Issues related to the assessment of the professionalism of police officers are inevitably intertwined with the increasing role of the moral foundations of their activities. The implementation of generally accepted rules of conduct, which are formed in the legal consciousness of the individual, reflects the level of his moral and legal thinking. In our context, the peculiarity of morality is that it is manifested not only in the content of the police, but also in the form of its implementation, playing the role of the most important factor in assessing the work of the police by society. Moral and psychological stability is considered as a determining factor of public confidence in the police. The author has singled out psychological structure of this characteristic, namely: motivational component, the indicators of which are a positive attitude to service, awareness of the importance of conscientious performance of official tasks and conscious desire to perform professional duties, belief in the value of moral norms and the need to subordinate own behavior; cognitive component, which includes knowledge of the legal basis of professional activity, ethical requirements of police officers’ behavior, the rules of use of physical force, special means and firearms; professional-personal component, which contains such professional moral and psychological qualities as professional honor, justice, decency, honesty, compassion and empathy, attitude to the rule of law, discipline, humanity, responsibility and a reflective component that characterizes the ability of a police officer to analyze phenomena of own consciousness and activity and assess the level of formation of moral and psychological stability, ability to effectively solve job problems. The reasons of the existing problems in realization of moral principles of professional activity of police officers are defined. The ways of formation of high moral and psychological stability of police officers, first of all, through departmental education are offered.

The newly developing countries desire not only political independence but also economic progress for their people—a progress which they can see, and are now aware of, in the rest of the world. The role of the developed countries is to extend aid to the needy. Moral foundations underlie the donor's contributions, but they are more than that, they are the means for acquiring support for international aid in the donor's country. The United States must assume the leader ship among' the free nations in granting aid; she must accept this role because of her economic achievements and technologi cal advantages. Donators of such aid should take cognizance of the complementary character and interrelatedness of economic and social development. For economic development, however much it is sought, is not an end in itself, rather the aim is the well-being and happiness of the individual. Such a goal neces sitates economic aid accompanied by social aid. Social welfare can also be a vehicle to achieve peace, inasmuch as people-to- people relationships generate brotherly love—the only lasting foundation for peace.—Ed.

Para Luc Ferry o final do século XX trouxe em seu bojo uma aparente crise do dever e com ela o fim dos fundamentos das normas morais no universo religioso ou mesmo nos ideais revolucionários. Com isso, a reflexão ética ganha novos contornos, o que vemos acontecer, por exemplo, no pensamento de Ferry que caracterizará a ética como o fundamento da vida humana, pois ela se encarrega da questão da salvação, ou seja, do sentido da vida do homem. Num humanismo em que as visões tradicionais do mundo e as concepções religiosas da ética caducaram, o homem moderno se vê diante da seguinte indagação: o que me é permitido esperar? Não podemos hesitar em retirar o Deus revelado como fundamento de nossa resposta. É através de uma secularização da ética que poderemos reconhecer os valores transcendentais que fundamentam os princípios morais pensados como algo puramente humano e que mesmo assim possui caráter absoluto e universal. Nesse sentido é a liberdade do homem associada à sua capacidade reflexiva que permitem ao indivíduo encontrar dentro de si valores que se apresentam como superiores à sua subjetividade. Assim, o homem descobre, através de sua consciência, que há valores que o transcendem e parecem valer para os demais.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Humanismo. Ética. Laicismo. Amor. Secularização. ABSTRACTFor Luc Ferry the twentieth century’s end has brought in its wake an apparent crisis of duty and with it the end of the foundations of moral norms in the religious universe or even in revolutionary ideals. In order to this, the ethical reflection earns new contours, what we see happening, for example, the Ferry’s thought responsible for characterize ethics as the foundation of human life, as it is in charge of the issue of salvation, that is, the meaning of human life . A humanism where traditional worldviews and religious conceptions of lapsed ethics, modern man is faced with the following question: What is allowed me to wait? We can’t hesitate to pull the God revealed as the foundation of our response. It is through a secularization of ethics that we recognize the transcendent values that underlie the moral principles thought of as purely human and It still has absolute and universal character. In this sense, the man’s freedom is associated with its reflective ability that allows the individual to find within itself values that present themselves as superior the life. In this way, man finds out from his awareness that there are values that transcend their subjectivity and appear to be true for others.KEYWORDS: Humanism. Ethics. Secularismo. Love. Secularizacion.

We present and analyze the results of two empirical studies conducted in the framework of adaptation of "The malevolent creativity behavior scale" (Hao et al.) on samples of cadets-students grades 9-10 (N=89, 70-boys) and police officers (N=62, average age 26 years, men). The hypothesis that the implementation of original solutions in behavior harmful to other people is due to the interaction of aggression/its components and a set of personal characteristics was tested. The results showed: 1. a special contribution belongs to the cognitive component of aggression-hostility (Bass-Perry questionnaire), both in adolescents and adults; 2. there are age and gender features in predictors of anti-social creativity. It is shown by the example of cadets that Machiavellianism, low neuroticism, agreeableness (NEO-5 FFI) can be included in the complex of personal characteristics. Analysis of the results obtained in the sample of police officers with non-legal education showed that the combination of low hostility with high self-regulation and self-control of the individual ("self-directedness ",TCI-125) can become a resource of resistance to anti-socially directed behavior, in particular corruption.

