In the article a number of Laws of Ukraine are analysed, which are the basis for the development of sub-normative legal acts in the field of informational and informational–analytical activities of the National Police of Ukraine, in order to establish a connection between the legal norms and the social relations that are regulated. It is accordingly one of the aspects that will contribute to achieving the highest possible level of law and order in society. As a result of the research, the underlying Laws and Derivatives (Laws based on the fundamental and specific provisions) in this area have been identified. It is proven that realisation and strict observance of the considered legislative norms in the field of informational and informational–analytical support of the activities of the National Police of Ukraine will help to bring the standards of this type of activity to the relevant standards of law enforcement bodies of European states, to ensure effective interaction between separate units of both the National Police of Ukraine, and between the National Police and other law enforcement agencies of Ukraine and European states, and it will also help to build the trust of the European community in the activities of the National Police, which is an extremely important criterion for assessing the activities of law enforcement agencies in Ukraine.

Ukrainian law enforcement agencies are undergoing a long-term transformation from a system of punitive law enforcement agencies to European-style law enforcement agencies, which should focus on providing services to the population and respecting human rights. One of the areas of the reform was the introduction of the Detective project in the National Police of Ukraine. It should be noted that detective work in Ukraine is a new type of professional activity. However, it should be noted that legal regulation of detective work of both civil servants (law enforcement detectives) and private detectives is absent in Ukraine, although in many countries around the world private detective work is legalized and benefits society. The adoption of the Law "On Private Detective Activity" will allow to establish proper state control over this type of activity at the legislative level and will legalize private detective activity, which is actually carried out, is in demand and recognized by society. However, there is an indisputable opinion in Ukraine that law enforcement activities can be performed exclusively by state structures. And the introduction and operation of private detectives will put an end to the state monopoly in this direction. However, there are also positive points: first of all, several thousand private detective agencies and private detectives must come out of the shadow, pay taxes, report to the police about criminal offenses that are being prepared or committed, provide intelligence, etc. Based on the above, we conclude that legislative regulation of such activities is required for the full work of police and private detectives, including amendments to the Criminal Procedural Code of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine "On Investigative Activities", departmental orders and instructions, in particular, to the Instruction on the organization of interaction of pre-trial investigative agencies with other agencies and units of the National Police of Ukraine in preventing criminal offenses. detection and investigation, approved by the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine dated from July 7, 2017, No. 575.

Domestic Violence Prevention

The research object is social relations emerging in the process of the prevention of assault and torture as manifestations of donmestic violence. The research subject is the crime prevention legislation, administrative responsibility laws, federal and regional program-targeted documents regulating the sphere of domestic violence, and theoretical insights into this topic. The purpose of the research is to analyze regional tendencies of legal regulation of the prevention of assault and torture, as a part of the system of domestic violence prevention in Russia. To achieve this goal and research tasks, the author uses general scientific (analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction) and specific research methods, with the formal-legal method as a basic one, which is connected with the analysis of legal regulations in their system unity. The scientific novelty of the research is proved by the fact that regional peculiarities of legal regulation of the prevention of assault and torture as a part of the system of domestic violence prevention haven’t been studied sufficiently enough. Assault and torture are the factors signalling about the aggravation of home conflicts and leading to the further escalation. In Russia, municipalities create  a system of measures which includes some or all of the following elements: 1) the formation of public awareness about the domestic violence problem; 2) information and methodology support for the activities of law-enforcement agencies and social services responsible for the prevention of domestic violence; 3) the provision of interaction between medical institutions and law-enforcement bodies and social services; 4) the introduction of punishment for home rowdyism and the provocation of home conflicts.

Problem setting. In Ukraine, police reform has introduced a fundamentally new direction for the development of policing in line with European standards and the implementation of European law, however, like any adaptation process, this step causes many problems and shortcomings, which are reflected in the practice of law enforcement, so there is a strong need to analyse the regulatory framework governing the activities of the National Police, to outline its major shortcomings and to suggest possible ways of improvement. Target of research. The purpose of the study is searching for deficiencies in the field of the current legislation regulating police activities in Ukraine, providing practical recommendations to improve the regulatory component in the functioning and administration of police bodies. Analysis of recent researches and publications. The following scientists analyse issues of organization of police activities, the nature and importance of regulatory support for the management of national police in their researches: K. Buhaichuk, S. Chyryk, V. Kryzhanovskaya, D. Overchenko and others. Article’s main body. One of the primary problems remains the low level of qualification of national police officers. Analysing the division of the police system into organizational and managerial level (consists and is implemented in the activities of leading subjects of national police) and the level of direct implementation (here is the activity of such entities as police inspectors, patrol officers), we note that the state of incompetence is clearly expressed at both of these levels. Another problem faced by national police bodies is their workload, primarily as an example of activities in the field of the permit system, where the police are vested with the authority concerning: – registration and issuance of appropriate permits, – keeping records of the permit system objects, – implementation of prevention of violations of the permit system, – interaction with public and state bodies, – conducting accounting statements, etc. In addition, the problem of interaction between police authorities remains quite relevant. The low level of interaction between national police units is explained by the existence of two categories of employees. The first category includes the so-called former police officers who passed the certification examination and took office in the national police, the second category – represents fundamentally different subjects, even those who have never connected their lives with law enforcement activities and entered the police, immediately after the adoption of the Law of Ukraine «On the National Police». Conclusions and prospects for the development. The main task of public administration of police activities is a well-established control system, since the police system is too loaded, devoid of transparency, there is a problem of incompetence of police personnel, due to the too soft requirements for acquiring a status of a police officer, urgently needed to introduce new mechanisms elimination of gaps and shortcomings in the legal support of law enforcement agencies, which should be based on foreign experience, which in practice is confirmed was the effectiveness of the existence of a police rule.

