Abstract
The article investigates the main features of state service in the law enforcement sphere and the place of state service in administrative and legal regulation mechanism. The goals of the work are as follows: to consider state service in the law enforcement sphere as a single legal category, to reveal its essence and characteristic features as a social system, to provide a scientific classification of its constituent elements and disclose their administrative and legal content. We highlight the following main functional features of those state bodies the service in which can be called law enforcement activity: state and power-based nature of activity, exercising executive and administrative powers, special functional and target purpose, application of special measures of legal influence based on the use of persuasion and coercion methods, and a special legal status. We conclude that practical solution to the question of classifying state service in a particular state body as law enforcement activity may be found through legislative definition of the concept of law enforcement activity of the state, law enforcement functions of state authorities, and the system of state authorities exercising law enforcement functions. Key words: state service, administrative and legal regulation, law enforcement activity, law enforcement functions, legal enforcement.
Highlights
Consideration of state service in the law enforcement sphere as a single legal category allows us to reveal its essence and typical features as a social system, to classify its constituent elements from the scientific perspective and to reveal their administrative and legal content. This task can be addressed most effectively by using an integrative approach that identifies and discloses general features of state service in law enforcement and helps understand specific features of its elements and their groups united into separate subsystems, and helps determine its non-etative features [7], which is of fundamental importance from the point of view of formation of a new model of state service in law enforcement
– identifying major social and humanistic principles of the service and their positivization in current legislation. On this basis we can give a general description of state service system in the law enforcement sphere as a single social and legal phenomenon [9]
The essence and content of state service in the law enforcement sphere and its social purpose are determined primarily by the external environment of its functioning, which encompasses specific social relations associated with the protection of the interests of individuals, society and the state from various kinds administrative, criminal, natural and man-made threats
Summary
Consideration of state service in the law enforcement sphere as a single legal category allows us to reveal its essence and typical features as a social system, to classify its constituent elements from the scientific perspective and to reveal their administrative and legal content.