The Relationship

The article investigates the influence of moral principles on historically developing social relations. The appeal to this problem is based on a conceptual approach to the origin of human morality, which arises in the course of sociogenesis as a set of behavioral principles that provide the intraspecific cultural (non-genetic) solidarity necessary for human societies. It is noted that the moral consciousness of individuals, which regulates interpersonal relationships, is a necessary but insufficient means for transmitting moral principles. Morality is expressed in the relationship between society and an individual. Society solves the problem of reproduction of moral regulators, it brings them into the nature of social relations by necessity. In this regard, attention is drawn to the role of elite groups in solving the aforementioned problem, in particular, it points out the peculiarities of the formation of an elite layer in Russian history. The elite is the bearer of moral images of social behavior, which expresses the attitude to public goals, interests, historical meanings of social life. The task of the elite is the implementation of these principles in the nature of social relations. The egoism of individuals and social groups can impede the solution of such a problem. Overcoming difficulties of this kind can be achieved by an awareness of history, which provides the basis for public consensus. The article focuses on the ethos of the “spirit of capitalism”, which enters into the social environment through the principles of the organization of economic activity. The paper shows the relevance of the problem of interaction of economic ethics and moral foundations of society as a systemic whole.

Level Of Motivation

The eff ectiveness and effi ciency of any type of professional activity largely depends on the level of motivation of the staff . Currently, a signifi cant number of mechanisms to stimulate the labor activity of employees of organizations, as well as the levels of their importance to the individual in various constitutional working conditions are described. Of particular importance is the quality of services provided in the “helping” areas of activity, which include health care. However, the range of methods used to stimulate and motivate in this area is reduced only to the use of material monetary incentives, often not related to the direct performance indicators of specialists, which levels the motivational component of these activities. Taking into account the fact that doctors, as well as representatives of any other professions, have absolutely diff erent dominant motives of labor activity, in medical organizations it is necessary to apply a diff erentiated approach to motivating and stimulating activities, including various types of material non-monetary and non-fi nancial stimulation, the result of which will be an increase in the quality and availability of medical services provided to the population.

Insight Into

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to gain insight into the type of force that is most frequently used by Belgian police officers in their daily activities, and to examine the individual and contextual triggers that result in using force. Design/methodology/approach First, the results of an online survey of police officers in three Belgian local police zones are presented. Second, qualitative data are used to gain more insight into the factors, individual as well as contextual, that influence the decision to use force. Findings The survey results indicate that the officers in the sample rarely use force. When force is used, the type of force used is typically situated on the lower end of the continuum (verbal and physical force without a weapon). The interview data suggest that suspect resistance, the behaviour of the suspect in general and the character and personality of the police officer have an influence on the use of force. Practical implications The authors conclude that police officers should be provided not only with training on typical situations, but also with training to handle unpredictable cases, as well as individual coaching and aftercare. Increased transparency and reporting of the use of force and evolutions thereof could provide basic information to develop training, coaching and aftercare. Originality/value Although there has been plenty of academic attention given to the factors that determine proper use of force by the police, most research in this field is based on police experiences abroad (such as in the USA).

The article highlights the results of the study of psychological features of interpersonal interaction of district officers of the National Police of Ukraine. A district police officer, like every police officer, in the process of professional activity performs important law enforcement functions to ensure security, respect for rights and freedoms, on the basis of partnership and police care, so close contact with citizens and colleagues, so his communicative potential depends on the success of official tasks. The ability to communicate with people, establish psychological contact, overcome barriers to communication, listen, listen and hear, answer questions, influence, provide and obtain the necessary information, etc., determine not only the quality of work of a police officer in general, but also efficiency activities of the National Police of Ukraine in general. The presented study of interpersonal communication of police officers is based on the use of two recognized psychodiagnostic methods, namely the interrogation questionnaire for interpersonal interaction T. Leary and the abbreviated version of the questionnaire of the Big Five in the adaptation of O. John, L. Naumann, S. Soto. In general, the selected questionnaires allowed to determine the professional features of communication of district police officers in the vectors of extroversion and introversion, friendliness and aggression, dominance and dependence. The profile of a district police officer has been found to combine wall and hyposthenic characteristics, allowing them to combine stern, masculine traits and patterns of behavior in interpersonal relationships with milder, emotionally benevolent manifestations. Personal characteristics such as honesty, extroversion, moderate flexibility, openness to new experiences, low levels of neuroticism indicate that district police officers tend to have a mixed type of response in the process of interpersonal interaction. It has been proven that the use of questionnaires provides an objective and comprehensive description of the style of interpersonal behavior of police officers, which will improve the quality of professional selection of police officers, increase the efficiency of teamwork and increase public confidence in the police.
