The article analyzes the theoretical and practical aspects of the anti-corruption policy of Ukraine in the context of European integration. Considered that corruption has long been perceived in the EU as a negative phenomenon requiring systematic, strategic and concerted action of a transboundary and transnational character and, in general, a threat to the rule of law. The author concluded that Ukraine will continue to be perceived by a third world country as long as anti-corruption measures are duplicated from one strategic document to another. The anti-corruption strategy of Ukraine should be an early, strategic and systematic tool for the eradication of corruption and the formation of public justice in the context of zero tolerance for such phenomena. Now this is a set of normatively fixed declarative slogans that are consistent with international standards, but are not achievable in practical terms due to the lack of state strategic planning in advance. The new anti-corruption strategy must necessarily include a broad interpretation of all the concepts used in it, including the term “anti-corruption policy”. Taking into account the recommendations of the CIS Interparliamentary Assembly, the author’s vision of the term “anti-corruption policy” has been formed, as a set of principles, tasks, goals and principles of implementation of law-making and law-enforcement activity of public administration within the protection of human and civil rights and freedoms a state implemented by a system of methods, means and measures to combat corruption in priority areas and in accordance with anti-corruption standards and on the basis of transnational national and cross-border cooperation.

<p>This study utilizes the 2017-2018 Civil Rights Data Collection to explore referrals to law enforcement of public high school students with intersectional identities (racial/ethnic, gender, dis/ability status). We ran negative binomial regressions via Stata 17.0 to predict risk by intersectional identities and utilized covariates including psychological supports, counselors, social workers, security guards, law enforcement officers, Title I status, and school size. Results indicate that school-based law enforcement officers predicted higher law enforcement referrals for Black, Hispanic, and American Indian/Alaskan Native male students with and without disabilities. Psychological supports, however, predicted lower law enforcement referrals for Black males and American Indian/Alaskan Native male students with and without dis/abilities. As the nation addresses systemic racism in the public school system, the experiences of students with intersecting identities must be better understood.</p>

Throughout the period of the existence of the Commonwealth of Independent States, mechanisms were formed to determine the topical direc- tions of joint lawmaking, to jointly develop and implement legal norms, to work on the approximation of national legislations, etc. Already at an early stage of the functioning of the Commonwealth of Independent States, the cooperation of national prosecutor’s offices acquired special significance, as evidenced by the establishment of the Coordination Council of Prosecutor- Generals of Commonwealth Member States in 1995. The present article studies the basic aspects of the interaction between prosecutor’s offices in the Commonwealth of Independent States in the protection of the human and civil rights and free- doms. The article also looks at the dynamics of offending in Commonwealth countries and analyses the factors influencing it; it gives examples of reforms to criminal law and criminal procedure in some Commonwealth countries aimed at making the justice system more effective and protecting the rights and freedoms of citizens. The author pays particular attention to the work of the Russian prosecution services, stressing that the experience of lawmaking and the law enforcement practices of the Russian Federation may be of use in the practical work of the general prosecutor’s offices of the post-Soviet countries that are members of the Commonwealth of Independent States.

This article identifies and describes a set of behavioral indicators associated with illegal drug carrying in public spaces. Through the use of focus group data, our research documents and translates the visual search techniques that veteran law enforcement and drugs experts report using in their work. Here, we catalogue these findings into 10 overarching categories, and discuss how each indicator may be incorporated into an officer’s visual search. Knowledge of these indicators, when combined with proper training and an understanding of a public space, can help law enforcement identify persons who may be carrying drugs. The ability to identify drug-carrying individuals facilitates the interdiction and apprehension of offenders, and also protects the civil rights and liberties of the law-abiding public.

Community policing is grounded in a set of knowledge and skills that promotes a collaborative relationship between community residents, law enforcement, public and private industry, and governing elected officials to achieve safe and sustainable communities. In the fall of 2016, on the heels of the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division’s Investigative Report, a cohort of Morgan State University’s School of Social Work faculty, trained in the results-based accountability (RBA) model, developed and implemented an interactive workshop on cultural competency with 70 community partners from law enforcement. Cultural competence is an inherit cornerstone of a viable community and police partnership. This article shares how outcome-based performance strategies such as RBA can facilitate a pathway for enhancing community generational cultural competence leading to public safety.

A huge interest in learning digital technologies is noted these days. However, at the same time it is necessary to note insufficient degree of available information on this topic, which is due to this phenomenon's novelty. The relevance of the research topic is determined by the need to analyze comprehensively the litigation practice on applying the legislation on digital rights. The need for this research is due to the lack of a comprehensive legal regulation of new digital technologies, lack of uniform judicial practice on applying the legislation on digital rights. This paper considers and analyzes modern law enforcement approaches to cryptocurrency as an object of civil rights, to transactions with cryptocurrency, dissemination in the Internet of information about cryptocurrency as a virtual means of payment and saving in the territory of the Russian Federation, taxation of digital assets existing in litigation practice. The legal positions of the Bank of Russia, Rosfinmonitoring, FTA of Russia on problematic issues of digital rights are investigated.
