The paper investigates a novel issue related to the cooperation between special forces units of the penal system and other (special) similar units, namely, the police and the National Guard (including the Special Purpose Mobile Unit and the Special Rapid Response Unit). We note that earlier these units were part of the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The paper presents the results of a study of organizational and legal interaction of the special forces of the penal system with other bodies in the field of law enforcement. We argue that the cooperation between these units has the greatest potential in conducting special operations to prevent emergencies related to hostage-taking, mass riots, and escapes of convicts. We highlight major organizational criteria for interaction between the divisions under consideration. We put forward our own definition of the essence of organizing the interaction between special forces units of the penal system and special units of other agencies in emergency situations taking place in correctional institutions. We describe characteristic features of this interaction. The integration of these features allowed us to formulate a scientific definition of the interaction under consideration in a broad sense. The article analyzes specific features of cooperation between special forces units of the penal system and other bodies; these features involve the establishment of interpersonal contacts between the heads of these units. We emphasize the scientific and organizational principles of interaction, such as balance, mobility, and preparedness. We propose tactical interaction, which consists of an action plan, preliminary training, management decisions and practical actions of the personnel. The paper also presents the results of an empirical study on the integration of special forces units. Key words: interaction; organization and tactics; institutions and bodies of FSIN Russia; law enforcement; special forces of the penal system; other special bodies.

On the basis of the analysis of the state of research of algorithms and programming of investigative activity in criminalistics, the author has grounded the expediency of applying a programmatic approach to solving typical tactical problems in other areas of law enforcement activities. Theoretical prerequisites for the development of procedural action programs by law enforcement entities in Ukraine (criminal and procedural, operative and search, administrative and jurisdictional) have been determined. The necessity of intensifying scientific researches in the direction of development of branch concepts of tactics of different types of law enforcement activities and their constituent elements (the concept of tactics, tactical situation, tactical task, tactical technique and system of tactical techniques and their situational predetermination) has been determined. In particular, the author has determined that the investigator is not the only possible subject of being armed with tactical recommendations in the form of algorithms and programs. The subject matter of the research of criminalistic tactics is not only investigative activity, but also operative and search, judicial and prosecutorial activity in criminal proceedings. Equally important is the tactical completion of administrative activities of law enforcement agencies and, on this basis, the establishment of programs of action by police officers, border guards, National Guard, customs service, etc. in exercising their administrative powers for the protection of public order and state border, actions in emergency situations, administrative cases, etc. The justification of the possibility of applying a programmatic approach within administrative activities of law enforcement agencies is the uniformity of administrative and jurisdictional, criminal and procedural activities, which are covered by a single concept of “law enforcement activity”. It has been established that the programmatic approach can be applied in any sphere of law enforcement activity, if: 1) such activity is situational in nature, and it is possible to perform the tasks arising during the implementation of this activity through consistent implementation of certain actions; 2) there is the need to streamline these activities by providing tactical recommendations in the modern form with the use of computer technologies and the ability to use them directly in the course of action, in “field conditions”; 3) the level of elaboration of theoretical bases of tactics of a specific type of law enforcement activity is sufficient (the concept of tactics, tactical situation, tactical task, tactical technique and system of tactical techniques has been elaborated).

Fundamental documents regarding military leadership and strategic communications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the USA were analysed in the article. It refers to the Development of Military Leadership in the Armed Forces of Ukraine Doctrine, Project of Strategic Communications Doctrine in NGU, Strategic Communications Doctrine (AFU), Army Leadership and the Profession: Army Doctrine Publication No. 6-22, Army Leadership: Competent, Confident, and Agile Field Manual No. 6-22. Based on the analysis that was carried out, it is clarified how military leadership is viewed in the sources mentioned. Thus, Field Manual No. 6-22 �Army Leadership: Competent, Confident, and Agile� defines, that an Army leader is anyone who by virtue of assumed role or assigned responsibility inspires and influences people to accomplish organizational goals. Army Doctrine Publication No. 6-22 �Army Leadership and the Profession� specifies leadership as the activity of influencing people by providing purpose, direction, and motivation to accomplish the mission and improve the organization. In the Doctrine of development of military leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine approved in December, 2020 leadership is considered as deliberate influence of the personnel of different ranks during everyday, official, learning and combat activities, �nd irregular (unusual, emergency) situations on the personnel by means of maintaining trust and respect, giving purpose, directing towards achieving it, providing discipline and motivation for performing tasks as intended and improving the Armed Forces as a social establishment. It is found out that in all above mentioned documents leadership is intertwined with influence and communication that define competencies of a modern military leader. The connection of leadership with strategic communications is considered in the article. The role of command in the creation of military leadership is defined. In particular, since one of the tasks of command within strategic communications is providing leadership of the military, and leadership reveals itself in the process of using effective methods of internal communications, it has been concluded that command is simultaneously a source of creation and tool for leadership . The article states that it seems urgent to raise the question of the definition of the notion of leadership for the National Guard of Ukraine, which would make it possible to define competencies required for the NGU officers. The suggestions regarding viable definition of the notion of leadership for the further validation of the military leadership framework within the National Guard of Ukraine activity are made.

