Interaction is a necessary and important part of the work of the National Police, including in the field of public safety and order. Due to the interaction we achieve the coordination of actions and joint activities of the National Police with other entities. Existing forms and methods of the interaction between the National Police and the public do not meet the current requirements and need to be refined or finding new forms and methods. Therefore, there is the need to conduct a thorough study of the problems of the interaction of the National Police with other entities of ensuring public safety and order. The author of the article has analyzed the importance and legal principles of the interaction of citizens with the police in the field of public order protection and combating crime. The concepts and forms’ types of the specified interaction have been defined. It has been concluded that there is a lack of scientific research focused on the problems of the interaction of the National Police with the public in the field of public safety and order, in particular on finding its new forms. To achieve this purpose, the author has revealed the essence of the interaction of the National Police with the public in the field of public safety and order, their relations, as well as has defined the classification of forms of the interaction of the National Police with citizens and their associations in the field of public safety and order. The scientific novelty of the study is that it improves the understanding of the nature and types of forms of the interaction between the National Police and the public in the field of public safety and order. Summarizing the above, we can conclude that the effective implementation of the authorities in the field of public safety and order by the National Police of Ukraine requires the establishment of effective interaction with citizens and public associations. The author has offered some new forms of the interaction between the National Police and the public for the implementation, the use of which can improve the state of law enforcement and the fight against crime.

Court Hearing

The object of this research is the public relations arising when the prosecutor is involved in court hearing of civil cases by intervening into a case for delivering an opinion in the appellate, cassation and supervisory bodies, as well as problematic aspects of the application of his powers to deliver an opinion in the aforementioned bodies. The subject of this research is the materials of prosecutorial law enforcement and judicial practice, norms of civil procedural legislation of the Russian Federation that regulation these public relations, as well as positions formulated on the matter. Despite the fact, that the scientific literature paid attention to the separate aspects of submission of prosecutorial decision, the questions of submission of prosecutorial decision in the retrial of civil cases did not receive due coverage. Such situation led to a contradictory approach towards the question on possibility of delivering an opinion by the prosecutor in retrial of civil cases in the theory and case law. Therefore, based on the conducted research, the author makes recommendation with regards to exercising prosecutorial powers in submission of decision in retrial of civil cases by the courts, as well as the changes in current legislation that would bring certainty into these legal relations and contribute to elimination of the emerged contradictions.

In the article was investigated the principle of expediency of law interpretation. It is noted that the term “expediency” is close in meaning to the terms “optimality”, “rationality”, “efficiency”. Due to this the principle of expediency is seen in a general way as the principle which requires that the subject should achieve a useful, positive result with applying the optimal set of methods. It is established that the principle of expediency is realized in different branches and institutions of law. Particularly, in the civil procedural law such judicial procedures are based on this principle as examination, storage and provision of evidence, the appointment and realization of expertise, the association and dissociation of claims. It is also noted that the principle of expediency is important in punishing a person, in other words, it is the basis of legal responsibility. In this sphere, it consists in the individualization of punitive measures or punishment depending on the gravity of the offense, taking into account the offender's personality, his welfare and the circumstances of the action. The principle of expediency also means that the chosen measure is relevant to the purposes of responsibility. It is noted that the principle of expediency makes the requirements for conducting different types of legal activity – law-making, law-enforcement, and therefore, it is one of the main principles of law interpretative activity. It is emphasized that the basic idea of this principle is that the act should not be interpreted in the sense which makes it aimless, so, the act cannot be interpreted beyond the purpose for which it was adopted. In the article is also argued that a particular method of setting of a goal of a legal norm is a teleological (purposeful) mean of interpretation. The requirements of the principle of expediency include the aspiration of the public interest and the obligation to apply the verification of interpretative conclusions. The principle of expediency of law interpretation is defined as the interpretative principle, the essence of which is the aspiration of the subject of interpretation to achieve the goal, to obtain a useful, positive result from their activities by using the optimal set of methods for this purpose.

