The purpose of the article is to study the genesis of national legislation in the field of operational investigative activities in independent Ukraine, with the subsequent identification of conceptual problems, as well as the development and publication of proposals to address them taking into account the experience of post-Soviet countries. It is established that the process of formation and becoming of the legal basis for the work of operative subdivisions of authorized state bodies is not complete and it must be continued, as there are problems even with definition of conceptual bases of such activity, in particular related to the requirements of current legislation regarding its grounds. It is a question of whether the operative subdivisions should initiate operative-investigative cases and conduct operational investigative activities or send materials about preparations for a crime to the pre-trial investigation body, except for minor gravity, that is, about crimes being prepared, as well as persons preparing crimes. To solve the problem, we propose to discuss amendments to article 6 of the Law of Ukraine «On operational investigative activities», which would exclude from the list of grounds for conducting for operational investigative activities such as the availability of sufficient information obtained in accordance with the law, requiring verification by means of operational investigative measures, about crimes being prepared, as well as persons preparing crimes. At the same time, information about crimes being prepared, as well as persons who are preparing crimes, should be immediately entered into the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations, except for minor ones, and preparation for a crime should be investigated immediately by an investigator. This model is more consistent with the work of Western law enforcement agencies, but, as the study showed, is not typical of post-Soviet countries. These proposals, as well as alternative ones, on the harmonization of operational investigative and Criminal procedure legislation require professional discussion, but changes in one form or another are inevitable. The obtained and published results can be used by scientists in further research in this area, as well as law enforcement officers in the conduct of operational investigative activities and crime investigations.

The author has studied administrative and legal status of law enforcement agencies, which are the subjects of interaction with financial institutions in the field of combating the legalization of criminal proceeds. The contents of such categories as status, legal status, administrative and legal status have been clarified. Based on the analysis of the scientific literature, the author has determined that the rights and responsibilities are integral structural elements of the administrative and legal status. It has been noted that two main approaches to determining the structural elements of the administrative and legal status of law enforcement agencies were formed in administrative law science. The author has provided the list of law enforcement agencies that are empowered to counter the legalization of criminal proceeds and are subjects of interaction with financial institutions. Such agencies are the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, the agencies of the Security Service, the National Police and Prosecutor’s Office, the State Bureau of Investigation, the tax police units of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine. The necessity to distinguish only such elements of the administrative and legal status of law enforcement agencies as the purpose, tasks, functions, competence, powers, legal responsibility, as well as organizational structure has been proved. The purpose of the activity of law enforcement agencies in this field has been formulated. Only those tasks and functions of law enforcement agencies that contribute to the achievement of the stated purpose have been considered. It has been emphasized that the competence is the sphere of activity of a certain law enforcement agency, and the authority is the totality of the rights and duties of that agency, granted by the legislation to perform the assigned functions within the competence. It has been established that the employees of the designated law enforcement agencies have disciplinary, civil, administrative and criminal liability. It has been stated that structural units facilitate the implementation of the tasks and functions of a specific law enforcement agency. The author has provided the definition of the administrative and legal status of the subjects that cooperate in the sphere of combating the legalization of criminal proceeds. The place and role of the indicated subjects in the sphere of combating the legalization of criminal proceeds have been determined.

The article discusses the issues of crime detection as one of the criteria for the effectiveness of the law enforcement agencies. Every year the number of undetected crimes remains at a consistently high level. This confirms the relevance of the problem under consideration and indicates the need for further developments in this direction. The authors managed to conclude that the full definition of the term “crime detection” is not presented in any legislative act, i.e. this scientific category has actually always been outside the legal field, which led to its arbitrary interpretation by individual scientists and practitioners. Also, the authors concluded that there is a close relationship between the concepts of "crime detection" and "countering detection", which was the basis of this article. The article was prepared considering foreign experience. In general, this approach allows using the effective means and methods in the fight against crime, as well as modern technologies in crime detection.

