There have been a large number of such events in the world over the past year that cannot be called ordinary. The most difficult of them is the public challenge of spreading the COVID-19 coronavirus. Ukraine is not an exception to the countries affected by the pandemic. Measures to overcome this problem involve the coordinated work both of all government agencies and society. The police, as one of the agencies that directly enforces certain restrictions caused by anti-epidemic measures, and the contact of the population and the authorities on law enforcement activity, must master new ways of carrying out professional activities. The pandemic has complicated all public relations in the country without exception. Forms of realization of law enforcement function did not become an exception. Thus, the powers of the police have expanded to some extent due to the need to respect human rights’ restrictions in the context of combating the spread of the disease. Such functions are necessary, but their availability and necessity are questionable from the point of view of the population. The police have the duty to stop the offenses and prosecute those who violate the law regarding certain restrictions caused by the pandemic. At the same time, the majority of the population does not take seriously the appeals of health care authorities and quarantine requirements. This complicates the difficult relationship between the police and the public, since the latter does not perceive police activity in this case as legal and necessary. This leads to exacerbation of conflicts and contradictions. The constant confrontation between these entities significantly affects the level of security and quality of law enforcement activity. The relevance of the study is explained by the importance of police actions in the context of ensuring the compliance of the population with quarantine restrictions. Besides, a large amount of negative material on the Internet provokes the population to negative perception of police activities. However, it may be successful period for the formation of trust, partnership between the police and the population in regard to the situation where solving the problem (spread of the pandemic) requires the mobilization of both the population and the government. Given the above, the authors of the article have analyzed the key problems of community policing in terms of today’s challenges. The authors have developed propositions to improve the forms, methods and techniques of policing to maintain the appropriate level of public confidence in its activities. The obtained results can be further used in scientific and practical activities. The work can become a basis for further research, ground for the implementation of new forms of activities by practical units. The results of the study should be also taken into account during further rule-making activities.

Relevance. In terms of revising the provisions of legal regulation of relations in the field of transport with the borrowing of competitive principles of the European institutes to ensure the integration of transport into European and world transport area, with revision of models of relations between relevant public administration entities and private entities, ensuring balance of their interests , including in the context of national and supranational threats and focus on expanding the implementation of rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the latter in the field of transport, strengthening of the principles of decentralization of power in the system of public authorities occurs, resulting in a significant increase in the number and diversity of regulatory and legal acts aimed at settling the above relations. Unfortunately, at the same time the processes of "growth" and a variety of forms of corruption in the activities of public servants, whose professional sphere is directly related to transport relations with the involvement of municipal transport, are also active. Analysis of law enforcement activities of anti-corruption entities in all its manifestations shows a fairly steady trend towards an increase in the number of detected acts of corruption committed by public servants directly related to the exercise of their authority over the procedure for admission to municipal passenger transportation. The specifics of the legislative regulation of the latter presupposes the presence of many "defects", which create the basis for variable manifestations, including illegal, of the activities of public servants with a subjective arbitrary interpretation of the latest provisions of the law. "Low-quality" regulation of the provisions of the activity of public servants to exercise power over the admission to municipal passenger transportation has a negative impact not only on the implementation of passenger rights (of various categories), but also provision of the public interest, and contributes to the formation of a national threat with a "corrosive" sign of power within administrative and territorial units, especially the country in general. An integrated approach to clarifying the problems of "municipal passenger transportation" with an emphasis on eliminating corruption risks in the activities of public servants at the stage of exercising their power to admit to transportation, which will contribute to the "quality" of such entities and will form an effective regulatory framework for the relevant component of transport in general, its effective existence, the realization of the public interest and its correlation with the interests of individuals. The purpose of the paper is the justification of the relationship of the "quality" of standardization of the procedure for admission of entities to municipal passenger transportation and corruption risks in the professional activities of public servants, which is related to this area, formulating proposals for their multi-balance ratio to minimize these risks and "qualitative" standardization of the relevant component of passenger transportation and transport relations in general based on the analysis of various sources. The objects of the article are public relations directly related to municipal passenger transportation. The subject of the article is the "quality" of standardization of relations in admission to municipal passenger transportation and its connection with corruption risks in activity of public servants connected with the specified sphere of relations. Methods of research. Both general legal and special methods of scientific cognition were used in research. As the basis, the dialectic method was used, which allowed to reveal problematic issues in dynamics; juridical and logical method allowed to form options for borrowing positive and avoiding negative experience of relevant rulemaking and law enforcement in foreign countries; forecasting and modeling were used for making proposals to strengthen "quality" of standardization of the procedure of admission to municipal passenger transportation in order to eliminate corruption risks in the activities of public servants. Results. Admission to municipal passenger transportation should be considered as a form of public procedure, the subjects of which are servants of local public authorities. Given the specifics of municipal transport in general, any activity associated with its use, objectively anticipates the risks of possible, including illegal, priority satisfaction of private interests of public servants and the interests of relatives during the exercise of the public authority, which causes "corrosion" of public authority. The procedure of admission to the relevant transportation, the "corruption freedom" of which depends on the "quality" of normalization of its provisions, is not an exception. The relationship between the "quality" of legislation and the "corruption risk" of professional activity of public servants, which is associated with the procedure of admission to the services mentioned, is interdependent (the lower the quality of legislation, the higher the risks of "corrosion" of professional activity of public servants and vice versa). In order to improve the "quality" of standardization of the procedure for admission to the transportation and minimize corruption risks in the professional activities of public servants associated with the above procedure, it is appropriate to strengthen the provisions of certainty of the content of relevant legislation, their systematization (including in the form of codification), streamlining the thematic definition series, meaningful consolidation of the principles of transparency, publicity, participation, public-private partnership, guarantee of all elements and admission procedures in general.

