The objective of the article is to analyze the main international regulations on overcoming corruption in the police, as well as the laws of Ukraine aimed at combating this phenomenon in the National Police. The theme of the study is the analysis of the legal framework for combating corruption in the police. The research methodology includes the following general and special legal methods: dialectical, logical, system-legal, normative-dogmatic, comparative-legal, and legal modeling method. The results of the investigation indicate the most effective means of combating corruption in the police of the most developed countries. By way of conclusion and with practical significance, Ukrainian anti-corruption legislation against police officers has been shown to be repressive, so it cannot be effective without measures to encourage law-abiding behaviour and the sense of anti-corruption of law enforcement officers. Emphasis is placed on the need to take measures to encourage the anti-corruption behaviour of police officers and to enshrine these provisions in relevant regulations.

The analysis of the peculiarities of the official activity of the employees of the National Police of Ukraine and the normative documents that regulate the organization of tactical training in the system of primary professional training and professional training of police officers is carried out. It was stated that the performance of official duties by police officers is associated with constant contact with various segments of the population. There are many cases of encounters with aggressive people who are intoxicated, mentally unbalanced, etc. When confronted with government officials, citizens are often emotionally agitated and may not always respond adequately to law enforcement. In such situations, the tactical training of police officers is important, which is seen as the formation of special motor skills and abilities aimed at ensuring personal safety in the performance of official duties related to contact with the offender. A thorough study of the situations of practical activity of patrol police officers testifies to the existing problems in the tactical training of law enforcement officers. Erroneous actions of employees are partly explained by insufficient knowledge of external manifestations of threats from the offender, psychological behavior, low level of skills of effective communication with "problem people", the ability to control their own mental state in the performance of official duties related to communication with emotionally aroused individuals, the ability to control the situation and the actions of others without escalating conflict Such conditions increase the requirements for tactical training of personnel. It is established that in the context of the service function of the National Police of Ukraine, tactical training needs to be improved. Based on the elaboration of normative documents and scientific literature, the specifics of tactical training of police officers at different stages of professional training are highlighted. The need to improve the system of police training through further practical orientation was stated. Prospects for further research are the need to substantiate, develop and fill the content of situational tasks, which are used during training sessions on tactical training in the system of police training.

Today, a certain conflict in judicial practice, the current criminal procedural and criminal-executive legislation of Ukraine is the procedure for execution of court sentences related to imprisonment, from the moment they enter into force. At the legislative level, the limits of competence of the National Police officers remain unresolved after the receipt of such a sentence to any police unit and the procedure for their execution. When enforcing a court sentence, law enforcement officers have a number of problems that make it impossible to enforce it, or even inaction is formed on their part. As a result, these factors contribute to convicts evading punishment or committing other crimes at this time. To date, the legislator does not define the competence of the National Police and does not include in its responsibilities the execution of court decisions related to imprisonment. However, when deciding on the determination of the body that will execute such a decision, the judicial institution is guided only at its own discretion or by the materials of the criminal proceedings in which it will be adopted. To solve such problems, it is necessary to correctly determine the procedure for each body to perform its functions. Such decisions cannot be made by the heads of structural subdivisions alone, and therefore this leads to the solution of this problem at the level of departmental management with further amendments to the legislation governing the activities of their sectoral services.

Administrative Detention

The article deals with the issue of normative regulation of the terms and procedure of administrative detention of offenders committed domestic violence in order to justify increasing the detention period for domestic brawlers for more than three hours. It is proposed to supplement Article 263 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses with the fourth part of the following content: “Persons who have committed domestic violence, i.e. the intentional commission of any act of a physical nature (use of violence that did not cause bodily harm; threats; insults or persecution; deprivation of housing, food, clothing, other property or funds that belongs to the victim, who has the right on it guaranteed by law, et.) must be detained for up to 72 hours for referral to trial if the physical or mental health of the victim was damaged or could be damaged. This applies to cases if the urgent injunction was not executed by the person in respect of whom the order was issued or if person did not notify the authorized units of the National Police of Ukraine of the place of his/her temporary stay”. It was proposed to detain domestic rowdies after administrative detention in special rooms for arrestees. The proposal of legal scholars and law enforcement officers regarding the possibility of administrative proceedings without the obligatory presence of a person who was brought to administrative responsibility for committing domestic violence has been also supported. This provision of the current Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses already in its content has certain precedents for increasing the term of compulsory detention of a detained person for committing certain administrative offenses. Thus, there is a certain procedural precedent, which makes it possible to increase the terms of administrative detention for other administrative offenses, which in their content have more significant harmful consequences for society, such as Article 10 of this Code. Thus, among the administrative offenses, such as those listed in paragraph 1 of part 2 of Article 262 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Ukraine, for which administrative detention is provided for no more than three hours, domestic violence is the one that, on our opinion, has the most serious harmful consequences for society.

The Impact

This study tests whether violence directed toward American law enforcement has increased in the wake of events in Ferguson, Missouri, in summer 2014. Using monthly data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) reports (2010–2016), we carried out time-series analyses to examine trends in nonfatal assaults on police officers in a sample of 4,921 agencies. Neither injurious nor noninjurious assaults on officers increased following Michael Brown’s death in August 2014. The findings are robust across a variety of model specifications and estimation techniques, providing little evidence of a “War on Cops” through 2016. The study adds empirical rigor to an ongoing national debate based largely on speculation/anecdotes. The impact and potential consequences of the current climate for officers’ perceptions of safety/risk are discussed.

Multivariable Analyses

Researchers have suggested that provider-based stigma of substance use disorders is one barrier to fighting the opioid epidemic. Yet, to date, virtually no study has examined provider-based stigma among law enforcement officers who are on the front line of the opioid crisis. This study attempts to fill this gap in the literature by assessing provider-based stigma toward opioid-using persons among a sample of 208 police officers working for departments located in the Northeastern Region of the United States. Results show that officers hold relatively high levels of stigma toward this vulnerable population, as measured by perceptions of dangerousness, blame, and social distance; however, comparatively, officers hold less fatalistic views toward this group of persons. Additionally, our multivariable analyses indicated that officer rank, support for the disease model of addiction, and beliefs about the demographic characteristics of a substance-using person are significantly associated with provider-based stigma among officers. Potential policy implications are discussed within.

Abuse Of Women

The scourge of domestic violence as well as other forms of violence against women has eaten deep into the fabric of our society creating a lopsided gender balance with the female gender being the greatest victim. Violence has taken different forms ranging from sexual to physical and psychological as well as other forms. This degrades the humanity of the woman in our society. Abusive partners and perpetrators base their actions on superior nature of the male sex, religion, law, custom, economic situation, family pressure, and their behavioural pattern. It is believed that lack of a legal framework universally enforced as well as lack of trained law enforcement officers promotes the violence of women in Nigeria. A proactive legal framework, establishment of confidential and well equipped family courts, training of law enforcement officers, shelters and counselling centres can reduce the abuse of women in Nigeria and across the globe. The physical, sociological and psychological effect of violence against women is unquantifiable. To achieve a fair and balanced society, women must be valued, respected and supported and not battered either by stick or word of mouth.