Police is an agency characterized by multi-functionality, to handle civic problems and to fight crime like robbery, murder, etc. As they are among the first ones to respond to an emergency, they have been classified as public safety personnel (PSP) such as medical officials and firefighters. The police personnel struggle hard to handle issues related to law enforcement functions, which consumes the bulk of their time. This paper discusses the main challenges faced by J & K Police officials (In incharge Police posts, Station House Officers and newly recruited Sub-Inspectors) posted in the Jammu region, during COVID-19. Such a study was needed due to the unanticipated situation created by COVID-19 and the unprecedented scale to which it affected people in general and front-line workers in particular. A qualitative approach has been used to present findings. Results show that during COVID-19, J & K police personnel have pursued their day-to-day activities quite zealously. Even if they do not have a day off and cannot celebrate festivals like other people, they are contented with whatever they have been able to do for society at large. Their families are supportive and do understand the toughness of their job, though at times, their preoccupation with a 24 × 7 job puts their personal relations at stake. They have efficient coping strategies. Despite experiencing physical and mental fatigue, they consider serving the nation as their prime duty. Health issues are common, but ignored by them. However, handling the public and keeping them indoors has been the biggest challenge faced by them. Many of them have reported the arrogance of the public, including the educated people, when asked for maintaining social distance and the reasons for coming out. This experience, coupled with extra efforts to be made by them in a crisis situation disheartens them.

Long Term Stability

AbstractLongitudinal clustering techniques are widely deployed in computational social science to delineate groupings of subjects characterized by meaningful developmental trends. In criminology, such methods have been utilized to examine the extent to which micro places (such as streets) experience macro-level police-recorded crime trends in unison. This has largely been driven by a theoretical interest in the longitudinal stability of crime concentrations, a topic that has become particularly pertinent amidst a widespread decline in recorded crime. Recent studies have tended to rely on a generic implementation k-means to unpick this stability, with little consideration for its theoretical suitability. This study makes two methodological contributions. First, it demonstrates the application of k-medoids to study longitudinal crime concentrations, and second, it develops a novel ‘anchored k-medoids’ (ak-medoids), a bespoke clustering method specifically designed to meet the theoretical requirements of micro-place investigations into long-term stability. Using both simulated data and 15-years of police-recorded crime data from Birmingham, England, we compare the performances of k-medoids against ak-medoids. We find that both methods highlight instability in the exposure to crime over time, but the consistency and contribution of cluster solutions determined by ak-medoids provide insight overlooked by k-medoids, which is sensitive to short-term fluctuations and subject starting points. This has important implications for the theories said to explain longitudinal crime concentrations, and the law enforcement agencies seeking to offer an effective and equitable service to the public.

Since the last update on this subject in the British Journal of Psychiatry (Forster, 1988), and the 1986 publication of the reading list from the Section for Social, Community and Rehabilitation Psychiatry, profound changes have been taking place in Britain, and therefore to the context in which the subject has to be considered. Some of these changes were a continuation of a philosophy encouraged in the early 1980s, namely the promotion of individualism and the provision for self, accompanied by the diminution or denial of a societal or welfare approach. In addition, many members of society have been subject to increasing uncertainty in their lives because of the rapid spread of short-term work contracts and part-time work into both the public and private sectors.

В статье рассматриваются основные принципы формирования и трансформации общественного мнения о полиции в гражданской среде, связанные с участием сотрудников правоохранительных органов в мероприятиях, направленных на предотвращение негативных последствий чрезвычайных ситуаций. Рассматриваются объективные риски, возникающие вследствие некорректной трактовки служебных действий сотрудников правоохранительных органов представителями гражданской сферы в условиях ограничения их возможностей с целью минимизации ущерба от чрезвычайной ситуации. Отмечается, что в условиях действия ограничительных мер на период объявления чрезвычайной ситуации усиливается негативное восприятие деятельности сотрудников органов внутренних дел. Оцениваются перспективы, связанные с улучшением социального восприятия полиции в результате освещения самоотверженности и высоких личных качеств сотрудников полиции, с риском для жизни и здоровья участвующих в борьбе с последствиями чрезвычайной ситуации и в спасении гражданского населения. Делается вывод о необходимости использования средств массовой информации как инструмента формирования общественного мнения в целях объективного отражения в общественном сознании россиян профессиональной деятельности работников правоохранительной системы. The paper examines the principles of the formation and transformation of public opinion about the police in the civilian environment, associated with the participation of law enforcement officers in measures aimed at preventing the negative consequences of emergencies. The publication considers the risks associated with the incorrect interpretation of the official actions of law enforcement officials by representatives of the civilian sphere in the context of limiting their capabilities in order to minimize damage from an emergency. The author evaluates the prospects related to improving the social perception of the police through highlighting the disregard of self and high personal qualities of police officers at risk to life and health of those involved in combating the consequences of an emergency and rescuing the civilian population. It is concluded that the media should be used as an instrument for the formation of public opinion in order to objectively reflect the professional activities of law enforcement officials in the public consciousness of Russians.
