Abstract: The object of the study is dialogue texts with signs of corrupt speech behavior. The subject of the study are marker words, linguistic methods that reveal linguistic signs of a discourse that has a meaningful and semantic focus on receiving or transferring values for the actions of the recipient (inaction), in favor of the giver. The purpose of this work was to conduct a communicative analysis of corrupt speech behavior in the text–dialogue: to accept illegal remuneration for actions (inaction) in the service in order to obtain valuables in the event of an agreement between the specified persons.The main task of the linguistic and forensic examination of anti-corruption cases is to establish the event by its speech representation: it is required to prove that the dialogue is about the transfer of funds. To solve this issue, it is necessary to conduct a communicative analysis of the text-dialogue. The research methodology is related to the communicative analysis of texts-dialogues with signs of corruption content, based on the works of D.L. Karpov, "on the theoretical and practical works of A. N. Baranov, K. I. Brinev, E. N. Galyashina, M. A. Grachev, I. A. Sternin, etc., devoted to cases related to corruption. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the use of a communicative approach within the framework of text-dialogue analysis, logical-semantic and functional-stylistic analysis. The analysis of the expert study of the text-dialogue on anti-corruption cases is presented, the conceptual framework is developed. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the main task of linguistic expertise in anti-corruption cases is to establish an event by its speech representation through the use of a set of semantic and pragmatic techniques of discursive analysis, which allows us to clarify the signs of conversational dialogue that are significant for the legal qualification of speech crimes. When conducting a communicative analysis of a corrupt text, it is important to identify signs of corrupt speech behavior. When analyzing a communicative corruption situation, it is necessary to consider the speech strategies and tactics of the participants in the dialogue, which ultimately allow us to determine the true intentions of the communicants aimed at achieving a communicative goal.

Abstract: The anti-corruption direction of the legal education is based upon the support for more positive attitude to law and law-abiding in the society, improvement of the level of legal knowledge, including knowledge on corruption behavior and measures for its prevention, formation of the ideas on legal responsibility for corruption offences both among the state and municipal servants and among the general public. The causes of corruption offences among the staff of the internal affairs bodies, including State Road Police Inspectorate may be divided into legal, objective, organizational, administrative, social, economic, subjective, educational and ideological ones. In the opinion of the author one of the objective causes of such behavior is the system of evaluation of work of officers of SRPI and the Inspectorate as a whole. Currently the activities of the Inspectorate are evaluated based upon the number of administrative offences in the sphere of roads and traffic, which were revealed by them, as well as based upon the quantity of decisions, which have been enforced. Due to that one should mention importance of professional anti-corruption education of heads of territorial divisions of the SRPI in the sphere of implementation of their authority. That is why, one of the main directions of the anti-corruption policy is anti-corruption education, which should include general elements (choice of cadres for the service) and special (professional) ones.

Abstract: The object of the study includes anti-corruption education as a legal category in Russian regional anti-corruption legislation, providing for the use of anti-corruption education as one of the instruments for the state policy against corruption; goals and main targets of the anti-corruption education provided for in the Russian regional legislation; specific features of the provisions for the anti-corruption education as an instrument for fighting corruption in the regional anti-corruption legislation; quality evaluation for the legal category “anti-corruption education” in the Russian regional anti-corruption legislation. The main method is the method of comparative legal studies as well as the general scientific methods of structural and systemic analysis. The scientific novelty of the study is due to the fact that it is the first study in Russia, which is devoted to the critical analysis of the legal category “anti-corruption education”, which is widely used in the Russian regional anti-corruption legislation. The author provides a critical evaluation of the legal category of “anti-corruption education” in the Russian regional legislation. Then the author draws the following conclusions: 1. The regional anti-corruption legislation lacks legal definition, which could be used as a model for the normative legal acts regulating organization and implementation of anti-corruption education; 2. Regional legislators have various and contradictory understanding of the elements of anti-corruption education as an instrument for fighting corruption, its main goals and purposes; 3. The main reason for the inferior quality of the legal regulation of anti-corruption behavior with the regional legislators includes low level of their professional training, and the lack of the universal and uniform definition of the “anticorruption education” category, which could have been used in the regional law-making. 4. In order to improve the quality of legal regulation of anti-corruption education in the regional anti-corruption legislation there is need to develop and propose a legal category of “anti-corruption education”, and there is also need for the regional legislators to make relevant amendments into the regional anticorruption legislation.

