Extremist crimes in modern society pose a serious threat to its further successful development. It is at this point of our development when the danger of this type of crimes is extremely high due to a wide range of factors on an objective basis. However, along with the demand for the study of extremism as a phenomenon from the perspective of philosophy, sociology, religious studies, etc., the dogmatic approach is equally important. Improvement of legislation in the indicated direction acts as a prerequisite for increasing the effectiveness of the fight against extremist manifestations of the radically minded part of society. In this regard, it is essential to define the categories «involvement» and «organization» as crucial in the elements of the crimes, which provide for criminal liability for the crimes of this group. The lack of clarity of both terms directly in the text of the criminal law entailed uncertainty in the emerging judicial and investigative practice, which increasingly begins to assume the regional. One of the ways to overcome this tendency might be the analysis of specific decisions made by the law enforcement officer and the development of concrete recommendations on this basis.

This paper analyzes how formulation policy of lobster seeds smuggling regulated in Indonesian law to optimize the effectiveness of illegal fishing enforcement, considering penal policy is the basis of criminal law operationalization. This research uses both statute approach and conceptual approach as legal research methods to analyze the issued legal problem. Fishery law in Indonesia regulated in Law No. 45 of 2009 amending Law No. 31 of 2004 concerning Fishery, especially Articles 88 and 16 paragraph (1) which cover the formulation policy of lobster seeds smuggling enforcement. This study will be analyzed into three aspects which are the conduct (the criminal offense), criminal liability, and sentencing system. The result shows that law enforcement regarding the smuggling of lobster seeds in Indonesia is ineffective due to the nonexistence of corporate criminal liability in the fishery law and its sentencing system is lack of both the specific minimum penalty regulation and the penal measures as criminal punishment. However, the draft of the fishery law has already set corporate criminal liability; hence it also regulates the penal measures, in the form of secondary sanctions. Nevertheless, instead of enacting the specific minimum penalty, the draft only determined the maximum penalty as well. Keywords: Formulation Policy, Fishery Law, Lobster Seeds Smuggling.

Currently, the economic sector of public relations is characterized by exceptional criminality. One of the main phenomena responsible for this is illegal money cashing. Almost every business entity considers it acceptable and even necessary to resort to various criminal schemes for obtaining unaccounted cash and tax evasion. The very type of this crime has actually become a thriving and profitable business, which consists in providing services for withdrawing funds from legal circulation. While the existing judicial and investigative practice in the issue of countering this phenomenon has not yet developed a clear answer about the need for appropriate qualifications. There are about a dozen articles of the criminal law in which law enforcement officers try to find the correct legal assessment, and at present, article 172 of the Criminal code of the Russian Federation “Illegal banking activities” deserves special attention.

This study aims to obtain similarities and differences regarding legal formulation in online prostitution. Hitherto, prostitution has remained to exist in Indonesian society. In context, the existing perpetrators of prostitution do not peddle conventionally but also virtually, in which online prostitution that gradually increases is a common term that refers to this phenomenon. The current law enforcement against perpetrators of online prostitution performs as the consequence of the national law in which national laws have yet remained to accommodate in criminalizing perpetrators of online prostitution. The criminalization of perpetrators in online prostitution may contrast with the principle of legality so that national laws should accommodate perpetrators of online prostitution regarding their criminal liability. In particular, these national laws should address whether to prohibit the attitude that proliferates online prostitution so that perpetrators of online prostitution should be accountable for their crimes. Henceforth, this measure intends to avoid the overlap of the principle of legality in criminal law. Keywords: Online Prostitution, Criminal Liabilities, Principle of Legality.