The article deals with the research of the issues of pension provision for police officers as a component of their social security. Since the category of police employees is new to Ukraine, its significance for labour law and, accordingly, the value of the police for the society, whose citizens they protect, has been characterized. An analysis of statutory acts regulating the pension provision for law enforcement bodies' employees has been carried out. The concept of a seniority pension for police officers has been defined as a monthly payment from the Pension Fund of Ukraine intended to compensate for lost pay and allowances and granted upon resignation for the purpose of maintaining living standards of citizens having the seniority of a specified duration in law enforcement bodies, the National Police, the Court Protection Service, the State Fire Protection Service, the State Service of Ukraine for Special Communications and Information Protection, bodies and divisions of the Civil Protection Service, the Tax Police or the State Penitentiary Service of Ukraine, whose occupational incapacity is presumed to set in before they reach the retirement age established by law for awarding an old-age pension. The author proposes the adoption of a new law on pensions precisely for police officers. For in contrast to the definition of Militia (the name the police were called in the Soviet Ukraine and during a number of the post-Soviet years) as an armed body of the executive branch, the Law of Ukraine "On the National Police" defines the police as a central body of the executive branch that serves the society by ensuring the protection of human rights and freedoms, combating crime, maintaining public security and order. According to the author, the legal regulation of the pension provision for servicemen and police employees by a single statutory act (law) does not correspond to the realities of today. Conclusions have been formulated on supplementing the Law of Ukraine "On the National Police" with the provision that restrictions of guarantees of social and legal security of the law enforcement bodies' employees shall not be allowed when adopting laws and bylaws, as well as when making decisions by law enforcement agencies of the state. Special attention has been paid to calculating the amount of police officers' seniority pension. The procedure for determining the amount of pension depending on the length of service has been analysed. The author believes that lowering the limit of the seniority pension for law enforcement bodies' employees, including police employees, initially from 90 down to 80 per cent and then from 80 down to 70 per cent of their pay and allowances is a violation of the Constitution of Ukraine. Constitutional rights and freedoms are guaranteed by the state and cannot be revoked when adopting new laws or amending existing ones. No narrowing of the content and scope of existing rights shall be allowed. The author proposes to work out a new Procedure for recalculating pensions granted to police officers. Outdated statutory acts governing the procedure for recalculating pensions granted to law enforcement bodies' employees contain controversial provisions, have conflicting points, do not comply with the Constitution of Ukraine and the realities of today, and are therefore subject to repeal.

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.

Sexual assault is a violent crime that traumatizes individual victims and endangers entire communities. Every victim of sexual assault deserves an opportunity for justice and access to the resources they need to recover from this trauma. In addition, many perpetrators of sexual assaults are serial offenders who also commit other violent crimes, including armed robberies, aggravated assaults, burglary, domestic violence, and homicides, against strangers and acquaintances. Criminal justice agencies have the power to create a strategic, sustainable plan for an improved response to sexual assault that aligns with current best practices and national recommendations. In this document, we define an “improved response” as an approach that supports effective investigation and prosecution of sexual assault cases, holds perpetrators accountable, and promotes healing and recovery for victims of sexual assault. This guide will help prosecutor and law enforcement agencies create a process with milestones, goals, and suggested actions, all designed to support a successful and sustainable approach for addressing sexual assault cases. Improving the criminal justice system’s response to sexual assault ultimately improves public safety and promotes trust between criminal justice agencies and the communities they serve.

The article is devoted to defining the concept and methods of interaction of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine with other law enforcement a. The meaning of the concept of "methods" is revealed. It is proposed to understand the methods of interaction of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine with other law enforcement agencies as a set of tools used by these entities within the current legislation to organize and maintain relations between them to ensure border security, prevent smuggling, illegal migration and transnational crime. Features of such administrative methods of management as regulatory, administrative and normative are considered. It is noted that regulatory methods take place in the interaction of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine with other law enforcement authorities. It is determined that persuasion as a universal method of management in the interaction of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine with other law enforcement authorities is absent, and an example of the method of coercion is liability for non-compliance with acts of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. Such organizational methods in interaction of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine with other law enforcement authorities as planning, forecasting, method of information support, method of decision making, methods of organizing the implementation of decisions and monitoring their implementation, methods of instructing and work with personnel are singled out. Emphasis is placed on economic methods in the interaction of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine with other law enforcement authorities. The results of the survey show the problems in the use of methods of legal regulation, prohibitions, coercion, coordination, control in the management of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, which affect the effectiveness of its interaction with other law enforcement authorities and should be studied separately.