Abstract: In order to counteract corruption in the internal affairs bodies, anti-corruption restrictions, duties and prohibitions were imposed on employees. In this connection, employees are required to provide information on income, expenses, and property obligations for themselves and their family members, comply with the requirements for resolving conflicts of interest, promptly notify the manager of the employee's inducement to commit corruption offenses, as well as comply with other anti-corruption provisions. In addition, a police officer is obliged to prevent abuse of official authority, as well as to comply with the requirements for official behavior of an employee. Thus, if employees comply with the prescribed anti-corruption regulations, it is possible to minimize corruption in the police, which grows not only in the internal affairs bodies, but also in other authorities, and negatively affects the authority and reputation of federal executive authorities.

Abstract: The author notes that anti-corruption laws ensure the prosperity of states and companies all over the world. Australia is ranked ninth in the Corruption Perception Index of the Transparency International. According to the laws of some States and Territories, the person is not found guilty of the crime if this person can prove that the crime had been committed under pressure (with the reality of the threat) or as a response to a sudden or unforeseen situation. If the benefit of the graft is small, prosecution may not be launched. The corporation won’t be found guilty of the crime, if it can prove that it had acted with a due prudence to prevent the actions, approve or allow. The Australian Federal Police has the right to apply for entry to the object of property and confiscation of money or property. The author applies general philosophical and theoretical methods (dialectics, the systems method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, and modeling), traditional legal methods (formal logical), and specific sociological methods (statistical, expert assessments, etc.). The author concludes that at present, in order to ensure legality in the economic sphere, it is necessary to improve forms and methods of corruption prevention. The author states the necessity to develop legal regulation of economic safety. The novelty of the study lies in the proposals about the development of forms and methods of state regulation of the economy and legal and organizational guarantees of corruption prevention in the economic sphere.

Abstract: The research object is the range of social relations emerging in the process of formation of anti-corruption behavior of internal affairs bodies’ personnel. The research subject is the definition of the essence and the forms of corruption behavior and the classification of corruption determinants and corruption behavior of internal affairs bodies’ personnel. The purpose of the study is to explain the inequality of concepts of “corruption” and “corruption behavior”, the factors that determine them and the introduction of a new definition of the concept of “corruption behavior of internal affairs bodies’ personnel”. The author applies general scientific methods including analysis, synthesis, comparison, induction, deduction, analogy, classification and social and legal methods of cognition ensuring comprehensiveness of the study of corruption and corruption behavior of internal affairs bodies personnel. The author differentiates the concepts of corruption and corruption behavior and pays attention to crimes as a result of corruption behavior in the context of reasons and mechanisms, determining corruption behavior and ensuring self-determination of corruption. Special attention is given to the determinants of corruption and corruption behavior. The author actualizes the necessity to study the determinants of corruption and corruption behavior at three levels: social, group and individual. The author substantiates the optimality of the approach to the study of factors determining the extension of corruption, and factors determining corruption behavior based on three levels of classification of reasons and conditions of corruption and corruption behavior in the system of internal affairs bodies. Since the internal affairs bodies form a social system (a definite integral formation whose main elements are people, their connections and interactions), and every system functions in a definite milieu, affecting it in various ways. It makes the system react and adapt to the new conditions and requirements. The author offers a new definition to the “corruption behavior of internal affairs bodies’ personnel” concept, which is highly operational for the further consideration of legal and organizational mechanisms of anti-corruption behavior of internal affairs bodies’ personnel formation.

Abstract: The article deals with criminological, legal and administrative measures of corruption-related crimes combating. The object of the research is the range of public relations arising during the prevention of corruption-related crimes. The subject of the study includes the measures against corruption-related crimes. The author considers the content of corruption in law-enforcement bodies, the measures to prevent corruption-related crimes, especially corruption in law-enforcement bodies. The aim of the study is to reveal the main causes of corruption crimes and to develop proposals for a system of measures to counter corruption in the system of the Interior. The author applies the dialectical method of research, the method of comparative study, analysis and deduction. The article presents the complex study of measures of corruption combating in the internal affairs bodies. The authors offer concrete measures aimed at reduction of corruption-related crimes in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The study of corruption-related crimes in the internal affairs bodies shoes a close interrelation of economic and moral and ethical reasons of corruption. The level of corruption is especially influenced by the moral and ethical crisis of the society, the low salary rates relative to the complexity and intensity of work and hard economic conditions of the police officers.

