In article authors investigate questions of the operating legal regulation of coordination of economic activity of independent economic entities, including questions of its legisla- tive definition and signs. Article contains the detailed analysis of the most interesting examples of judicial practice and practice of antimonopoly authorities on the matter. Authors, analyzing the current legal regulation, also give an assessment to the planned changes in the legislation in this part and state the point of view about dependence of legal assessment of actions of the coordinator and the economic entities coordinated by it on operating conditions of commodity markets on which it is carried out. As a result of a research authors drew a conclusion on need of legislative changes in a part of admis- sibility of the forbidden coordination provided that the advantage for consumers of such coordination exceeds negative effects for the competition.A significant amount of works of the modern scientists and experts investigating a per- spective of institutes of the antitrust law is devoted to questions of legal qualification of coordination of economic activity of independent economic entities in legal scientific literature.The matter was also raised in publications and authors of the "Rossiyskoye Konkurent- noye Pravo I Ekonomika" magazine, at the same time, it should be noted that to consid- eration of questions of coordination of activity smaller attention is paid, than, for ex- ample, to questions of cartels.Thus, degree of scientific readiness of the matter in general is rather high, at the same time to authors the relevance of this subject and need of the analysis and assessment of the operating regulation taking into account economic features of the present stage of development of the markets seems to be of high interest.

This article analyzes the relevant legislation, identifies the basic criteria for defining the concept of the civil service of other types in the Russian Federation, and describes the current state of its legal regulation. The service of other types is carried out in the federal-state bodies and organizations subordinate to them; such organizations perform special functions to ensure security, law and order, combat crime and protect citizens’ rights and freedoms. The author identifies the reasons for the abolition of such a concept as “law enforcement service” in the civil service systems and considers the process of its transformation into a new segment within this system. Based on the conducted comparative analysis of legislative and subordinate legal acts containing relevant regulatory provisions, the analysis shows that today the civil service of other types is carried out in state bodies defined as law enforcement agencies. To reflect the current state of legal regulation for the civil service of other types, the author notes an increase in the corresponding legislative framework in recent years. The issues of legal regulation of work in the field of civil service of other types are worked out in special laws regarding employees of customs authorities, internal affairs bodies, the federal fire service, the criminal justice system, and enforcement bodies. In addition, the article outlines the key priorities for further improvement of legal regulation.

Due to the deterioration of modern family and domestic crime indicators against the background of the ongoing social crisis caused by the pandemic of a new coronavirus infection, there is a need for additional study of factors affecting the occurrence and dynamics of family and domestic crimes in order to determine modern ways to prevent such manifestations and minimize their socially dangerous consequences. Based on the analysis of the current state of crime in the context of family and domesticrelations, the article formulates approaches to the problems of prevention of domestic violence. Special attention should be paid to the problems of preventing domestic crimes not only by legal but also by societywide measures aimed at weakening and neutralizing the causes and conditions of criminalization of the modern family and domestic relations in general at the current stage of the development of society. The article substantiates the need to improve the main directions of countering modern crimes in the sphere of domestic relations, as well as to improve the forms and methods of activities of public organizations and law enforcement agencies, including Internal Affairs Bodies, especially district police commissioners, aimed at preventing family and domestic crimes and minimizing their consequences.

The article considers methods of analysis of criminological significant information, which are used in modern criminological science. Based on the analytical study, it was concluded that at the current stage of the development of criminological science, regression (as a type of mathematical method), factor (causal), and monitoring criminological analysis are most often used. These methods of criminological analysis were analyzed, their advantages and disadvantages were determined, their recommendations for their application in criminological science were given. It was established that the use of regression analysis is not found in many criminological studies, but today this direction has been updated due to the increase in crime rates both in Ukraine and in the world. However, in criminology, this direction is now one of the promising in the formation of crime prevention measures. It has been proved that most often this type of criminological analysis is used as monitoring. It is quite often used in criminological research by analyzing statistical reporting, which is publicly available to law enforcement agencies (in particular, on the official website of the Office of the Prosecutor General). In this regard, science identifies types of monitoring analysis, which is most often used in our country.

