Analysis of The Impact and Dynamics of Gratification In The Practice of State Administrative Law

The practice of gratification, which involves receiving rewards or gifts by state administrative officials, can undermine the foundations of good governance principles. The implications of gratification practices can damage the government's image, reduce public trust, and affect the effectiveness of public policy. This phenomenon creates challenges in various aspects, including public ethics, public trust, and the effectiveness of legal institutions. Apart from that, the dynamics of gratification can also penetrate the administrative decision-making process. Objective considerations in decision making can be disturbed by the influence of gratification, resulting in policies that are not in line with the public interest. This opens up gaps in inequality in public services and inefficient use of public resources. The high complexity of this problem requires an in-depth understanding of the dynamics of gratification in the practice of State Administrative Law. Especially solutions to overcome the problems of awareness and ethics of state administration administrators, internal and external supervision of perpetrators of gratification, environmental conditions of work organizations and active participation from various stakeholders to prevent and eradicate can involve various parties, especially law enforcement officials, the media and the public to proactively reveal , urge and report behavior that leads to gratification. This article explores the phenomenon of gratification in the context of state administrative law practice. Through in-depth analysis, we explain the dynamics behind gratification, its impact on the effectiveness of the state's administrative legal system, and efforts that can be made to overcome this problem. Our research concludes that a deep understanding of gratification is critical to enhancing the integrity and credibility of the country's administrative legal system.

The Formation of the Image of Forensic Science by the Example of the International Project “East — West: Partnership in Forensic Science”

The formation of the modern appearance of the field of forensic examination is the definition of its external outlines and boundaries, technological potential, a set of features that characterize the main vector of special knowledge, the priorities of internal methodological structures and the content of professional competencies. This has always been due to the desire to find an optimal balance between the needs of the law enforcement officer and the capabilities of the subjects of applying special knowledge. Scientific and practical conferences and forums have always been of great importance in these processes. The international project “East-West: Partnership in Forensic Science” is one of the clearest examples of this. As a result of the study of the final materials of this project over twenty years the author examines the genesis of a new class of humanitarian forensic examinations, which was a response to modern challenges in the Russian Federation. The tasks of forensic expert support for the protection of spiritual and moral values, national culture and historical memory are formulated. Along with the already established comprehensive psychological and linguistic examination, a whole interdisciplinary complex of additional forensic studies of information materials is identified as priority forensic areas. These are political science, ethics and religious studies forensic examinations. The professional sovereignty of the Russian Federation and friendly foreign states in the field of forensic activities is essential for the implementation of strategic national priorities, namely state, public and information security.

Private Life, Personal Secret or Personal Data: How to Interpret Information about the Person to the Law Enforcement Officer?

Relevance of the article is determined by considering the problem of interpreting the relationship between personal data and information about the private life of a person constituting his secret for the purpose of uniform law enforcement. Particular attention is paid to the position of the Constitutional and Supreme Courts of the Russian Federation, which have formed the practice of interpretation by courts of general jurisdiction of the concepts of private life and personal secrecy.The purpose of the study is to supplement the theory of criminal law with new knowledge about the criteria for delimiting the terms under consideration, taking into account their difference and the qualification of crimes that encroach on the inviolability of privacy, personal secrets and personal data to effectively counter them.Objectives: on the basis of the established positions of theorists and investigative and judicial practice, distinguish between the concepts under consideration and propose recommendations regarding a criminal law assessment of acts committed in relation to privacy and personal data.Methodology. The research methodology is represented by general scientific and private scientific methods of knowing objective reality. Methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, as well as system-analytical, formallegal, formal-logical and documentary methods found their application in the work.The results of the study are of a theoretical and applied nature and include the development of recommendations for the law enforcement officer regarding the assessment of the presence of evidence of corpus delicti that encroached on privacy, personal secrets or personal data. The specific examples show the formal interpretation of the extinguished or withdrawn criminal record as personal data in its legal absence. To ensure the balance of private and public interests, a different approach to understanding criminal records as a personal secret in the event of its repayment or removal is justified.Conclusion. In law enforcement practice, there are no clear criteria for delineation, in which case private life, personal secrecy, and in which personal data are protected by means of criminal law. The proposal to introduce independent responsibility for illegal actions with personal data, which may not necessarily be information constituting privacy or personal secrets, is supported.