Abstract: The subject of the research is official forgery, the most widespread crime against public authority, interests of public service and local authorities. Its share in the period of 1997 – 2015 was from 28,2 to 34,2%. The studied law-enforcement practice shows that illegal turnover of official documents is very often combined with other types of crimes. It should be admitted that various crimes cause specific and heterogeneous forms of documents forgery, therefore each particular case requires not only the comparison of the signs of forgery as an independent crime, but also the investigation of other peculiarities of the deed. The authors apply the comparative-legal method to analyze a wide range of materials, scientific literature and printed media. The formal-legal method helps to formulate the authors’ definitions. The authors suppose that the publishing, keeping, protection and issue of official documents are the main functions of officials, public servants and local authorities’ servants. The deeds of officials who had committed official documents forgery using their authority against the interests of their service, in their personal interests, which caused significant violation of rights and interests of other citizens or organizations, or the protected by the law interests of the society or the state, should not be considered as a competition of a general and a special rule, but should be qualified in the totality of articles 285 and 292 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Abstract: In this article the author has studied the index of attitude towards corruption by the population towards the State Traffi c Inspectorate (STI) staff, as well as attitude and cognition of corruption manifestation by the STI staff themselves. Based upon the earlier studies on causes and conditions for corruptions in the STI the author analyzed the special anti-corruption education programs, which are implemented in the higher education institutions of the MIA of Russia. Based upon the analysis of statistical data on revealed corruption offences in the STI divisions the author makes a conclusion on the need to develop and implement professional anti-corruption education programs. In the process of research the author collected, systematized, analyzed existing educational anti-corruption programs within the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The STI of Russia should develop and implement its own specialized anti-corruption programs and educational programs, since professional activities of the STI staff are directly connected with daily resolution of confl icts. These programs should be based on specifi c features of work of every division or every category of professional position, as well as on specifi c features of their involvement into the resolution of confl icts.

Abstract: The article provides analysis of legal and organizational problems regarding implementation of anti-corruption standards of service behavior of state civil servants. The authors note that relevant standards form an integral part of administrative legal status of these persons. It is also noted that with the aid of various administrative legal means the state forms the environment, which shall not be susceptible to various corruption offences. The studies and experience of anti-corruption policy in a whole range of states have shown that the most effi cient legal means against corruption within the system of state service, state government and administration bodies are administrative legal means. With the skillful use of these means it is possible to form a social and administrative environment, which shall be unsuitable for existence and development of corruption. The methodological basis for the scientifi c article was formed by the current achievements of the theory of cognition. In the process of studies the author used general philosophical, theoretical and empiric methods (dialectics, systemic method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, modeling), traditional legal methods ( formal logic method), and methods typical for specifi c sociological studies (statistical, expert evaluation, etc.). In the modern social, economic and political conditions the Russian Federation faces many challenges and threats of various nature. The problem of corruption is among the most serious problems signifi cantly precluding many public reforms, infringing upon the rights and freedoms of natural persons and legal entities, interacting with the state government and administration bodies. This problem involved public interests of the state throughout the development of human civilization and statehood.

Abstract: The article contains analysis of nature, value and role of disciplinary activity of offi cials as legal means for guaranteeing equality of all persons under law and in court. Accent is made on the contents of administrative legal norms, providing for the responsibility for corruption. The author points out the administrative legal bases for the development of anti-corruption activities of state offi cials within the modernization framework. The author considers that in order to guarantee equality of all persons under law and in court, it is necessary to strengthen control and disciplinary responsibility of all subjects of state and municipal service. The population of the Russian Federation, living at the time of mass corruption, is gravely concerned with the cases, when state and municipal offi cials depart from the principle of equality of all persons under law and in court. The requirement of the Constitution of the Russian Federation to guarantee such equality is of special importance for the judges, arbitrators and jurors, who implement judicial functions and guarantee equal judicial protection of rights and freedoms to all.

