CORRUPTION IN THE PENAL SYSTEM: CRIMINOLOGICAL ASPECTS

В статье рассматриваются коррупционные проявления в уголовно-исполнительной системе России с криминологической точки зрения, проведен анализ причин и условий совершения коррупционных преступлений и меры профилактики. Приводятся мнения ученых-юристов о понятии коррупции, которое рассматривается как в узком, так и в широком смысле слова. Автором утверждается, что коррупция в большей мере выступает как социальное и криминологическое, чем правовое явление, поэтому рассматривать ее в рамках конкретных совершенных преступлений неверно, необходимо анализировать совокупность противоправных деяний с учетом их особенностей, а также причины и условия их совершения. Автор отмечает, что пенитенциарная преступность делится на две категории: на общеуголовную преступность (преступления, совершаемые осужденными) и иную преступность, основной составляющей которой выступает коррупционная преступность в учреждениях и органах УИС. На основе изучения криминологических научных источников автор предлагает классифицировать факторы совершения коррупционных преступлений сотрудниками УИС: факторы, присущие всем коррупционным преступлениям; и факторы, присущие пенитенциарной коррупции. В представленной статье автором указывается на недостаточность антикоррупционных механизмов. Комплекс предпринимаемых мер противодействия коррупции необходимо совершенствовать и расширять. The article examines corruption manifestations in the Russian Penal System from a criminological point of view, analyzes the causes and conditions of corruption crimes and preventive measures. The opinions of legal scholars on the concept of corruption, the content of the concept of corruption are given, it is considered both in the narrow and in the broad sense of the word. The author argues that Corruption acts more as a social and criminological phenomenon than a legal one, therefore it is not correct to consider it within the framework of specific crimes committed, it is necessary to analyze the totality of illegal acts taking into account their characteristics, as well as the causes and conditions of their commission. The author notes that penitentiary crime is divided into two categories: crimes committed by convicts (ordinary crime) and other crime, the main component of which is corruption crime in institutions and bodies of the criminal justice system. Based on the study of criminological scientific sources, the author proposes to classify the factors of corruption crimes committed by the employees of the Criminal Investigation Department: factors inherent in all corruption crimes; and factors inherent in penitentiary corruption. In the presented article, the author points out the insufficiency of anti-corruption mechanisms. The range of anti-corruption measures taken needs to be improved and expanded.

OPTIMIZED ACTION UNITS FEATURES FOR EFFICIENT DESIGN OF DECEPTION DETECTION SYSTEM

Deception detection is becoming an interesting filed in different areas related to security, criminal investigation, law enforcement and terrorism detection. Recently non-verbal features have become essential features for deception detection process. One of the most important kind of these features is facial expression. The importance of these expressions come from the idea that Human face contain different expressions each of which is directly related to a certain state. In this research paper, facial expressions' data are collected for 102 participants (25 women and 77 men) as video clips. There are 504 clips for lie response and 384 for truth response (total 888 video clips). Facial expressions in a form of Action Units (AUs) are extracted for each frame with video clip. The AUs are encoded based on Facial Action Coding System (FACS) which are 18 AUs. These are: AU 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 20, 23, 25, 26, 28 and 45. Based on the collected data, only six AUs are the most effective and have a direct impact on the discrimination process between liar and truth teller. These AUs are AU 6, 7, 10, 12, 14 and 28

The right of the defense to request an explanation of the accusation during the criminal investigation phase

Pursuant to Article 66 paragraph (2) point 1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the accused has the right to know for what deed he is accused […], i.e. to be informed on the nature and cause of the accusation brought against him. If the person is not properly informed about the accusation, he is deprived of the right to ensure the possibility of preparing and exercising his defense, being seriously affected by the principles of a fair trial, guaranteed by Article 6 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. Although the principle governing the exercise of rights by the accused in criminal proceedings guarantees the use of any means and procedures of defense, except those expressly prohibited by law, some prosecutors are reluctant to defenders’ requests to explain the accusation in criminal proceedings, context in which, in most cases, either declares them inadmissible or considers them unfounded. Such an approach does not reconcile the right to a fair trial; or, the clarity of what is set out in the indictment is also linked to the right of the accused to defend himself – as an indispensable element of the protection of the person against arbitrariness. Therefore, in this study, the authors will come up with pertinent arguments to annihilate the vicious practice of prosecutors to disregard the importance of predictability of the accusation in order to ensure the right to defense, as well as avoiding the conviction of the Republic of Moldova by the European Court for European Convention.

Procedural differences between mutual legal assistance and international informal assistance

Countries around the world face legal impediments when dealing with the recovery of criminal assets - especially developing countries that do not have the resources to deal with the skills and creativity of criminals. The scale of the problem is growing and shows us that a more effective approach is needed to recover stolen funds. There is a perception that ,,international cooperation” in an investigation and recovery of assets refers to international legal assistance - the formal process of requesting assistance from a foreign jurisdiction. However, in practice, there is a step that should be earlier in the process, which is often ignored or forgotten and which is just as important, if not more so. This is mutual administrative assistance, often described only as ,,informal assistance”. Almost all cases of corruption and embezzlement have a significant international dimension, whether it is foreign bank accounts and residences abroad or a chain of transactions circulating in several jurisdictions. To start informal international cooperation, all that is required is for an officer or prosecutor to pick up the phone or email his or her counterpart in another jurisdiction to request assistance in verifying the information to support a criminal investigation. This informal cooperation helps the investigation team to develop a better and more complete picture of the case. It helps them to identify official evidence that may be required from abroad to successfully prosecute and, ultimately, to recover any criminal assets with limited resources at hand
