Модели организации деятельности полиции зарубежных государств в сфере взаимодействия с гражданским обществом

Introduction. In solving the problem of interaction between the police and civil society institutions in implementing the law enforcement function of the state, the policing experience of foreign countries can be actual for developing new conceptual provisions and dogmatic solutions adequate to contemporary conditions. The research of different models of police activity organisation in foreign countries will reveal common patterns and suggest more efficient and effective measures to organise interaction between the police and civil society institutions in Russia. Purpose of the research is to identify the most effective management mechanisms for the formation of interaction between the police and civil society institutions in implementing the law enforcement function of the state on the basis of theoretical and legal analysis of models of the organisation of police activities in foreign countries. Theoretical aspects of the organisation of local self-government, traditionally historically linked to policing, are reflected in the theses of E. S. Gorbatyuk, I. A. Gorsheneva, D. O. Ezevsky, A. M. Kononov and others. Comparative analysis of police activity of foreign states, including cooperation with civil society institutions, was carried out in the researches of I. A. Andreeva, A. V. Bykov , D. V. Vasiliev , A. V. Gubanov, E. V. Kirichok, A. K. Kiselev, O. B. Moroz, V. F. Saetgarayev, A. I. Stepanyan and others. The issues of interaction of the police and society were considered in the works of P. N. Kobets, N. S. Nizhnik, G. R. Rustemova, I. S. Prikhodko and others. The theory of the relationship between local political culture and the organisation of police activities (J. K. Wilson) was used to identify and evaluate the mechanisms of partnership between the police and society. Methods. The research is based on the system approach, general scientific methods (primarily analysis and synthesis), the method of materialistic dialectics; special methods: comparative-historical, formal-legal; historical-legal analysis, chronological method. Results. The studied models of police organisation in foreign countries are derived from the generic concept of “service model of police organisation”, are aimed at social cohesion, stability with a high level of citizen participation and are relevant for different countries. The priority task of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs is the social orientation of its activities, which allows police units to make their best in using the social and public potential of the Russian society in solving the tasks assigned to them.

Professiograph of activity of cynological specialists of the MIA of Russia as a critical element of quality training of a specialist

Introduction. The article reveals the importance of the canine units of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs in ensuring the country's security. The purpose of the scientific research is a detailed study of the content and features of the professional activities of dog handlers with the subsequent construction of a professionogram as the most important element of high-quality training of specialists.Materials and Methods. The research materials were literary sources and the current practice of training dog handlers. During the study, general scientific methods were used: analysis and synthesis; generalization and specification; systematization and structuring of information. The authors analyze empirical studies, which reveal that a service dog has no analogues in terms of psychophysiological capabilities in solving operational and service tasks facing the department. As a result of studying the specialized literature, it was revealed that the leading activity of the canine service is the implementation of operational search and investigative actions. The second direction includes solving problems related to maintaining and saving a service dog. An equally important area of professional activity for dog handlers is leadership and mentoring.Results. Based on the results of the work carried out, a professiogram of a dog handler specialist of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation was built, which is based on the concept of professional development of E.F. Zeer and his model of a prospective professionogram. The novelty of the study lies in the description of all structural elements: passport, specifics of personnel training, characteristics of leading activities, psychogram. The authors substantiate the importance of identifying the main substructures of a specialist’s personality (professional orientation, professionally significant qualities, professionally important qualities and psychophysiological properties), which acted as its main elements.Discussion and Conclusions. The professiogram proposed by the authors reflects the dynamics of changes in the leading activity of an individual at different stages of professional development, which allows for psychological support of the process of professional training of a dog handler of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.

Physical training and sports of mia cadets: problems and prospects

In line with the requirements of the modern social environment and the challenges arising in the execution of law enforcement functions, high physical fitness is a crucial factor for effectively responding to unforeseen situations and ensuring public safety.