Abstract: The article focuses on the issues of combating corruption in China. The article notes that corruption is a system threat to the security of many countries, including the People's Republic of China. The article contains the analysis of anti-corruption articles of the Criminal code of China (1997), and the status and dynamics of fighting corruption in this country using legal and administrative means. The importance of this issue is based on the fact that at present corruption causes deep concern. The authors ground the necessity to strengthen all the legal measures of fighting corruption in the implementation of the national anti-corruption plan taking into account the Chinese experience in this sphere. It is proposed to develop anti-corruption legislation, which will contribute to a more effective struggle against this phenomenon and strengthen the preventive function of administrative law.The methodological basis comprises the recent achievements in epistemology. The authors apply general philosophical and theoretical methods (dialectics, the system method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, modeling), traditional legal methods (formal logical), and the methods used in specific sociological studies (statistical, expert evaluation, etc.).The main conclusion of the study runs that at present, in order to ensure legality, it is necessary to improve forms and methods of combating corruption using administrative legal and criminal legal means. The main contribution of the authors is the conclustion about the necessity to develop legal regulation of fighting corruption. The novelty of the article lies in the proposals about the development of forms and methods of fighting corruption based on the experience of China.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the evaluation of the specific features of the anti-corruption expertise of normative legal acts and drafts of normative legal acts of the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation. The topicality of this issue is due to its debatable character and it being relatively unstudied within the theory of administrative law. The author analyzes the views of various scientists on defining anti-corruption expertise of normative legal acts and draft normative legal acts. The author then singles out the characteristic features of the anti-corruption expertise of normative legal acts and drafts of normative legal acts of the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation. Based upon the study the author provides her own definition of the anti-corruption expertise of normative legal acts and drafts of normative legal acts of the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation. Fighting corruption is a complicated systemic activity, and it is aimed at lowering the amount and neutralizing of the corruption elements in a state, formation of administrative thresholds against it. In the process of the studies the author employed the following methods: general philosophical, theoretical, empiric (dialectic, systemic, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, modeling), as well as traditional legal methods (formal logic), and specialized sociological methods (statistics, expert evaluations, etc.). Preventive and prophylactic measures play a special role within the range of means used against corruption, and an important place belongs to organizational and legal means for the improvement of legislative activities. The quality of a normative legal act regulating social relations depends on the efficiency of anti-corruption expertise to a significant extent. Therefore, the use of the anti-corruption expertise mechanism at the stage of drafting of a normative legal act, and namely, establishing the corruption-generating factors, reporting of export opinions, following the procedure of anti-corruption expertise , should preclude formation of corruption elements within the legislative system.

Abstract: It should be noted that membership of the Russian Federation in a number of international organizations imposes many international legal obligations on it, including those in the sphere of fi ghting corruption within the state service system. It may be proven by ratifi cation of the UN Convention against Corruption in 2006. That is why, studying the norms of international law containing legal means of its prevention and interception forms a priority direction for the studies in the sphere of fi ghting corruption. A number of legal and organizational events may be held in this sphere: holding scientifi c studies of corruption problems, mutual consultations in the sphere of fi ghting corruption. The methodological basis for the article was formed with the modern achievements of the cognition theory. In the process of studies the author used general philosophical, theoretical and empiric methods (dialectics, systemic method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, modeling), traditional legal methods ( formal logic method), and methods typical for specifi c sociological studies (statistical, expert evaluation, etc.). Consultations on the problems of national and international corruption could have aided the states in joining their efforts for the sake of prevention and interception of corruption, forming databases on national laws, forms, methods and means of prevention and interception of corruption, providing assistance in choice and training of the personnel for the anticorruption campaigns, as well as the development of anti-corruption standards for the behavior of public servants and anti-corruption expertise of legal norms, etc.

