ТЕХНІЧНЕ ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ РОЗШУКОВОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ ПРИВАТНИХ ДЕТЕКТИВІВ В УКРАЇНІ

Abstract

Current trends in the development of criminal practices require the state to respond appropriately to them, to develop effective mechanisms to prevent crime. As a result, the crime prevention system is in constant motion. It depends on many factors, especially on the implementation of political will and the fulfillment of Ukraine’s international obligations. This is directly reflected in the current legislation, which generally forms a strategy to prevent crime and find its tactical countermeasures. One of such manifestations today is a new, in essence, detective activity of both public bodies and private organizations (institutions). Private detective work is regulated differently at the legislative level in many countries around the world. Despite the normative enshrinement, the activities of private detectives differ greatly in the degree of legal regulation by state institutions and control by professional self-government bodies. This primarily applies to both the licensing process and the process of carrying out such activities. On the way to knowledge of preventive detective activity there are certain both theoretical and practical problems. These include the fact that the subjective dimension of private detective activity, as well as private detective activity itself, has been little studied in modern criminological practice and has hardly been developed. Legal bases of use (application) of special means consist of the legislative acts regulating activity of bodies to which the right to their application is given. The legal basis for the use of special technical means in private detective work is a system of legal norms and bylaws that determine the admissibility or regulate the procedure and conditions of their use. The purpose of special equipment is in the following aspects: 1) facilitating the detection and investigation of crimes, ensuring the high quality of the inspection of the crime scene, facilitating the discovery of physical evidence during searches; 2) creating opportunities to obtain reliable information about persons involved in the preparation or commission of offenses. Statistics show that with the help of a number of operational and technical means it is possible to quickly and reliably obtain and record information about specific persons who plan or prepare crimes, and then take measures to prevent them. Devices for the use of such tools can be audio and video equipment, surveillance devices, etc .; 3) physical cessation of resistance by criminal elements. This can be achieved through the use of special means of personnel protection and special operations.