This chapter reassesses the quality of police–public relations in the nineteenth century. In contrast to existing accounts, which focus on the gradual dilution of conflict as the century progressed, the chapter argues that conflict and suspicion remained central to public perceptions of the police. It highlights the evidential shortcomings of claims concerning the rise of policing by consent in this period, and uncovers substantial evidence of conflict with the police—from serious violence to indignant complaint—from across urban society. Furthermore, it examines the intellectual content of hostile attitudes towards the police, and thus identifies their roots in popular politics (particularly radical and Chartist politics) and popular culture. Ordinary people displayed considerable respect for the rule of law, yet the police were largely unable to associate themselves with this ideal. Instead, the police struggled to meet public demand for their services, and hence sought to manage public expectations of law enforcement.

A negative trend in power and public relations in Russiain the last year was the decline in public confidence in the authorities. One of the possible reasons for this is the dissatisfaction of citizens with the professional activities of civil servants, the distance of this institution from society. The public service is the main institution for the implementation of the functions of the state. Therefore, one of the important organizational tasks of public administration should be to ensure transparency and social acceptability of the activities of civil servants. Such a tool by its very nature is public control, but the Russian Federationhas not yet developed its legal framework and mechanisms, which determines the low efficiency of this institution of interaction between government and society. Despite a number of regulations adopted recently and aimed at increasing the transparency of public authorities, the desire of state bodies to conceal information from citizens remains. On the basis of the analysis of the forms of public control fixed in normative acts the reasons of its insufficient efficiency are revealed in the article. The authors put forward a number of proposals aimed at the development of the system of public control and designed to contribute, ultimately, to increase the legitimacy of the government as a whole, which is an urgent problem for Russia.

A recent discernible trend towards complication of legislative regulation of public relations and an active role of law-enforcement activity in interpretation of law under conditions of harmonization of the European law dictate the need of consideration of key issues of interrelation of court practice and the legislation not only on the basis of national law, but also taking into account a rich foreign experience. Both the European and the national legal doctrine treat court practice as an independent object of legal research. The issues of judicial rule-making are solved differently in doctrinal researches of various countries, which is caused both by legal traditions of specific system of justice development, and current development needs specific national systems of law. Identification of legal forms of interrelation of law-enforcement practice and the legislation makes it possible to formulate and understand, from the methodology point of view, significant principles and mechanisms of their interaction to determine efficient legal models of development of the legislation and the law-enforcement activity within a legal framework.

This article presents the relevance of values and steps for the formation of ethical principles for the future legal profession. The aim is focused on analysis of formation process of values for a lawyer and police by analyzing law and police study programs. The assessment scale of the public confidence in different law enforcement institutions (courts, the prosecutor's office, police, lawyers) shows that the society is watchful, indifferent and active evaluating the quality of law enforcement institutions as well as behavior of the officials. It means conceptual and consistent formation of values would ensure the efficiency of practical ethical model. Nine law and police study programs of higher schools in Lithuanian and four codes of professional ethics of law enforcement institutions were examined during the research. Also four lecturers were interviewed. The results of the research showed that in Lithuania the provisions of ethics are not taught in all higher schools preparing future lawyers and police officers. The provisions of professional ethics in different areas of lawyer's and police activities are clearly defined in codes of professional ethics as well as in recommendations applying these ethical provisions. However the pragmatic application of ethical provisions would be strengthened studying particular disciplines.

Cash waqf in Indonesia has been long enough implemented based on some rules enacted by government and other rules defined by The Waqf Board of Indonesia (BWI). However, the implementation of cash waqf has not reached the level of success. Therefore, this article studies the application of cash waqf law in Indonesia according to Friedman’s legal system theory. The legal system theory of Friedman firstly looks at the substance of the law, which is the rules or regulations; and secondly it examines the structure of the law, encompassing the law enforcement agencies, such as judge, prosecutor, police and legal counselors. And lastly the theory examines the element of legal culture, which is a response from Muslim society. The first two examinations indicate that there is nothing to be a problem. But from the last examination there is a problem regarding the trust from Muslim society. From the legal culture point of view, the implementation of cash waqf by the government, which is performed by BWI, needs attracting society’s credentials in order to improve and maximize the performance of cash waqf in Indonesia.

The Ombudsman as an external oversight body for official performance, in Fikih Siyasah (constitutionality in Islam) is included in the supervision stipulated in legislation (al-musahabah al-qomariyah). Supervision is done so that public service delivery to the community is in accordance with the rights of the community. This is done because in carrying out its duties, officials are very likely to conduct mal administration, which is bad public services that cause harm to the community. The Ombudsman is an institution authorized to resolve the mal administration issue, in which one of its products is by issuing a recommendation. Although Law No. 37 of 2018 on the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia states that the recommendation is mandatory, theombudsman's recommendations have not been implemented. This is due to differences in point of view, ie on the one hand in the context of law enforcement, but on the other hand the implementation of the recommendation is considered as a means of opening the disgrace of officials. Recommendations are the last alternative of Ombudsman's efforts to resolve the mal administration case, given that a win-win solution is the goal, then mediation becomes the main effort. This is in accordance with the condition of the Muslim majority of Indonesian nation and prioritizes deliberation in resolving dispute. Therefore, it is necessary to educate the community and officials related to the implementation of the Ombudsman's recommendations in order to provide good public services for the community, which is the obligation of the government.
