of this condition by the population. Ultimately, anticorruption monitoring is necessary for the implementation of an effective anticorruption policy. The presented approach to organizing such monitoring focuses not only and not so much on the volume of planned and carried out tasks, but, primarily, on the comparison of corruption indices and changes in the evaluation of these indices by population. Besides, the measurement of the state of corruption for the purposes of monitoring should be primarily based on two indicators: the involvement of the participants of corresponding public relations in corruption and the scale of consequences (primarily, depending on the size of damage) caused by corruption offences. The authors conclude that it is necessary to involve universities with the necessary resources in the anticorruption monitoring. This will help solve the problem of organizing and conducting research on a systematic basis, students will acquire the necessary knowledge and skills, while the universities will accumulate scientifically valid information. The authors also suggest implementing pilot projects, and such experience could later be used to organize work on a national basis. While writing this paper, the authors used their experience of working in the Taskforce of the Presidium of the Presidential Council for Counteracting Corruption and Interaction with Civil Society, as well as the results of a sociological study «Problem of Corruption in the Collective Consciousness of Russians» carried out in October 2017 by the Center for Sociological and Internet Research of St. Petersburg State University.

The Government

The use of internet technology in the government environment is known as electronic government or e-government. In simple terms, e-government or digital government is an activity carried out by the government by using information technology support in providing services to the community. In line with the spirit of bureaucratic reform in Indonesia, e-government has a role in improving the quality of public services and helping the process of delivering information more effectively to the public. Over time, the application of e-Government has turned out to have mixed results. In developed countries, the application of e-Government systems in the scope of government has produced various benefits ranging from the efficiency of administrative processes and various innovations in the field of public services. But on the contrary in the case of developing countries including Indonesia, the results are more alarming where many government institutions face obstacles and even fail to achieve significant improvements in the quality of public services despite having adequate information and communication technology. The paradigm of bureaucrats who wrongly considers that the success of e-Government is mainly determined by technology. Even though there are many factors outside of technology that are more dominant as causes of failure such as organizational management, ethics and work culture. This study aims to develop a model of success in the application of e-Government from several best practice models in the field of information technology that have been widely used so far using literature studies as research methods. The results of the study show that the conceptual model of the success of the implementation of e-Government developed consists of 17 determinants of success..Keywords: Model, Factor, Success, System, e-Government

This article provides a classification and characteristics of persons convicted for crimes in the field of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances illicit trafficking. The article deals with the statistics in this sphere over the past five years. Based on the collected empirical evidence the authors analyzed the qualitative indicators of convicted drug offenders. The examination of statistical data from investigative and judicial practice on crimes in the field of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances illicit trafficking made it possible to sketch a criminal profile of a person sentenced to imprisonment: a citizen of the Russian Federation, a male between 18 to 39 years, having a secondary general or vocational education. Moreover, the personality of a convicted person is characterized by his internal criteria deformation devaluing the norms and rules that express and consolidate public interests. The authors also conducted a comparative analysis of offenders convicted both in the Russian Federation and in such federal subjects as Saint-Petersburg and Leningrad region. The choice of St. Petersburg as one of the objects of this research is justified by the fact that it has been among the leaders of the regions with the largest number of recorded drug-related crimes for several years.

Extremism prevention is an essential component of the work in the field of national security of the country. The article reveals some of the main forms of extremism, such as religious-political, ethno-social, economic, pseudoscientific, and others, and provides examples. The main content of the article is devoted to the disclosure of the essence and diversity of manifestations of cultural extremism in the country, especially in the North Caucasus and Dagestan. Numerous concrete examples are given, proving that cultural extremism takes place and sometimes takes on quite acute forms. It is shown that the manifestations of cultural extremism are more difficult to combat, since it manifests itself among more literate and intellectually savvy people and does not have open ideologically organized forms, as in the case of religious and political extremism. The article considers the current law of the Russian Federation and the draft new law on culture, which notes all the mechanisms for overcoming extremism in culture, and which clearly emphasize the primacy of the rights and freedoms of an individual creative personality.

Fidence Interval

A high proportion of patients who leave Russian prisons without a known treatment outcome (from 26 to 32%) re-duces the rate of successful treatment. Some patients who started treatment in prison do not continue it in the pub-lic health system after release. Objective. Using a repre-sentative sample of TB-infected inmates, study the need for social support measures that would motivate them to continue treatment. Materials and methods. One stage anonymous sociological study of 453 TB-infected in-mates in 40 regions of the Russian Federation, with fixed answer options that allow for multiple choices. Results. The need for one-time cash support was 63.4%; 95% con-fidence interval (CI) 58.8–67.7, ie from 4 to 5 thousand patients annually; assistance with housing — 32.7%; 95% CI 28.5-37.1, ie from 2 to 2.5 thousand; employment — 30.9%; 95% CI 26.8–35.3, ie from 2 to 2.5 thousand; regu-lar food packages — 27.9%; 95% CI 21.2–29.1, ie from 1.5 to 2 thousand; reissuance of documents — 21.0%; 95% CI 17.5–25.0, ie from 1.3 to 1.8 thousand. Conclusion. There is a need for legislative justification for the establishment of social rehabilitation centers, coordination of their joint activities with the tuberculosis program. The programs for the provision of social support to patients with tubercu-losis should envisage one-time payments for tuberculosis patients released from prisons who get linked to medical care, assistance to these patients with employment and interaction with social rehabilitation centers in order to provide patients with a temporary place of residence

The HIV epidemic has been going on for nearly thirty years, it is a heterogeneous, dynamic and highly resistant to countermeasures. The Leningrad Region and the city of St. Petersburg today are referred to the most affected regions of the Russian Federation, as nearly 1% of the population of this city has HIVpositive status. Despite the decline in the HIV infection incidence of the resident population of the Central District, the epidemiological situation for HIV infection remains to be tense, due to the increase in the cumulative number of HIV-infected and AIDS patients, the increase ofthe morbidity rate and mortality in co-infected patients with HIV/tuberculosis, activation of the output of the epidemic in vulnerable groups into the general population. At the same time, a cohort of HIV-infected patients with a high risk of late detection of tuberculosis continues to form