The article is devoted to the experience of the Republic of Kazakhstan in reforming the penal system by transferring it from the law enforcement to the civil block. Taking into account the world experience, the transfer of the penal system to a non-law enforcement structure, including one based on public-private partnership, seemed to be the most promising direction of the planned reform to humanize the domestic penal legislation. The main idea was that a Civil Agency, not associated with the tasks of protecting public order and fighting crime, will be able to ensure the planned implementation of the state policy on reforming the penal system. In 2002, correctional facilities were fully transferred to the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Kazakhstan. But the events that took place further (a number of armed escapes with human victims) actually showed that the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Kazakhstan did not cope with the task assigned to it, and the goal of reforming the penitentiary system was not achieved. By decree of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan (adopted on 26.07.2011) “On the penitentiary system”, the penal system was again transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Today, the penal system in Kazakhstan actually operates autonomously in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not subordinate to other services and departments. At the same time, according to the author, the transfer of the penal system to a Civil Agency will make it possible to increase the openness of this institution. In addition, this step will provide access to the real situation of human rights in places of detention for the public and supervisory authorities. However, domestic and foreign experience shows that the transfer of the penal system to civil departments, its isolation as a separate body does not guarantee its deep humanization and effective system reforms. Being inside the civil department, it actually continues to work on previously established practices, limiting it with cosmetic changes. Therefore, if the purpose of transferring the penal system or its divisions to other bodies is to comply with international standards and reduce criticism of human rights organizations, then this should not be done without a high-quality study. Based on the research, the author comes to the conclusion that in order to implement reforms in the penal system of the Republic of Kazakhstan, it is necessary to: 1) to develop a single comprehensive scientific and practical approach when reforming the penal system; 2) to conduct a qualitative study of the risks that may be associated with decisions taken within the framework of the reform; 3) implementation of foreign and international experience should be carried out only taking into account the specifics of national legislation and the structure of the state’s law enforcement system.

Some essential aspects of the concept of “special forces of operative and search activity” have been revealed, as well as their structural elements have been outlined. Information to clarify the content of the concept of “special forces of operative and search activity” and its certain components has been systematized. The author has studied the interpretation of the relevant components of this term in the literature, as well as taking into account the practical aspects of the organization of operative and search activities. The relevant international experience has been analyzed. Attention has been paid to the fact that only those persons, who cooperate with law enforcement agencies on a confidential basis are logically treated as special forces of operative and search activity. Some aspects of the application of special forces of operative and search activity have been revealed. Emphasis has been placed on ensuring secrecy and confidentiality in the use of special forces of operative and search activity. It has been emphasized that in case of the fulfillment of the tasks of operative and search activity such forces get a special attitude from the law enforcement agencies. The author has attempted to classify such forces, and has defined the attributes relevant to them. Based on the research, the definition of special forces of operative and search activity has been provided – it is a separate category of forces of operative and search activity, which does not belong to the subjects of operative and search activity, but indirectly and on a confidential basis promotes the fulfillment of tasks of operative and search activity and criminal process. The author has substantiated that disclosing party and anonymous author, who provide information on a confidential basis, belong to special forces of operative and search activity.

Pedestrian Simulation

Walking is classified as the oldest transport mode with the least impact on the environment. It is frequently one of the intermediate transport modes. Generally, while designing exclusive walking transit areas or structures with high human traffic volumes and considering different scenarios, it is advantageous to be able to foresee the congestion conditions and the relative problems. The study of pedestrian trajectories, which are strictly related to the characteristics of the walkers, is necessary and preliminary for the purposes of an in-depth analysis linked to the habits of populations and cultures. Often areas crowded by tourists run, of limited size such as bridges, must be considered in advance for emergencies. This article focuses on an old footbridge of Mostar located in a confined area with an increasing tourist flow. The peculiarity of the bridge lies in the double-flight geometry with elements that generate discontinuity in the trajectory as well as the steps. This analysis was carried out obtaining the traffic data from video cameras and analyzing different scenarios on holidays and weekdays. Also, the possible presence of obstacles on the bridge was taken into account, such as some areas not walkable for temporary work or the presence of obstacles. These scenarios have been calibrated and simulated through the definition of O/D matrices, arcs and nodes (or areas) through the pedestrian simulation tool Viswalk. This comparison is useful for understanding the variation of LOS (Level of Service) during the daily or emergency situations and the results can provide help to local authorities to plan and design an appropriate action plan. Therefore, this research work aims to compare scenarios under critical flow conditions in the order to define preventively possible actions that can guarantee an optimal LOS value during the bridge crossing and the surrounding areas.

The article displayed the results of a legal and sociological study of some gender-related problems in the security sector of theMinistry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. A survey of employees of the National Police of Ukraine, the National Guard and the State BorderGuard Service revealed the most relevant phenomena of gender inequality and intolerance in the relationship between women andmen within the scope of their official duties and in everyday life. The study proved the absence of a critical state of gender-related problemsin the security sector of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, not only in the everyday life of employees, but also at theplace of execution of official duties. In particular, almost all of the interviewed employees, women and men, support the opinion aboutequal opportunities in professional development, and more than half of the male law enforcement officers believe that women and menwith the same qualifications will cope with their official duties equally well. Also, the majority of respondents feel quite comfortableworking with female colleagues not only at the same level of subordination, but also under the guidance of female colleagues. At thesame time, 40 % of the women surveyed stated that they and their colleagues face certain forms of discrimination within the securitysector. The overwhelming majority of both men and women counteract sexual harassment among workers in the sector, since half ofthe women surveyed reported their experience of sexual harassment or actions of a sexual nature in public places. That’s why, 80.5 %of men and 94.3 % of women among the polled law enforcement officers support the need to adopt a law that would recognize sexualmisconduct or sexual harassment in public places as a crime. In the families of security sector employees, one in five women experiencedphysical violence by a partner, and 10.3 % of men admitted to having committed it. The role of the experience of primary socializationof security sector employees in childhood in the formation of inadequate gender stereotypes is stated. The necessity of implementationof legal, organizational, personnel, psychological and pedagogical measures for the prevention of gender problems in theactivities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine is substantiated on the basis of an adequate perception of human rights, mutualrespect and tolerance.
