Methodological principles of development of information and analytical support of law enforcement efficiency

Abstract

The urgent problems related to the deepening socio-economic crisis, numerous challenges in the field of national security, hostilities and occupation of the territory of Ukraine threaten the security of citizens and demonstrate the necessity to revise the key principles of reforming the modern law enforcement system, in particular in the context of its information and analytical support. In this regard, the purpose of the research is to substantiate the system of relevant indicators, rules, techniques and methods that determine the level of a particular structure, unit or system in general, provided that their potential is effectively developed. The methodological tools are based on dialectical, structural and logical methods, a systematic approach, and a statistical method. It is recommended that, based on reliable information support, an analysis of the effectiveness of law enforcement activities should be conducted focusing on further development of proposals for appropriate preventive measures. To implement these approaches, the author highlights the principles of effective law enforcement and proposes to develop a comprehensive monitoring system for tracking and forecasting the dynamics of offences using modern policy instruments, monitoring, control and response. It is proved that the quality of the law enforcement system is conditioned upon the improvement of its efficiency, provided that high results are achieved at the lowest cost of living and embodied labour. The author defines the effect and efficiency of law enforcement activities and based on these indicators, proposes a methodology for factor analysis of the effect, efficiency, and intensity of law enforcement agencies. The practical value of the work lies in the fact that the conclusions presented in it, due to the prescriptive presentation, will allow developing of an optimal model for making managerial decisions on the implementation of specific tasks facing law enforcement agencies and will guarantee a creative approach to the development of algorithms and measures to improve the level of efficiency in this area