Reconstruction of Investigation Regulations in Absentia Criminal Corruption Cases in Indonesia Based on Justice Values

Regulations for eradicating Corruption Crimes in Indonesia have regulated the examination of cases without the presence of the defendant in Court, however examinations at the investigation stage are not regulated, thus having an impact on the effectiveness of eradicating criminal acts of corruption. The aim of this research is to analyze the regulations for investigating cases of corruption crimes that have not been fair and to explore the weaknesses in the rules for investigating in absentia cases of criminal acts of corruption in Indonesia which are based on the value of justice. The paradigm used in this research is the Constructivism Paradigm, a type of normative juridical research and the research approach used is a statutory approach, a case approach, using primary and secondary data. The research results were analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods. The results of research into in absentia investigations into cases of criminal acts of corruption can give rise to differences in interpretation among law enforcement officials ranging from Investigators, Public Prosecutors to Judges, each of whom has inherent authority in examining cases of criminal acts of corruption, especially in examining cases involving prospective witnesses. suspects, suspects and defendants are not present even though they have been legally summoned without giving a proper and reasonable reason, the legal vacuum regulating in absentia investigations of corruption cases can be used by perpetrators of corruption crimes to evade the law enforcement process by running away and can be used as an excuse not to continue the investigation and transfer the case from the investigator to the public prosecutor and can be used as a reason to refuse prosecution by the Public Prosecutor. To realize the eradication of criminal acts of corruption based on the value of justice, it is necessary to reconstruct the regulations for investigations in absentia in the Law on the Eradication of Corruption Crimes by regulating 1) the exclusion of examining witnesses before being named as suspects with conditions; 2) waiver of examination of the suspect with conditions; 3) procedures/mechanisms for examining cases without the presence of the suspect; 4) waiver of handover of responsibility for the case from the investigator to the public prosecutor without the presence of the suspect with conditions; and 5) restrictions on case examinations that can be carried out without the presence of the suspect.

The charade of discreetness: Exploring the paradoxical lifestyles of romance fraudsters

AbstractThis study examined mechanisms that influence romance fraud perpetrators' public display of affluence, an aspect of romance fraud research that has received little attention in the literature. The study collected data through semi‐structured interviews with eight offenders from two Ghanaian cybercrime hotbeds and three law enforcement officials, using a qualitative research approach based on the critical realist paradigm. Data analysis was performed using thematic analysis, which revealed that the social environment, peer influence, links with high‐net‐worth individuals (upper structure clientelism), the involvement of social media and collaboration with some corrupt state officials all had a substantial influence on cybercriminals' public display of wealth. Furthermore, upper structure clientelism shows systemic flaws in financial institutions that must be addressed in order to reduce online romance fraud. The significance of social media in fostering public displays of wealth emphasises the importance of education and awareness initiatives as preventative measures. To effectively prevent online romance fraud, law enforcement should prioritise interagency cooperation and transparency among governmental institutions.

Особенности делинквентного поведения сотрудников силовых структур

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of delinquent behavior of law enforcement officers from the point of view of determining ways to prevent it. During a special military operation, there is an increase in cases of delinquent behavior of employees, this is objectively due to the complication of activities and the simultaneous expansion of the boundaries of freedom (autonomy) and personal responsibility of employees in the performance of their official (combat) tasks. The most typical manifestations of delinquent behavior of employees, in particular the use of alcoholic beverages, narcotic substances, gambling, etc., are analyzed. It is stated that uncontrolled credit and debt behavior of employees, although not a form of delinquent behavior, however, can be considered as concomitant to these manifestations.

Analisis Yuridis Terhadap Penegakan dan Pengaturan Hukum Kejahatan Dunia Maya (Cyebercrime) di Indonesia

The aim of this research is to find out and analyze cybercrime law enforcement in Indonesia. The implementation of this research is normative research. Data analysis is an activity in research in the form of conducting studies or reviewing the results of data processing which is assisted by previously obtained theories. Cyber crime law enforcement in Indonesia can be carried out penal and non-penal. In general, seen from criminal policy (crime prevention policy), criminal law is not a strategic policy tool to prevent and eliminate causal factors or conditions that give rise to crime. We can see the positive criminal law provisions that are criminalized regarding cyber crime in Law Number 19 of 2016, amendments to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions. Meanwhile, non-penal measures are carried out through social methods or approaches such as information, appeals, educational channels, coaching, and also related matters of preventing cyber crime. In realizing law enforcement, law enforcement officers need an active role, namely by being equipped with special skills in handling cyber crime.