The article examines the criminal-legal aspects of the actual problem of protecting the inviolability of the individual from the unacceptable activity of state representatives in the exercise of law enforcement functions. Topical issues for theory and practice of the legal nature of the provocation of crime and the falsification of criminals remain debatable. There are no unified approaches to the qualification of provocative and inflammatory actions and cases of "throwing" objects to citizens, for the turnover of which criminal responsibility arises, there is no theoretical justification for the criminal legal status of persons provoked to commit a crime. The article shows that the qualification of common cases of provocation of crimes and falsification of criminals according to the norms providing for liability for abuse of official authority, falsification of evidence or the results of operational investigative activities should be recognized as not accurate. At the same time, responsibility for these actions committed by subjects who are not officials, and without the participation of the latter, has not been established at all. The author proposes a draft criminal law provision providing for liability for inducing to commit a crime or its staging in order to illegally create grounds for criminal prosecution. The paper questions the approach according to which a person provoked by law enforcement officers to commit a crime is not subject to criminal liability regardless of the specifics of the encroachment.

The author analyzes the practice of applying this corpus delicti and notes two trends. The first is tounjustifiably expand the range of acts for which criminal liability arises. This practice does not find support inthe theory of criminal law and causes outrage in society. To overcome this problem, the Supreme Court gaveexplanations, according to which, for the imputation of the composition under consideration, it is necessaryto establish a number of circumstances, in addition to the fact of placing an image or text on the Internet. Thesecond trend of law enforcement practice unites cases of a more thoughtful approach, when a whole complexof circumstances is taken into account to solve the issue of the composition of the composition. Examples aregiven when, prior to the relevant clarifications of the Supreme Court in law enforcement practice, ideas wereexpressed about the need to analyze all the circumstances of the deed, in particular, the targeted orientationof the placement of materials. This led to the conclusion that the Supreme Court did not formulate new rules,but pointed to an approach that is the only true one in the light of the principle of subjective imputation.The author argues that not every dissemination of material can be recognized as aimed at inciting hatred orenmity from someone, or humiliating dignity. It is necessary, with the help of a number of signs, to determinewhich particular idea the person broadcast.

Practical value. Based on the research results, specific proposals addressed to domestic parliamentarians have been developed, which can be taken into account in the process of further lawmaking in terms of updating relevant provisions of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. It is argued that the improved Art. 240-1 should only cover illegal mining of amber. The main structure of the researched criminal offense is proposed to be designed as material. It has been proven, including through references to specific law enforcement materials, that sanctions of Part1 of Art. 240-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine should provide for a fine as the only non-alternative main type of punishment, while referenced to alternative punishments in the form of a fine and imprisonment should be included in Parts 2 and 3.

Protecting the rights of stock market participants in the modern world is an important aspect of its functioning, ensuring the security of investments of participants and their property status. The misuse of insider information with the aim of obtaining certain benefits, and market manipulation are some of the most ambitious crimes that violate the rights of a wide range of people, and a direct threat to their material well-being. Insider trading involves trading transactions with securities, which is carried out by private individuals, holding information about the Issuer of the financial asset. In this work, we use methods of legal statistics that allow us to obtain quantitative data on the application of liability for violations of anti-insider Russian legislation. In addition, a comparative legal method is used to comparatively characterize measures to combat insider activity in the world. The purpose of the research is to identify the shortcomings of the modern criminal law mechanism for countering insider activity in the Russian securities market and develop measures to improve its effectiveness. The criminal law regulation of insider information in the world and domestic experience are analyzed. As a result of the study, a number of shortcomings inherent in this mechanism were identified. Thus, the study of foreign practice has shown that the existing measures in Russia to combat insiders in the securities market are not effective. This is due to many factors, the main of which are the imperfection of the legal framework, the lack of practical application of criminal penalties, their low effectiveness, the lack of specific penalties, etc. The article highlights the problems of administrative and criminal liability for market manipulation and illegal use of insider information. The article analyzes the criminal law regulation of mitigating liability for insider information in the world and domestic experience.Based on the analysis and comparison of Russian and international practices in the fight against insiders, conclusions are drawn about the need to adjust the domestic monitoring mechanism and improve criminal law methods to ensure its functioning.The article actualizes the problems of administrative and criminal liability for the manipulation of the market and the misuse of insider information.
