Although some experience of such investigations has existed since 2014, the international armed conflict that began on February 24, 2022, identified almost all forms (methods) of violation of the laws and customs of war, which requires a comprehensive analysis and correct understanding of the rules of international humanitarian law that define the rules for participants in armed conflict. The purpose of the research is to define some circumstances to be proved in the course of the investigation of violations of the laws and customs of war and to disclose their content with due regard for the rules of international humanitarian law which determine the specifics of the object of proof in such criminal proceedings. The research employs philosophical (dialectical and hermeneutical), general scientific (systemic, historical, functional), and special scientific (comparative jurisprudence, technical-legal, and interpretation of legal provisions) methods of cognition. The work is based on the provisions of the treaty and customary law of armed conflict, the practice of its application at the national and international level, national law providing for liability for violation of the laws and customs of war, the procedural procedure for investigating criminal offences, and forensic recommendations for investigating particular types of crimes.

The relevance of the research issue is that the provisions of the current legislation defining the legal basis for using unmanned aerial vehicles by police authorities and units are mostly formally defined. Based on this, and considering that the law enforcement system has encountered new challenges which constantly require the introduction of the latest methods and means of countering crime, including using modern achievements of digital, technological, scientific and technical progress, the purpose of this research is to analyse the foreign experience of using unmanned aerial systems by law enforcement agencies, and based on this, to develop proposals for improving the current legislation in the part concerning using UAVs. The research methodology includes a combination of general scientific and special methods that allow for defining assumptions and drawing conclusions. The research examines the relevant issues of the day concerning using the technical capabilities of unmanned aerial systems in the course of performing the tasks assigned to police agencies and units. In particular, the author examines the international experience of some technologically advanced countries (the USA, Great Britain, Germany, France, China and Israel) in using modern capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles by law enforcement agencies. Attention is devoted to the development of the aviation industry of Ukraine in terms of the design of Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles, and the prospects for their implementation in the activities of the National Police. The author outlines the main prospects for using unmanned aerial vehicles in the activities of police agencies and units. In particular, those related to the protection of public order, road safety, detection, suppression and counteraction to criminal and administrative offences, and protection and defence of human rights and freedoms, life and health.

Compared to other criminal acts, domestic violence has for many centuries been considered, by religious standards, traditions and customs of peoples, a purely family affair. Despite all the adverse manifestations and consequences of such violence, not all countries have criminalised such actions to the present day. Improving the process of investigating domestic violence remains a challenge, even though significant progress has been made. The purpose of the research is to explore and develop a structure for the forensic characterisation of criminal offences related to domestic violence, which is the starting point for establishing an effective methodology for their investigation. The research uses scientific methods (analysis, modelling and heuristic) to explore the methods of investigation of various criminal offences, which resulted in determining the levels of forensic characteristics of the criminal offences being explored and systematising its main and most significant elements. In addition, the analysis of court practice has allowed the conclusion that during the pre-trial investigation, the facts of the connection between a criminal offence and domestic violence are not established or procedurally fixed, and therefore are not considered by the court. The investigator should strive to prevent such a situation. From the very first steps of the investigation, it is necessary to establish and record the facts of systematic violence in the family circle.

The purpose of this research is to highlight and analyse the various ways in which insincere persons can counteract these studies and the signs that indicate their use. The main components of the methodological toolkit are the dialectical method of scientific knowledge of real phenomena and general scientific and special methods of polygraphy. The author substantiates the techniques and methods of counteracting psychophysiological research by using a polygraph through the relevant signs that indicate them. It has been established that currently, the most common forms of counteracting psychophysiological research using a polygraph are physical (mechanical) methods that have external physical manifestations through the targeted mechanical action of the person under investigation and perform a distracting function from the instrumental testing procedure. The author considers physiological methods that involve a change in the examinee's psychophysiological state through the effect of excessive physical activity on the body performed or applied on the eve of a polygraph examination, which causes fatigue or demonstrates exhaustion of human strength. It was noted that, based on the identified signs and methods of counteraction, the polygraph examiner decides on the time of postponement of the examination procedure or further refusal to conduct it. The practical significance of the work consists in the fact that the methods of counteracting the research procedure, and signs of psychophysiological reactions used by insincere individuals, substantiated in it, will avoid errors in the work of a polygraph examiner, and will obtain a high level of reliability of the results of research using a polygraph","PeriodicalId":111799,"journal":{"name":"Naukovij vìsnik Nacìonalʹnoï akademìï vnutrìšnìh sprav","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124011452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nowadays, vandalism reigns in various spheres of public relations with the participation of all segments of the population, the legal nature of this phenomenon is constantly developing, improving, and does not correspond to the conventional legal interpretation. Thus, the purpose of the study is to consider and characterise measures of social-wide prevention aimed at effectively preventing the commission of vandalism in modern conditions. The methodological basis of the study consists of dialectical, formal logical, system and structural, and statistical methods. The theoretical basis of the study is the papers of Ukrainian and foreign researchers on the analysed negative social phenomenon and improving the effectiveness of countering it in Ukraine in the modern context. The study examines the issue of vandalism as an urgent problem of modern society, because in modern social conditions vandalism poses a real threat to the national security of the country and requires an urgent state response. The author formulated the definition of the concept of prevention of criminal offences related to vandalism, which fully reveals the structure of prevention, considering the significance and area of vandalism. During the study of the procedure for preventing vandalism, it was established that one of the areas of prevention in law enforcement activities are social-wide measures. It is determined that social-wide prevention, first of all, should be aimed at improving the well-being of the population through influencing social transformations that determine the social, economic, cultural and educational, ideological, legal, organisational and managerial existence of society. It is highlighted that the peculiarity of prevention measures in modern conditions is to consider all elements of criminal offences initiated on the grounds of committing acts of vandalism.

Anomie is essentially a complex of social and cultural pathologies that affect society. Legal anomie has distinctive features. Marginality can be considered as a state of the individual, which implies its exclusion from social structures and generates uncertainty of social positions, which affects the consciousness of the person, their lifestyle and actions. Marginality underlies disorganisation and reorganisation processes in the life of society, it contributes to the emergence of anomie, the grounds of which generally consist in the discrepancy between the dominant ideology of priority of law and limited legal means and ways of satisfying life's needs. The consequence of anomie may be a sharp increase in the crime rate. Therefore, the study of marginality as a prerequisite for anomie is justified and relevant. The purpose of the study is to identify factors of marginal behaviour that have a destructive, even criminogenic potential; focusing on the fact that marginality destabilises social relations, leads to conflicts, offences, and anomie. The methodological basis of the study is a system of philosophical and ideological, general scientific and special scientific principles and methods, in particular: the principles of objectivity, concreteness, complexity; dialectical, formal and logical, systemic, structural and functional methods. The conclusions indicate that marginality is one of the causes of anomie, which, in turn, contributes to the further marginalisation of society. The scientific originality of the study is determined by the totality of the formulated conclusions and consists in explaining the interdependence of marginality and anomie, identifying ways to neutralise anomie processes through the practical implementation of the principles of the rule of law, legal equality, and eliminating the causes of marginal behaviour. The study results contribute to identifying ways to influence people who are prone to marginal behaviour, improving the means and methods of overcoming anomie in society, and reducing the manifestations of illegal behaviour.
