Abstract: This article explores the possibilities of using blockchain technology in police work. Examples of the use of blockchain in various areas of police activity, such as personal data management, control of drug trafficking and other prohibited substances, traffic monitoring and the fight against cybercrime, are considered. The authors note that thanks to the storage of data in the blockchain, it becomes possible to increase the protection of the confidentiality of personal information, ensure transparency and efficiency of police work, as well as prevent fraud and corruption. The conclusion of the article emphasizes that the use of blockchain can improve the work of the police and ensure greater security of citizens. Distributed ledger technology, or blockchain as a service (BaaS) is indeed a relatively new product on the market that allows you to provide blockchain services for corporate clients. This solution allows you to use more reliable and secure methods of data processing and transaction management within the organization. All these economic effects can lead to a reduction in costs and an increase in the efficiency of the police. In general, the use of blockchain technology in the police can have a number of advantages, such as increasing transparency and accountability, reducing data processing time and combating data falsification. However, it is necessary to take into account some risks, such as the possibility of data privacy violations, as well as difficulties in integrating with existing systems and training personnel. In general, the introduction of blockchain technology into the police requires careful analysis and an approach that takes into account all aspects of the use of technology and its impact on the organization.

Abstract: This article is a resume of the author’s scientific research on the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the last decade, which has blocked the access to the register of statements, reports, and other information about episodes. The research subject is a particular aspect of the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs connected with the restriction of access to such information allowing to form a valid point of view on the reason of such a phenomenon. Therefore, the research object is the phenomenon and its consequences for the society and the state causing the current problem situation the author focuses on. Special attention is given to the comparative characteristics of data reporting of police in Germany and Russia. The author uses the following research methods: comparative, statistical, logical. A special role belongs to the structural, functional, and dynamical methods which help to give comprehensive characteristics to the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The study is based on the firstly used classified information on the dynamics of the rise in the number of statements, reports and other types of information about episodes against the background of the low crime registration and detection rate which reveals a problem situation in the Ministry and gives an opportunity to see the practical achievements of the Ministry and their scientific presentation in a new light. The author suggests using the direct proportion method of legal statistics of the Ministry, in which the argument is the statistics on the number of statements, reports and other types of information about episodes, and the function is the number of registered and detected crimes.

Abstract: The subject of the study is the classification of inspection and search equipment. The object of research in the work is the tactical and technical characteristics of various samples of inspection and search equipment, the features of its design, the principles of operation of the devices. The paper discusses such classifiers as the type of the detected object, the design features of the product, the specifics of the impact on the surrounding space, the physical principle of operation. The author pays special attention to the search, formulation and discussion of classification features that allow us to fully characterize not only the purpose and design of a specific inspection or search technical means, but also the principle of operation, in order to form a single conceptual apparatus in the subject area. The main results of the study are a comprehensive consideration of the classification of inspection and search equipment, the formulation of the names of groups of inspection and search equipment, based on its principle of operation. Within the framework of individual groups, an additional division of equipment into subgroups is proposed, which allows even more accurately characterizing its capabilities. The novelty of the research also lies in the discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of classifying signs of inspection and search equipment, in the proposal of a classification scheme based on the physical principles of the devices. For a more complete understanding of the developed classification, the author provides examples of search and inspection devices of different types according to the developed criteria.

Abstract: At present, microfinancing and credit organizations have become widespread on the lending market. Using the advantages of the Internet, these actors of the financial market overcome territorial borders and try to attract the potential borrowers. With the help of websites, creditors inform the public about the conditions of a cash loan or a micro loan. The research reveals the existing drawbacks of the legislation, connected with the borrowers informing via the Internet. The absence of the list of official websites of microfinancing institutions also causes concern, since it infringes the information security of the person. The author applies the hermeneutical method, the methods of analysis and synthesis, the systems method, the comparative-legal method, and other methods of legal research. The author finds out that the level of information transparency of microfinancing institutions doesn’t conform to the requirements of information security of the person in lending operations. The author formulates the list of general problems of borrowers informing, including the Internet sources usage; their solution can improve the security of microfinancing. Due to the absence of a complex study of information and legal regulation of provision of credit services via the Internet in administrative law, the authors conclude that the development of the institution of legal regulation of borrowers informing is necessary.

The authors apply the methods of analysis, synthesis, modeling, prognostication, statistical and sociological methods, the principle of unity of the research subject and the research method, the principle of scientific correctness. The authors conclude that at present it is possible to develop the uniform state policy in the sphere of toughening the liability for the infringement of information security of children. The main directions of this policy should be legislated in the conceptual documents, such as the Concept of Information Security of Minors and the 2016 Doctrine of Information Security of the Russian Federation. The contradictions in the terminology of the existing documents should be eliminated.

Abstract: The purpose of the research is the detection of victimilogical tendencies of the modern Russian economic crimes using the statistical data for 2009 – 2014. The detection and comparison of quantitative and qualitative rates of the victimological condition of Russian economic crimes helps prognosticate the tendencies to the reorientation of economic crimes on legal entities and the public sector of the economy. The conclusions of the research help identify the problems of the formation of statistical rates of its elements. The study is aimed at the analysis, assessment and comparison of the current victimological statistical changes and the dynamics of the contemporary economic crimes, and the acquisition of data, helping assess the damage, inflicted by economic crimes on the population. The author concludes that along with the decrease of the number of registered crimes, the population victimity rates in particular categories of economic crimes are increasing. This growth shows that it is necessary not only to study each type of crimes, but also to keep statistical records of the quantitative rates of the victims of economic crimes and their categories, i.e. men and women, legal entities and self-employed entrepreneurs, public organizations and local authorities.