The urgency of studying the essence and meaning of this interaction is substantiated. The concept of interaction is considered from the point of view of different branches of knowledge. The opinions and views of domestic and foreign scientists regarding the concept and meaning of interaction, both a social phenomenon and a legal category, implying conscious, coordinated, joint and purposeful actions of bodies of pre-trial proceedings are analyzed. The author’s definition of the concept of interaction between the bodies of pre-trial proceedings is given.

It has been emphasized that, in connection with the development of tourism, cases of offenses related to tourism activity or committed under the guise of tourism have increased. At the same time, criminal activities in the field of tourist activity can be committed both by the real subjects of tourist activity, as well as by fictitious enterprises, as well as by persons who accompany the agreements on tourist services. Without knowledge of law enforcement agencies about the main means by which crimes of this kind are committed, success is not always possible, since investigation under such conditions is carried out in conditions of information failure. The article deals with research of scientists' views on the concept and structural elements of ways of committing a crime, considering the forensically significant features of ways of committing crimes in the sphere of tourist activity. The author proves that the ways of committing crimes in the sphere of tourist activity have a complete structure and consist of actions for preparation, direct commission and concealment aimed at achieving a single result. The author has emphasized that, in order to create the conditions necessary for the smooth open-ing of the tourist business, the subjects of tourist activity often go against the law, violating a number of criminal laws, involving in this chain the lawlessness of officials and persons who provide public services, which capable of making unlawful decisions and facilitating unlawful acts. The fttention has been paid to description of ways, to find out their peculiarities, to determine the factors that influence their formation, on the basis of which they are systematized. All types of criminal activities perpetrated in the sphere of tourist activity are divided into three groups: 1) methods of action related to creating the conditions necessary for the smooth opening of the tourist business; 2) unlawful actions related to the pursuit of the successful operation of tourism activities and the acquisition of surplus profits; 3) actions taken under the guise of tourism.

The relevance of the article is that the creation of the National Police of Ukraine has become a radically new stage in reforming the law enforcement sector of our state. This central executive body was called not only to ensure the protection and observance of human and civil rights and freedoms, but also to increase the general level of public confidence in the state in general and its law enforcement sector in particular. At the same time, in carrying out their activities, the police implement a number of measures, among which a special place belongs to administrative coercion. The latter, in turn, emphasize the legal relationship between the state and the law enforcement system. Therefore, establishing the place, role and importance of the National Police in the system of law enforcement agencies of the state is of great importance for their proper functioning and efficiency. The article, based on the analysis of scientific views of scientists and the norms of current legislation, identifies the types of measures implemented by the National Police of Ukraine. The content of some measures is revealed. It is stated that in the system of measures implemented by the National Police, one of the key places is given to administrative coercion. The author's definition of the concept of administrative and coercive measures implemented by the National Police of Ukraine is proposed. It is determined that administrative-coercive police measures occupy the main place in the administrative activity of the police, as they provide, in particular: unimpeded preventive measures to prevent offenses; protection of human rights, freedoms and interests, citizens and public order and public safety; cessation of committed offenses; gathering evidence; identification and detention of the offender; bringing perpetrators to justice; restoration of justice in society, etc. Therefore, the more effective the measures of administrative coercion that can be used by the National Police of Ukraine, the better the fight against crime and the more effective the process of crime prevention.

Definition Of

Measures are being taken in Russia to improve anti-terrorist legislation, with special attention paid to increasing the counter-terrorism potential of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. However, the current anti-terrorism regulations are not without drawbacks. Thus, terrorist activity is interpreted differently in Art. 3 of the Federal Law "On Countering Terrorism" and Art. 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which leads to contradictory investigative and judicial practice. The solution is seen in the unification of the definition of terrorist activity and the definition in the wording of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation looks preferable. It is noted that the legal support for the operational penetration of law enforcement agencies into terrorist structures does not meet the requirements, since the norm of Part 4 of Art. 18 of the federal law "On operational-search activity" (contains an operational-search basis for active repentance) remains inoperative due to the lack of its incorporation into the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation. The article formulates additions to these codified federal laws, which will legitimize the operational-search basis for active repentance.