Внутригрупповые отношения курсантов как индикаторы социально-психологического климата на разных этапах обучения в вузе

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that assessment of intragroup relations is one of the means of studying social and psychological climate in a group; its use allows timely solving the problem of preventing conflicts and tension within the official service group, which will positively affect the quality of the service. The study objective is to identify and describe differences in the degree of manifestation of functional characteristics (positive and negative) of the cadets’ intragroup relations, as well as to establish their correlation with the favorability indicator of the social and psychological climate in the academic-service group. The study hypothesizes, firstly, that there is a correlation between the functionally positive and negative characteristics of intragroup relations and the favorability of the socio-psychological climate; secondly, that manifestation of the functional characteristics of intragroup relations, and, correspondingly, the degree of the climate favorability will be different for the cadets at different stages of studying at the university. Participants: 508 cadets of St. Petersburg University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia (St. Petersburg), including 115 cadets of the first year, 101 of the second year, 101 of the third year, 98 of the fourth and 93 cadets of the fifth year aged from 18 to 24; 107 females and 401 males. Methods (tools): “Subjective Assessment of Intragroup Relations Scale” (by S. V. Dukhnovsky, K. V. Zlokazov) aimed at identifying functional (positive and negative) characteristics of intragroup relations, the combination of which makes it possible to determine the index of the socio-psychological climate in the group, and the “Assessing the Level of Psychological Climate in the Group” Technique (by A. N. Lutoshkin) aimed at measuring the degree of the climate favorability / unfavorability. Results: it has been found out that the most favorable index of functionally positive characteristics of intragroup relations is expressed in cadets of the first and fourth years, whereas in the second, third and fifth years there is a decrease in this indicator. Moreover, the study has revealed significant correlations between the functionally positive and negative characteristics of intragroup relations with the favorability level of the climate in the group. The index of the socio- psychological climate as a ratio of the functional characteristics of intragroup relations (positive and negative) is different in the assessment of cadets at different stages of university study. It is shown that the functional characteristics of intragroup relations act as indicators of the socio–psychological climate, and their general index reflects the level of its favorability (unfavorability) in academic groups. The main conclusions. The results prove the consistency of considering the favorability index of the socio-psychological climate as an indicator of intragroup relations in academic groups. This index is an alternative to the well-known methods of the climate measurement. Practical significance: further study of intragroup relations as indicators of the socio-psychological climate will contribute to solving the problem of collaboration and compatibility of employees of internal affairs bodies, as well as issues of their individual reliability.

Взаимосвязь стиля руководства коллективом с социально-психологическим климатом в системе органов МВД России

The urgency of the problem is explained by the fact that the heads of structural divisions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as a rule, do not always possess psychological knowledge and do not have practical experience in the field of socio-psychological features of building a favorable socio-psychological in the team.

Peculiarities of the specialist's participation in the search during the investigation of appropriation, waste of property or its possession by abuse of official position

The procedural and organizational-tactical bases of the involvement of a specialist in a search in criminal proceedings on the appropriation, embezzlement of property or taking possession of it by abuse of official position are investigated. Data from official statistics testify to the low quality of investigations into official embezzlement in Ukraine. The main subjects investigating the criminal offense provided for in Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine are investigators of the National Police. Accordingly, a forensic specialist of the National Police or a forensic expert of the Expert Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is most often involved in the search in such criminal proceedings. Emphasis is placed on the mandatory participation of a specialist during the search in the investigation of official embezzlement with the aim of continuous video recording of its progress in the event that witnesses cannot participate. The factors that are guided by the investigator when determining which specialist should be involved in the search are highlighted. It was concluded that in the studied category of criminal proceedings, it is advisable to involve specialists from various fields in the search, whose functions will depend on the stages of the investigative (search) action. The joint actions of the investigator and the specialist at the preparatory, working and final stages of the search are revealed. The recommendation to involve in the search the specialist who participated in the previous procedural actions was supported. Proposals have been made to engage relevant specialists to inspect computer equipment and extract electronic (digital) information. The procedure for removing electronic (digital) information at the scene of a search in criminal proceedings on the appropriation, waste of property or possession of it by abuse of official position has been revealed. It was emphasized that in criminal proceedings under Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, specialists during a search: use scientific and technical means to identify certain objects, their hiding places; recognize the essence of objects, things, documents, examine them beforehand; provide consultation and reference assistance regarding the collection of evidence, the appointment of examinations for the identified objects; technical means are used to record the progress and results of the search.