Working conditions and health status of employees of individual law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation

Introduction. The health of employees of the Russian law enforcement agencies is one of the factors of the success of their professional activities. The activities of law enforcement officers often take place in an extreme situation, due to the suddenness of emergency situations, lack of time to make decisions, a high degree of responsibility for the lives of other people, and the intensity of physical and psycho-emotional overloads. Therefore, at present, the problem of professional health of employees of law enforcement agencies is attracting attention. The study aims to assess the factors of professional activity and health status of employees of individual law enforcement agencies of the Kaliningrad region. Materials and methods. Using the random sampling method, the researchers formed three groups from among employees Using the random sampling method, the researchers formed three groups from among employees of the internal affairs bodies and the Federal Service of the National Guard Troops who are on medical care at the Federal Medical Institution "Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Kaliningrad region." The experts analyzed the registration form No. 025/u (medical card of a patient receiving outpatient medical care) of these groups of employees of individual law enforcement agencies of the Kaliningrad region. Results. Chronic diseases of the musculoskeletal system and injuries are the dominant pathology of employees of the law enforcement agencies of the Kaliningrad region who are on medical care at the Federal Medical Institution "Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Kaliningrad region." Along with acute respiratory diseases, which most often lead to temporary disability, the above pathology causes a prolonged absence of employees in the relevant units, which makes it difficult to fulfill the assigned service and combat tasks to ensure law and order. Conclusion. Extreme factors of service in the vast majority of cases have a negative impact on the health of persons performing service and combat missions. The dominant pathology of employees is chronic diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue and injuries.

Telemental Health Assessment and Implications for Intimate Partner Violence in Rural Settings.

Violence and abuse in rural America are exacerbated by limited access to support services for victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) due to family connections with people in positions of authority, geographic isolation, transportation barriers, stigma of abuse, lack of available shelters and affordable housing, poverty as a barrier to care, and other challenges. Victims of abuse who live in small communities may be well-acquainted with local health care providers and often voter-elected law enforcement officers. Individuals may fear being seen walking into a mental health clinic, with subsequent (and reality-based) fear that deter them from seeking help. Thus, advances in technology are becoming a much-needed option. Although telehealth has been used for some time in rural health settings, only in more recent years has there been an increase toward quality trauma-informed care. With increasing focus on the impact of social determinants of health, agencies continue to shift to telehealth to provide virtual support. Specifically, telehealth visits can potentially extend the reach of the limited number of primary care and mental health providers to those who are significantly in need of services.

Evaluation of the results of the study of individual indicators of physical development, special physical fitness and sports nutrition "Power Pro" of graduates of higher education with specific training conditions, engaged in mixed martial arts and law enforcement officers In order to achieve and maintain a high level of functional and physical fitness, high sports results, and maintaining the health of those who practice, a number of pedagogical, methodical, psychological, and medical-biological aspects are necessary. Therefore, the introduction of specialized sports nutrition is expedient. With the rational development of nutrition schemes, it is possible to increase the performance of athletes, improve all necessary indicators and planned results. The purpose of the article is to develop a program and recommendations for optimizing sports nutrition "Power Pro" and research the impact of specialized nutrition on individual anthropometric, indicators of general and special physical fitness of graduates of higher education with specific training conditions, engaged in mixed martial arts and law enforcement officers. The experiment involved young men (average age 19.10±0.74), high school graduates with specific training conditions, engaged in mixed martial arts and law enforcement officers (Dnipropetrovsk State University of Internal Affairs), who were divided into 2 groups – control (n= 15) and experimental (n=15). The purpose of using specialized sports nutrition was as follows: 1. Increasing both general and special fitness (training and competition). 2. Preventive action of possible injuries and disruption of adaptation. 3. Timely and correct recovery of the body of those who are engaged, after a state of overstrain. 4. Providing the body of those who are struggling with food substances, taking into account individual energy consumption. To test the developed program for the introduction of specialized sports nutrition, before and after the experiment, the following parameters were studied: height, weight, dynamometers, VL, impact force. We have developed and implemented schemes for the ratio and combination of food substances: whey protein, BCAA (branched chain amino acids), creatine, taurine, a complex of vitamins and minerals. When developing the program of specialized sports nutrition "Power Pro" for the experimental group, the main factors such as age characteristics and body weight, gender of the test subjects, as well as individual characteristics of their physical development, specifics of the sport were directly analyzed. The obtained results of the study showed a statistically significant improvement of individual anthropometric and indicators of special physical fitness in the experimental group (p<0.05). This makes it possible to draw conclusions about the positive dynamics of the implemented program of specialized sports nutrition on the monitored indicators, which are basic for athletes specializing in mixed martial arts.