Abstract: The research provides quantitative and qualitative assessment of the official statistical rates of corruption related crimes in Russia’s economics. The analysis of statistical indexes helps provide insight into the condition and the dynamics of corruption-related crimes as the components of economic crimes in the period of 2012 – 2014. The author considers the assessments of victims of crimes against property, crimes in the economic sphere, crimes against service in commercial and other organizations, crimes against public authority, interests of public service and local governments as the components of corruption-related crimes in the economic sphere. The author points out particular problems of Russian victimologic statistics, hampering the understanding of the processes in this criminal milieu. The author applies the method of comparison of quantitative and qualitative indexes of victims of corruption-related economic crimes. The author compares the quantitative indexes ratio with the total number of economic and corruption-related crimes for this period. The author characterizes the quantitative and qualitative indexes of Russia’s victimologic statistics of corruption-related economic crimes for 2012 – 2014. The author concludes that the official departmental statistic information is based on the principle of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and its chapters. At the same time, according to the order of the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation, the formation of statistical indexes of crimes is based on the objective and subjective essential elements of particular offences. It demonstrates the decrease of the number of crimes of this type along with the significant growth of the amount of material damage to legal entities.

Abstract: The article studies corruption-related crimes in the social sphere. The author notes the common feature of corruption-related crimes in this sphere in Russia and abroad – the absence of special components of corruption-related crimes in the social sphere. Indeed, the legislation of Russia and foreign state doesn’t provide special components of corruption-related crimes in the social sphere. The only exceptions are the acts of corruption in particular public functions (for example, in delivery of justice). In such cases, special components of corruption-related crimes are separated on the base of the peculiarities of a subject or an object of a crime and are limited to performing the functions in the sphere of delivery of justice, electoral law, military service, etc. The research methodology is based on the dialectical method with its requirements for objectivity, comprehensiveness, historicism and the specificity of truth. The author applies general scientific methods, including the methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison and measurement. Among special methods, the author uses formal legal and comparative legal methods. The author finds out that in the states with the prevailing private sector of the economy, there are practically no corruption-related crimes on the basic level, i.e. on the level of interaction between a student or a patient with a teacher or a doctor, since most corruption-related crimes are committed on the level of subjects interacting with public authorities (private clinic, private educational institutions, etc.).

Abstract: The subject of the research is the means of combating corruption in the bodies of Internal Affairs. The subject of the research is anti-corruption education. The object of the research is the anti-corruption education, which consists of the gaining and the renewal of knowledge of the bodies’ of Internal Affairs personnel in the sphere of combating corruption, and the formation of the anticorruption code of conduct. The author considers the aspects which show that the effi ciency of anticorruption education in the system of the bodies of Internal Affairs will be successful only when the anti-corruption educational programs will be worked out for different categories of the Internal Affairs bodies’ personnel. The special attention is paid to the fact that within these programs should be studied not only the general questions of the state anti-corruption policy, the other states’ experience in corruption prevention and combating, and the relevant criminal legislation, but also the special measures and mechanisms of combating corruption. The author uses the general philosophical methods (dialectics, the system approach, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, modeling), the traditional juridical methods (formal logical), and the methods which are used in the special sociological research (statistical, expert evaluation, etc.). The author comes to the conclusion that the measures which are being realized in the bodies of Internal Affairs, deal with the provision of data about the incomes, the expenditures, the property, and the property commitments. The author concludes that the informing of the employer representative by the Internal Affairs bodies’ personnel about the facts of inclinations to commit the delinquency of a corruption character, and the anti-corruption inspections contribute to the combating corruption work. The originality of the article consists in the fact that the anti-corruption education is the most effi cient and perspective way of combating corruption in the bodies of Internal Affairs.

Abstract: The author considers such aspects of the topic as international legal standards of the struggle against corruption in the social sphere. Despite the serious character of the problem of corruption-related crimes in the social sphere – especially in the developing states – the existing international statutes consider the struggle against corruption in general, not paying any special attention to the corruption in the social sphere. Corruption in the social sphere is in the focus of specialized universal institutions, working in the social sphere (WHO, UNESCO); it is regulated by regional and supranational legislation. The author applies the set of general scientific and special methods of cognition of socio-legal reality. The research methodology includes the dialectical method with the typical requirements for objectivity, comprehensiveness, historicism and the solidity of truth. Among the most topical tendencies of international statutes development in the field of the struggle against corruption (including the corruption in the social sphere), the author names the involvement of non-governmental organizations and the strengthening of anti-corruption impact on commercial entities; the extension of the notion of corruption on illegal actions of officials of commercial entities along with the actions of public officials. The author notes that for the purpose of the struggle against corruption, international law counts upon the criminalization of corruption-related activities of legal entities. This fact is of a special importance for the social sphere.
