The purpose of the article is to determine the features and legal grounds for the use of tools of operational and search activities in the pre-trial investigation. Subject of research: The subject of research is covert investigative (search) actions and operational and search measures. Methodology: dialectical method, formal logic methods, logical and semantic method, system analysis method, theoretical method, normative and dogmatic method, legal modeling method. The results of the study: Distinguishing between investigation and search measures, we apply the following principle: if the object of operational activities is already known to law enforcement officers we are talking about search measures, if not – about investigation measures. Practical consequences: The possibility of legal regulation of the use of tools of operational and search activity at the stages of criminal proceedings is determined. Value / originality: It is concluded that the list of operational and search measures also includes those that have no analogues with the CISAs and therefore operational and search measures do not duplicate the CISAs, but perform the task of ensuring the possibility of fulfilling the investigator’s instructions to conduct the CISAs.

Stalking, as currently conceptualized, is a complex phenomenon, and individual stalking cases can be quite distinct. Several authors have proposed classification schemes in an effort to discern and understand common themes among cases of stalking. These stalking “typologies” reflect both theoretical considerations and empirical examinations of persons whose behaviors have shaped the definition of stalking. Typologies have been constructed from clinical and law enforcement perspectives. Classification schemes to date have been broadly based on factors such as the motivation of the stalker, psychiatric symptoms among stalkers, the nature of the relationship between the pursuer and the victim, victim characteristics, and harm to the victim. These classifications have been conceptualized to assist with risk assessment, risk management, and treatment considerations in stalking cases. This chapter describes some historical underpinnings of classification categories, compares existing typologies of stalkers, and explicates the typological scheme adopted throughout this book. Over the last 15 years, stalking has become increasingly recognized as a distinctive form of potentially criminal behavior that may come to the attention of mental health professionals. At the same time that the criminal justice system has grappled with defining stalking for legal purposes, clinicians who encounter stalking behavior have attempted to create useful classifications of stalking behaviors. Attempts have also been made to develop taxonomies of stalking types that might guide law enforcement professionals. Taxonomic classifications are common in science and, when they are successful, they help us organize and identify unique aspects of information and refine our understanding of the given phenomenon under study. Setting up a system of classification of stalking, a behavior that is difficult to define and codify, has several advantages. Once established, a useful taxonomy of stalkers could improve communication among professionals and could help them better appreciate aspects of stalking, including the natural course of the behavior and prognosis of particular stalkers. In addition, taxonomic categorization can facilitate case comparisons and improve clinicians’ abilities to assess risks, manage risks, and provide treatment. Stalking typologies may also enlighten decisions about social policy and legal regulation related to the phenomenon.

The purpose. To investigate and analyse the characteristics and features of copyrighted objects, to distinguish their common and distinctive features that are important for the classification of copyrighted objects. Article’s main body. It was established that for the objects of copyright remains unchanged what they are: should be the result of human creative activity; have novelty, originality, as inherent properties of creativity; characterized by fixation, which at the same time should be static, which complicates further changes to the object; free from the structure of the content, which can be varied in its content; objects regardless of the fact of publication.

The article considers topical issues of definition and qualification of premeditated murder. Intentional homicide has been shown to be distinguished from related and externally similar events, such as suicide and accident. This issue is especially relevant given the fact that a person who committed premeditated murder may knowingly seek to create an environment for incorrect classification of the act. Therefore, it is not possible and not necessary to draw unambiguous conclusions about the legal qualification of such an event solely due to objective circumstances, despite the sometimes obvious nature of the event. The author identified a number of common and distinctive features that should be taken into account by law enforcement agencies during the qualification of an event involving a violent death. An example is the presence and clarity of the reasons for which a person may have committed a probable suicide. However, it is stated that a person's subjective attitude to the act and external signs should be considered only in conjunction with other circumstances. The author also considers certain features of the object, subject, objective and subjective side of premeditated murder, which will be key in resolving the issue of qualification. It was found that the essential features of premeditated murder are its illegality and the intention to take the life of another person, is only in the presence of both of these factors can a legal fact be interpreted as premeditated murder. There are certain signs of an accident that distinguish such an event from premeditated murder. The key is the absence of any form of guilt on the part of the perpetrator. The author also identified a number of features in the presence of which the qualification of the act as premeditated murder should be excluded, for example, the case when the subject of the act and the victim are one and the same person.
