New types of criminal groups are emerging in modern society.  These types have their special criminal subculture. The research objective is to develop new parameters of classification of modern criminal groups, create a new typology of criminal groups and identify some features of their subculture. Research methodology is based on the system approach that includes using the method of analysis of documentary sources (materials of a criminal case), method of conversations with themembers of the criminal group, method of testing the members of the criminal group and method of observation. As a result of the conducted research, we have created a new classification of criminal groups. The first type is a lawful group in its form and criminal according to its content (i.e., its target is criminal enrichment). The second type is a criminal organization which is run by so-called "white-collars" that "remain in the shadow". The third type is traditional criminal groups.  The fourth type is the criminal group, which openly demonstrates its criminal activity.

One of the important factors in the development of our state is a student exchange with other countries. This type of international cooperation not only contributes to the establishment of a positive image of Ukraine and the strengthening of business and friendly relations with other states, but also produces a significant positive impact on the development of domestic education and science, enriches the state budget for foreign exchange earnings from abroad. But along with the positive results of international student exchange programs, there are negative ones. The situation in the sphere of international student exchange programs is characterized by criminalization, the rapid spread and active transformation of various schemes of criminal activity, which, among other things, poses a threat to the national security of Ukraine. During the detection and pre-trial investigation of these crimes, a number of problems arise. A significant part of them is related to the use of the institute of covert investigative (search) actions and the corresponding operational and investigative measures. One of these actions is the performance of a special task to disclose the criminal activity of an organized group or criminal organization, provided for by Art. 272 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine. In the practical implementation of the provisions of this article to detect and investigate crimes in the sphere of international student exchange program, a number of legal and organizational issues arise that require a scientific solution. The purpose of this article is to identify the issues of using the execution of a special task to disclose the criminal activities of an organized group or a criminal organization in uncovering a pre-trial investigation of crimes in the sphere of international student exchange, and suggest their solutions. This study found that ensuring the effectiveness of the execution of a special task to disclose the criminal activities of an organized group or a criminal organization in the fight against crimes in the sphere of international student exchange program needs to improve the legislative and subordinate normative and legal regulation of this operational and investigative activities and the corresponding covert investigative (search) actions. The organization of the execution of a special task within the framework of counteracting crimes in the sphere of international student exchange program shall: on the one hand, be based on the provisions adopted in theory and practice of operational investigative activity, and on the other, take into account the specifics of organized criminal activity in this sphere. It is necessary to take into account the specific type of criminal formation, among which we distinguish the following: a) transnational criminal groups; b) transnational criminal groups that specialize in trafficking Ukrainian citizens to other countries; c) transnational criminal groups that specialize in the illegal deprivation of liberty of foreigners who have arrived in Ukraine to receive higher education, extorting ransom for their return, their labor and other exploitation; d) transnational criminal groups that specialize in smuggling objects and substances prohibited for free circulation, as well as cultural property; e) transnational criminal groups with a terrorist orientation; f) Ukrainian criminal corruption groups; g) criminal groups formed in Ukraine on an ethnic basis with the participation of foreign students; h) other criminal groups formed in Ukraine with the participation of foreign students.

Ethnic criminal groups are particularly dangerous today, as they are transnational in nature and difficult to detect. The increase in the number of ethnic criminal groups is due to social, economic and political instability, as well as the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is important in this aspect to identify the socio-psychological portrait of the leader of an ethnic criminal group, which directs the actions and is the driving force behind the activities of ethnic criminal groups. The leader of ethnic criminal groups is characterized by a set of social and psychological qualities: a high level of initiative and activity, organizational experience, interest in achieving group goals, awareness of group affairs, camaraderie, personal attractiveness, high prestige and authority in the group. The main socio-psychological characteristics of leaders of ethnic criminal groups are the following characteristics: social origin, worldview and main motives of criminal activity, general characteristics of the offender, personal characteristics (main qualities of the offender, psychological type, presence of syndromes, individual characteristics, relationships in the social group). emotional characteristics, logic of thinking), general characteristics of a successful criminal. A clear definition of the leader of an ethnic criminal group, taking into account its socio-psychological characteristics will ensure the successful work of law enforcement agencies in the fight against organized crime. Counteracting and detecting crimes committed by ethnic criminal groups requires a detailed study of the socio-psychological characteristics of leaders and members of such criminal groups.

The article highlights certain aspects of the discussion on the topic of reductionism vs. holism in the philosophy of medicine. Classic radical reductionism is defeated by the concept of emergence. The s.c. bio-medical point of view on a malady, despite its relevance and clear benefit, is not recognized as universal as its adherents may claim, and it yields to an integral psycho-bio-social model. The author introduces a new classification of holism (vitalistic, social and individualistic) and makes appropriate recommendations to clinicians. It is social holism at the macro level that has proven effective in combating the spread of COVID-19.
