Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of current problems of application of advanced methods of profiling in the process of combating cybercrime by units of the National Police. The fight against cybercrime has recently become increasingly important, as there has been a significant increase in the number of cybercrimes. Ukrainian cyber police units must use the most modern methods to combat such crimes. One such method is profiling, which is an important tool for investigating crimes, including information crimes. It allows us to classify cybercriminals, understand their habits and technologies and aims to identify the perpetrator. Due attention is not paid to psychological aspects quite often in operational and investigative activities, resulting in the problem of diagnosis and assessment of the offender. Profiling allows to solve this problem and to increase efficiency of professional activity of divisions of cyber police of National police of Ukraine. But profiling is not used practically in the activities of these units in this time, although the use of profiling in the investigation of cybercrime is quite common in the world's leading countries. Therefore, we aimed to consider the problems of application of advanced profiling techniques in the process of combating cybercrime in the activities of cyber police units, as well as to provide suggestions for improving the current legislation. None of the existing legal documents of our state provides for the use of profiling in the activities of cyber police. Underestimation of capabilities of profiling in cyber police units of the National Police of Ukraine requires rethinking currently. Profiling technologies can be successfully implemented in the activities of operational units of the National Police, including cyber police units, due to it combat crime will be more effectively. It is advisable to add to the existing search measures at the legislative level such a measure as "operational profiling" to this end, that will allow to widely use its capabilities.
