PRAXEOLOGICAL BASIS OF THE INVESTIGATION OF CORRUPTIVE CRIMINAL OFFENSES COMMITTED BY EMPLOYEES OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS

Abstract

One of the important areas of ensuring the investigation of corruption criminal offenses committed by law enforcement officers is the development of effective forensic methods. The article emphasizes that the consistent development of the theory and practice of any activity should begin precisely with the formulation of the foundations of their theoretical and practical implementation. The author stated that praxeology, having as its subject states, laws and principles of effectiveness or ineffectiveness of system actions, is an analytical study, the main task of which is the rational understanding of human activity as a holistic phenomenon and acts as an integral factor of scientific knowledge. That is why, when building a forensic methodology for the investigation of corruption criminal offenses committed by law enforcement officers, praxeological foundations act as a tool for the effectiveness of the practical implementation of the theoretical foundation. It is emphasized that optimizing and ensuring the effectiveness of the forensic method of investigating corruption criminal offenses committed by law enforcement officers consists, in particular, in its maximum orientation to the needs of practice, which is manifested in the creation of a program-targeted method of investigation, i.e. in the development of algorithms for the investigation process as a whole or carrying out specific investigative (search) actions. One of the effective algorithms during the investigation of the specified criminal offenses is outlined, namely the "Serious and Organized Crime Threat Assessment, SOCTA" methodology, which is a strategic report, contains a detailed analysis of areas of criminal activity and focuses on identifying the main threats and risks in the consistent fight against serious crimes and organized crime.