Influence of Youth Unemployment on Youth Involvement in Crime in Kakuma Refugee Camp

Youth, constituting an estimated 70% of the total population, play pivotal roles in society due to their energy and dynamism. Conversely, a significant portion of the refugee population comprises young individuals who, despite being provided with various capacity-building programs, sometimes find themselves involved in criminal activities. The study sought to assess the influence of youth unemployment on youth involvement in Crime in Kakuma Refugee Camp. Employing a descriptive research design, the study was guided by Strain theory. The target population included refugees, host community members operating businesses within the study area, government officials, and officials from humanitarian agencies implementing projects in refugee settlements. Stratified random sampling was utilized to select South Sudanese sub-clans, while purposive sampling was employed to select security officers and stakeholders from various departments. Data collection involved the use of questionnaires and interviews, gathering responses from 125 and 20 respondents, respectively. Primary data was obtained through questionnaires and interviews with government officers working in the camp, such as those from the Department of Refugee Services (DRS), law enforcement officers, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), community peace and protection teams (CPPTs), and national and county government administrators overseeing the refugee camp's jurisdiction. Secondary data was sourced from scholarly journals, books, the internet, reports, newspapers, and treaties on refugees, aiding in achieving the study objectives. Data analysis employed descriptive statistics for quantitative data and content analysis for qualitative data, utilizing SPSS and NVIVO software, respectively. Results were presented through tables, charts, and figures. The study found that poverty was a significant factor contributing to youth involvement in crime. Additionally, societal treatment, characterized by suspicion, victimization, lack of recognition, and disharmony influenced youth criminal behaviour. To address these issues, the study recommends that humanitarian organizations and governments provide income-generating activities for youth, intensify initiatives to alleviate community involvement in crime, foster positive societal attitudes towards youth, and provide proper guidance on avoiding negative peer influence, thereby deterring youth from joining criminal groups.

Uniformity of Terminology and Limits of Assessment of its Features and Functions in the Development of the Concept of Criminalization of Acts involving Unmanned Vehicles

Unmanned aerial vehicles, regardless of their purpose and type, are of considerable interest to a legal scientist, law enforcement officer and legislator. The number of mentions of unmanned vehicles and their types in regulatory legal acts is large; however, academic papers constantly raise the issue of multiple terms and concepts existing in the field of unmanned technologies. Moreover, many papers on criminal law regulation raise the same question. Since the issue of unmanned aerial vehicles regulation is not the first one of a kind to be discussed among legal academia, the paper attempts to consider the problem by extrapolating from existing experience. In particular, the author suggests turning to the theory of technologies and using them as a starting point to answer the question of whether it is possible to identify a single system of signs of high generality for unmanned vehicles. Accordingly, is it possible to sufficiently abstract from the particular features of products and services in order to construct a general term? Using unmanned vehicles available on the market as an example, the author shows the breadth of variation in the functions of these vehicles and how this can lead to legal conflicts and the strengthening of particular cases when trying to build a general norm. Based on the analysis, the author draws a conclusion regarding the problem posed in the title of the article.