Criminal Record as Personal Data and the Basis of General Legal Restrictions

Relevance. The issues related to the phenomenon of criminal record as special personal data of a citizen, the availability of information about the conviction of a person and ensuring their safety are considered. The article analyzes the positions of the Constitutional and Supreme Courts of the Russian Federation, courts of general jurisdiction regarding the reflection of a criminal record in certificates of absence of a criminal record and (or) the fact of criminal prosecution or on the termination of criminal prosecution by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation upon its repayment or withdrawal.The purpose of the study is to supplement theoretical provisions aimed at deepening scientific knowledge about criminal record as a negative consequence, expressed in the creation of general legal restrictions not based on law for a convicted person by the Administrative Regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation on the provision of public services for the issuance of criminal record certificates dated 09/27/2019 № 660.Objectives: to analyze the decisions of the Constitutional and Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, reviews of judicial practice, court decisions on cases challenging the provisions of the Administrative Regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, to identify and comprehend the restrictions created by it for persons whose criminal record has been removed or extinguished.Methodology. The article actively uses the methods of theoretical research (analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction), as well as formal legal, system-analytical methods, documentary, as well as the method of generalization of judicial practice.The results of the study are theoretical and applied in nature and contain proposals for solving problems related to a citizen's criminal record, when it is repaid or withdrawn, when general legal restrictions, among other things, are the result of gaps in the Administrative Regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. The necessity of changing its wording is argued.Conclusion. The state and the law enforcement officer have not comprehended the socially dangerous consequences of decisions on the compliance of departmental acts that create artificial obstacles to the exercise of labor, electoral, social and other rights by ex-convicts to the Constitution of the Russian Federation and federal legislation.

Supra-Professional Competencies as a Basis for Training Future Employees of the Territorial Bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Professional Activity

Introduction. The article examines the problem of formation of supra-professional competencies of cadets of educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation as a strategic task aimed at reducing the process of adaptation of young specialists to the conditions and requirements of future professional activity. The purpose of the article is to determine the level of formation of abilities for self-development and self-education, critical thinking of cadets of educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, as the basic basis of supra-professional competencies. Methodology. The methodological basis of the study was the systematic and aspect-based approaches to the problem under study, since the process of forming supra-professional competencies cannot be fully understood and comprehended without a comprehensive analysis. To achieve the research goal, the authors used theoretical (analysis, synthesis, generalization and systematization of scientific publications) and empirical (questionnaire) methods. Statistical data processing was carried out using generally accepted methods of mathematical statistics. The study was conducted with the involvement of cadets of 3–4 courses of educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia (n = 156). The study uses the generally accepted method of M. P. Lukashevich (assessment of abilities for self-development and self-education), assessment of the level of critical thinking (method of determining the level of critical thinking by Yu. F. Gushchin, N. V. Smirnova). Results. It was revealed that the cadets have a low level of proficiency in analysis and evaluation skills when solving a problem against the background of low indicators of logic thinking. Conclusion. The opinion is expressed that the traditional organization of the educational process of future employees of the territorial bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, in some cases, does not ensure the formation of supra-professional competencies in the educational space of the university. The importance of developing a model and technology for organizing and managing the process of independent work of cadets of educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, based on the development and application of a digital resource, is expressed.

