Ecocriminology is one of the youngest research interests in the penal sciences. It is lectured in many renowned universities around the world, and since 2019, also in the Police Academy in Szczytno. The author presents the achievements in this fi eld, indicating its practical usefulness for law enforcement agencies, in particular in identifying organised forms of economic crime. These forms include smuggling and illegal trade in protected species of fl ora and fauna (so-called CITES crimes), smuggling and illegal trade in wastes, seizure of properties of particular value to the world’s natural heritage, land, water and air pollution, corruption, etc. The study has been enriched with a research part, in which the author presents the opinions of students—police offi cers of the Police Academy—on the educational activities in ecocriminology.

Computer Fraud

Cybercrime is clearly linked with financial relations: for some, it is profit, for others – expenses or big losses. The article contains the research of the essence, causes, conse-quences and counteraction to computer fraud in Ukraine and countries of the world, as well as research of financial flows that accompany these processes. However, the authors tried to analyze quantitatively and qualitatively the dynamics of cybercrimes. It also focus-es on bodies that provide cybersecurity and normative legal documents in this area. The authors concluded that cybersecurity in Ukraine has not been sufficiently developed yet, which requires adopting the experience of cybercrime prevention in the advanced countries of the world and enhanced cooperation between international law enforcement agencies.

Models of formation and development of anti-corruption institutions are analyzed in thearticle. The modern anti-corruption bodies of state power that exist in Germany, Hungary, Finland,Albania, Romania, Lithuania and Latvia are considered.It has been found that in most European countries specialized anti-corruption bodies have beenestablished as an important element of the anti-corruption strategy. The author analyzes the experienceof developing anti-corruption institutions in Lithuania, Romania, Finland, Norway, Germany, Albaniaand others. and found that in Europe there is no one universal model of the anti-corruption body. Theanalysis showed that there are similar law enforcement agencies, corruption prevention services, anticorruptionstrategy management, and multi-purpose organizations. In some countries, several anticorruptionagencies have been set up, and several such institutions can deal with both corruption andother issues. Romania's experience with the implementation of the National Anti-Corruption Directorate,which includes not only exposing corruption but also investigating corruption offenses, is effective.Based on the analysis of the system of anti-corruption institutions in European countries,it should be noted that there are three models of formation and development of anti-corruptioninstitutions, in particular:1) there are no specially created anti-corruption institutions, and the functions of preventingand combating corruption are delegated to law enforcement and / or judicial bodies;2) which established a single anti-corruption institution;3) in which the system of anti-corruption bodies of state power operates.Ukraine belongs to the third model, because in our country a system of state authorities isestablished and operates, which implement state policy in the sphere of combating corruption.

Exploiting the benefits afforded by the Internet, violent extremists have created and utilised a myriad of online platforms (e.g., websites, forums, blogs, social media) that have abetted and enhanced their recruitment campaigns across the world. While the idea of countering violent extremists' online presence is a matter of considerable security interest, the paucity of research analysing the persuasiveness of their online platforms to certain target audiences impedes law enforcement agencies' capability to deal with them. There is a need to understand why their online platforms are so persuasive to certain target audiences. Focusing on these online platforms, this chapter will examine the features of these platforms that enhance the appeal of violent extremist messages.

The Impact

The issues of the general reasons for the existence of the shadow economy and the factors that determined its enormous scale in the contemporary realities of the economic system of Kazakhstan are the subject of consideration of many researchers. However, the authors try to evaluate the results of development programs and the activity of bodies contributing to the modernization of economic policy aimed at structural changes in the policy of counteracting the shadow economy, which have been previously considered ambiguously. The main attention of the authors is given to the study of the phenomenon of ‘shadow economy’ as a special segment of a market economy, as well as to the development of practical recommendations for minimizing the disruptive mechanism’s consequences of shadow activity in the post-socialist period. The impact of the shadow economy on the financial and economic development and security of Kazakhstan are comprehensively studied for understanding the scales of the phenomenon. The authors analyze anthropological factors associated with the contradictory nature of man, economic factors inherent in the market economy and distortions in the state tax policy, insufficient saturation of the market with goods and services, imbalance between various spheres and sectors of the national economy, and low purchasing power of the population. The focus is made on legal factors that have arisen due to the imperfection of the legislative framework and coordination mechanism for combating economic crime, the insufficient activity of law enforcement agencies in the sphere of suppression of illegal and criminal economic activity. The main reasons for the permanent strengthening of shadow activity in the modern economy of Kazakhstan are identified in their direct interrelation with the features of the national model of economic reform. These reasons include: the insecurity of small and medium private property rights from the arbitrariness of the state, the illegal nature of privatization, the dominance of monopolies in the economy and the repressive nature of taxation, etc. These factors have generated not only the traditional shadow activity in Kazakhstan, but the other forms have appeared: labor activity without official registration; manipulations with securities issued by ‘quasi-private’ structures; forceful elimination of competition by regulatory and law enforcement agencies in favor of certain companies and the export of capital from the country according to offshore schemes and technologies, etc. The results of the study on the degree of influence of the features of reforming the Kazakhstani economy on the development of shadow activity make a certain contribution to the study of the phenomenon of the shadow economy in Economic Science. The situation with the spread of the pandemic has once again demonstrated the scale of the shadow economy, the level of corruption of power structures and the steady growth of shadow capital in the country.

Economic Nature

Criminal analysis in law enforcement agencies’ work has been around for many years. Initially, it was used by police offi cers in a nonformalised way, its main purpose being to try to understand and systematise crimes. Attempts to draw conclusions from the collected data contributed to greater effectiveness of the detection process. Nowadays, the need for effi ciency in processing the increasing amount of data, and the far-reaching professionalisation of criminal groups have resulted in the fact that criminal analysis is no longer a cure-all for a lack of thinking, but an indispensable tool in the effective fi ght against crime. Considering the above, the article presents the need for the effective use of criminal analysis in combatting mainly organised crime of an economic nature.