Insignificance of the Act in Criminal and Administrative Tort Law: Nature and Content

The study develops an idea of the criminal legal nature of the insignificance of the act. The author arguments in favor of the fact that such nature is due to the differentiated approach of the federal legislator to assessing the level of public danger of actions and inaction provided for by criminal law. At the same time, the high role of the law enforcement officer in determining the scale of the threat posed by a specific offense for the object of criminal law protection is stated. Studying the mitigating and aggravating circumstances of the act, the personal characteristics of the offender and the line of their behavior, the court decides on the degree of public danger of the relevant act. Its minimal value becomes the reason for raising the question of recognizing the committed action or inaction as insignificant. The paper considers issues on categories of crimes that the offense formally falls under and thus can be assessed on the grounds of insignificance. It is argued against a well-known judgment that the insignificance of the act containing structural elements of the corpus delicti serves as the basis for evaluating what was done according to the norms and provisions of another branch of Russian legislation. A mechanism for developing the insignificance category potential at the level of an individual criminal wrong, known as a criminal offense, is proposed. The study offers a set of arguments proving the inconsistency of the position of the legislator and law enforcement officer on the issue of the possibility of recognizing an administrative offense as insignificant. Their essence boils down to the fact that the formal essence of administrative offenses excludes their differentiation into groups according to the level of harmfulness. This implies the inexpediency of using the category of insignificance in the legislation on administrative offenses.

Illegal Activities of Cartel Organizations in the Field of Public Procurement as a New Object of Statistical Study

The sphere of public procurement and the disbursement of budget funds in all countries is an environment that attracts not only respectable entrepreneurs who want to make guaranteed money, but also various “criminal white-collar elements.” According to various estimates, the volume of financing for public procurement in the Russian Federation occupies up to one third of the total GDP. A large number of labor and financial resources are involved in this area, while regularly changing legislation in this area, as well as the complexity of procurement procedures for different categories of goods, works, and services create favorable conditions and allow unscrupulous bidders, as well as corrupt customer representatives, to obtain unjustified profits and illegal remuneration. In the current situation, the introduction of new control measures becomes vital to ensure fair competition and efficient use of budget funds. That is why additional research and measures aimed at eliminating these problems and the preconditions for their occurrence are an integral part of ensuring the effectiveness of the public procurement system and protecting public interests.Purpose of the research is to study the genesis of cartel agreements in public procurement and their impact on the implementation of national projects in the Russian Federation, as well as the impact of cartel agreements on the presence of healthy competition and the efficiency of spending budget funds. As part of the paper, the state of crime in this area was examined; the signs of cartel agreements, methods for identifying cartels, as well as signs of collusion between the customer and the participant in public procurement were identified.Methods and materials. The author in his paper applies a comprehensive methodological approach, including analysis of statistical data, methods of the general theory of statistics, as well as methods of synthesis and analysis. The main attention is paid to the analysis of the current legal regulation in the field of public procurement. Graphical and tabular methods were used to visualize statistical data. The study is based on data provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, the Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia, the Federal Treasury of the Russian Federation, the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation and the Judicial Department of the Supreme Court.Results of the study. The paper made a quantitative assessment of the scope of public procurement in recent years, and assessed the work carried out by law enforcement officials and the antimonopoly service. Typical violations of antimonopoly legislation during public procurement are given and methods for identifying them are proposed. The illegal schemes used by cartel participants in electronic trading are analyzed, as well as problematic issues and ways to resolve them that arise in practice. The paper proposes various approaches to increasing the efficiency of law enforcement and control agencies. An analysis of law enforcement practice revealed problems associated with proving crimes in this area, and noted an insufficient level of interaction between law enforcement agencies and the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Russian Federation.Conclusion. In the study, the author analyzed the main features of cartels, proposed methods for identifying them, as well as ways to improve the verification activities carried out. The presented measures do not exhaust the topic of the study, and to effectively combat cartels, a systematic approach is recommended, including not only improving the quality of work of law enforcement and control agencies, but also improving the software and hardware used in carrying out inspections. Cartels in public procurement are a relatively new phenomenon for Russia; statistical data obtained from the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Judicial Department of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation indicate that law enforcement and control authorities are just beginning their work to counter the criminal behavior of participants in cartel agreements. Only the fruitful joint work of law enforcement and control agencies will ensure the economic security of the state and protect the national interests of the Russian Federation.