Relations of the departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia with the mass media and the means of increasing the effectiveness of information and propaganda work

The object of the study is public relations that develop in the process of interaction between the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and the mass media. The subject of the article is the rights and responsibilities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the media sphere, practical aspects of their implementation in the process of administrative activities of the police. The rights granted by the legislator allow the Ministry for the proactive formation of the information agenda. The novelty of the research is expressed in the results and conclusions obtained. For the first time in domestic jurisprudence, a classification of the rights and duties of the police implemented in the media sphere has been developed, and a criterion has been identified that served as the basis for the classification. The current legal instruments and their importance in media communications have been analyzed. Information and business letters, previously overlooked by researchers, have been considered as an institution for forming partnership relations with the media. Evidence has been presented of the need to follow professional ethical standards and the editorial board's interest in observing them. Practical recommendations aimed at forming truly partnership relations with the media have been proposed. A promising topic for further study has been identified, namely, the development of a methodology for responding to negative, untrue aspects of police activity demonstrated in films. The results obtained are intended for use in practical activities by specialists of media relations departments and heads of territorial internal affairs bodies. The implementation of rights and responsibilities allows the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia to act as a full-fledged subject of the media sphere, manage media processes, and solve a wide range of operational and service tasks.

СOMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE POLITICAL MODERNIZATION OF GEORGIA AND SINGAPORE

The article is devoted to the research of comparative analysis of the political modernization of Georgia and Singapore. The relevance of this subject is due to experience of successful development in the political and economic spheres of Georgia and Singapore, which was facilitated by the dynamic formation of political institutions. Political modernization in these states took place in an accelerated and “compressed” format.It is specified, that these countries are passing through rapid economic growth. Singapore, in particular, was part of the “first wave of Asian tigers” (along with Taiwan, Hong Kong and South Korea). Georgia, in turn, continues to demonstrate annual GDP growth, despite domestic political and regional instability.It is stated that Singapore is a prime example of economic transformation under authoritarianism. Singapore’s economic success was influenced by many factors, both political (effective governance, professionalism and competence of political leaders, political stability), geographical (a small island state located at the crossroads of sea routes), and cultural (Asian values). The achievements in the socio-economic sphere as a result of political changes were so amazing that they even interested the main reformer of the PRC, Deng Xiaoping. Many Chinese officials and intellectuals see Singapore as a possible benchmark for China.As for Georgia, in applying authoritarian forms of transformation, the leaders of the young post-communist Georgian democracy largely imitated the modernization that took place in Southeast Asia, including Singapore. The authors come to the conclusion that era of Mikheil Saakashvili clearly demonstrates the powerful modernization leap of the Caucasian republic, which was not afraid of temporary authoritarian measures to accelerate political evolution.The Georgian experience of reforms became so successful that the fifth President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko (2014-2019) invited a Georgian landing of reformers to Ukraine to transform individual ministries – the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Health.

The author’s criticisms of the study include the following: the structure of the work is not quite successful and the insufficient use of official departmental victimization statistics of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

Тенденции смертности от внешних причин населения Европейского Севера за 2010–2021 годы

The purpose of this research was to assess the status and identify the specific features of population mortality from external causes in the Arkhangelsk Region, Nenets Autonomous Area and Komi Republic for the period of 2010–2021. Materials and methods. Information about external cause mortality in the above regions for the period under study was obtained from the statistical monitoring databases of the Russian Federation – Unified Interdepartmental Statistical Information System – as well as from the official websites of the Main Directorate for Traffic Safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, and Federal State Statistics Service. Mathematicalstatistical and information-analytical methods were used in the paper. Results. In 2010–2021, the Arkhangelsk Region saw a steady downward trend in road traffic mortality; however, its average mortality rates remained at a higher level compared to the Nenets Autonomous Area and Komi Republic. During the period under study, the highest suicide rate among the regions was observed in the Nenets Autonomous Area: an average of 44 cases per 100,000 population annually, while in the Komi Republic and Arkhangelsk Region it was 30 % lower, i.e., 30.8 and 30.7 cases per 100,000 population, respectively. A better situation was observed in terms of homicide mortality, which decreased significantly between 2010 and 2021 in the regions under study. During the same period, mortality rates due to accidental alcohol poisoning dropped in all three regions; however, the average rate remained higher than the national average: 23.8, 12.2 and 26.1 cases per 100,000 population in the Arkhangelsk Region, Nenets Autonomous Area and Komi Republic, respectively. Dynamics of mortality from occupational injuries over the 12 years in the regions under study is insignificant and overall is similar to the national dynamics.
