IMPROVING EFFICIENCY IN THE INVESTIGATION OF CRIMES IN UKRAINE AND FOREIGN COUNTRIES, THEIR INNOVATIONS AND MEASURES

Abstract

At a time when the State is facing great difficulties, the prospect of transforming the fight against crime in Ukraine is to immediately identify measures and adopt strategies aimed at minimizing the impact of crime and acting proactively to prevent not only the rapid spread of the virus, but also an increase in the total number of crimes. This includes identifying the cause-and-effect complexes that contributed to the commission of crimes, an in-depth analysis of the characteristics of offenders based on investigative and judicial practice, and individualized preventive work with offenders to identify the causes of illegal behavior. The use of modern technologies of foreign experience significantly increases the ability of pre-trial investigation authorities to confidently solve a crime and establish the circumstances of the offense, time, place and manner of its commission, and the circle of persons involved through the court, as well as establish the events of the crime, causes, conditions and many other circumstances. However, today there are significant difficulties of both objective and subjective nature in carrying out procedural actions under martial law. The first concerns the significant insecurity of persons conducting investigative (detective) or covert (criminal) actions in the course of performing their procedural duties. The territory to be inspected; the amount of material evidence and traces of crime to be found, seized, packaged and examined; a large number of witnesses and victims to be interrogated (including minor witnesses who require the involvement of an expert). There are a lot of modern problems with creating suitable conditions for investigating a crime. Thus, during the period of introduction of a state of emergency in Ukraine, the main purpose of crime prevention measures is to create favorable conditions that guarantee a reduction in the crime rate to the lowest possible level in society, taking into account economic, organizational, managerial, socio-psychological and other conditions of existence in society. In order to ensure the latter, national crime prevention measures, which involve all social institutions, are of great importance in the investigation of crimes in order to achieve the national crime prevention goal.