The article discusses the current state of the law enforcement public service legislation. It is noted that the development of the legal regulation of law enforcement service over the past decade shows that legislators don’t understand to the full extent its specificity and differences from other types of public service. The author criticizes the refusal to use the term “law enforcement service” in the Federal Law “On the public service of the Russian Federation”, according to author´s opinion the service at specific positions in law enforcement service has a number of features in comparison with civil and military service and is characterized by a certain internal unity. The article compares approaches to the legal regulation of service at certain positions in different law enforcement agencies. The author notes that taken in recent years legislative acts concerning the service in law enforcement agencies mostly contain overlapping rules. This situation violates one of the principles of legal technique - maximum economy of norms in the presentation of legal regulations, prevention of their repetitions.

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.

A significant leap in the development of information technology over the past twenty years has made the global legal community respond to new challenges that have come along with the progress in the digital environment. Together with the convenience of using electronic resources, society has developed a need for a simple and understandable legislative regulation of legal relations arising from the use of computer information technologies and various products of electronic digital activity in order to protect their interests potentially. The concept and types of electronic evidence in civil proceedings in different countries have different meanings. Meanwhile, the regulations of their procedural admissibility and applicability differ. The common thing is the tendency towards an increase in the use of electronic information carriers in court proceedings, increasing importance for establishing specific facts, and the decisive evidentiary role in making decisions by the court. India became one of the first countries to realize the growing level of implementation of Internet technologies, electronic digital storage media, and computer dominance in society and the state's daily life [1] (Artemyeva, Y.A. et al.). The consequence of this understanding was the timely development and implementation of the substantive and procedural bases in evidence law for practical, understandable, and convenient use of electronic evidence in civil proceedings. The article examines the types and procedural status of electronic evidence and analyzes the current legislation and law enforcement practice in the admissibility and application of electronic evidence in civil proceedings in India. The study identifies the existing system of electronic evidence in the legal field of India, the determination of the advantages and disadvantages in the gathering, presentation, research, and evaluation of electronic evidence by the court in civil proceedings, as well as the identification of the procedural order for their provision. The researchers have identified the following tasks to achieve the goals: • to define and research the legislation of India governing the concept, types and procedural order of applicability and admissibility of electronic evidence in civil proceedings in India; • to develop a particular procedural order for the effective use of the institution of electronic evidence in civil litigation in India; • to identify the current trends in the gathering, presentation, research, and evaluation of electronic evidence in India's courts, based on the established judicial practice study. The research methodology is based on general theoretical and scientific methods of cognition, including abstraction and specification, analysis and synthesis, modeling and comparison, and systemic, logical, and functional analyzes. The scientific novelty of the research consists of a comprehensive study of the instruments of legal regulation of the institution of electronic evidence in India's legal field, including regulatory legal acts and judicial precedents, and a consideration of the possibility of applying Indian approaches in the jurisdictions of other countries. The analysis of legislation and jurisprudence regarding electronic evidence in India's civil proceedings was carried out using the synergistic principle of object study, statistical-sequential analysis, and empirical research method. This study's results can be used in lawmaking to develop and improve regulations regarding the procedural status and use of electronic evidence in civil litigation in any country. The reference, citation, and use of this article's conclusions and materials are permissible when conducting lectures and seminars on civil procedure and private international law, research activities, law enforcement practice, and teaching.

The issue of post-mortem examination of animals, whose death occurred as a result of suffered gunshot wounds, is very rarely discussed in literature, most often on the occasion of researching into and describing other problems. This article presents an attempt to bring together the achievements of veterinary forensics in this area. As a starting point, the current legal regulation was adopted, pointing to penal sanctions resulting from the illegal use of weapons in relation to animals. Subsequently, the possibilities of using modern imaging techniques in post-mortem examinations carried out by veterinarians at the request of law enforcement agencies were presented. The scientific reports discussed herein have been supplemented by examples of sectional examinations carried out at the request of law enforcement agencies in Polish scientific institutions. The article indicates that the results of examination of gunshot wounds suffered by people in various circumstances may be used for the purpose of issuing forensic veterinary opinions, just as the results of examination of gunshot wounds of large mammals may be helpful in examining the effects of gunshot injuries in humans.
