Abstract: The authors study one of the topical issues in the sphere of crimes prevention in cadastral activities – determination of criminological determinants of latency. Based on the results of a representative criminological study, the authors reveal the peculiarities, determining latent crimes in the sphere of cadastral activities. The authors analyze the contemporary state and the dynamics of crimes in the sphere under consideration, and focus on judicial practice; characterize the revealed determinants of latency of the considered compositions of crimes, and reveal the possible causes and factors of their formation; study the subject of crimes and the victimologic aspect. The methodological base of the research includes general theoretical and specific research methods of cognition, including criminological observation (statistical observation); interviewing and questioning of the officials of law enforcement agencies, specializing in investigation of crimes in the sphere of economic activities; study of the latest works on criminal law and criminology, the current legislation, and judicial practice; induction and deduction; statistical methods (collection and classification, detection of common features, statistical analysis). The importance of studying crime latency in the sphere of cadastral activities is actualized by the necessity to raise the effectiveness of application of criminal law and the prestige of law-enforcement agencies, which, everything else being equal, are negatively related to the latent crime rate, since at the high level of unrevealed and undetected, and, consequently, unpunished, crimes, many may want to satisfy their needs by committing a crime. The present work is the first and the only existing study of crime latency determinants in the sphere of cadastral activities. Its theoretical importance consists in the fact that its results can serve as a basis for the development of criminal-legal and criminological methods of crimes prevention in this sphere, and the development of proposals about the improvement of criminal legislation. The practical importance consists in the possibility to apply the achieved results for the purpose of prevention of crimes in cadastral sphere.

Abstract: The author of the article covers some issues that may be faced by law-enforcement agencies in the process of determining personal information of individuals who have committed violations of law. At the present time these legal relations are regulated by several articles of The Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. However, there are still a lot of issues that remain unsolved and become evident when the right to one's own name is exercised in the Russian Federation. The author of the article draws our attention to the fact that as a result of a number of objective and subjective reasons, it is not always possible to define personal information of individuals in the Russian Federation. The aforesaid problems are studied by the author using the logical method and systems approach, analysis and synthesis, formal law and comparative law methods. The main conclusion of the research is the author's position that there is a certain need in a better and fuller criminal protection of the right to one's own name by introducing the term 'false identity' into the criminal law sphere. The author also emphasizes the need to legally fix a responsibility for 'false identity' usage when an individual tries to avoid punishment or make the process of justice more complicated. This responsibility should be fixed in The Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Abstract: The purpose of the article is to present a comprehensive description of violence at penitentiary institutions (hereinafter referred to as PI) in the Republic of Kazakhstan taking into account the current realities. The authors reflect the qualitative and quantitative parameters of violent crime at penitentiary institutions typical for Russia and Kazakhstan. The author identifies a complex of factors influencing the formation of antisocial views in places of detention, and modern trends affecting the strengthening of criminal manifestations by convicts serving sentences at penitentiary institutions. A comprehensive approach to the criminological and forensic description of violent crime in modern conditions, including organized criminal groups in Russia and Kazakhstan, has been carried out. The main focus of the article is on the organizational and managerial factor that is associated with the insufficient activity of the administration of the PI itself and the omissions that they make. The author's position on the main reasons for the increase in the aggressiveness of convicts and the high latency of the observed penitentiary crime in prisons is presented. The author of the article substantiates and argues the circumstances that require an integrated approach to the study of such a complex and multifaceted nature of violent crime in the penitentiary institution, which allows you to determine the most effective tactics to counter this socially dangerous phenomenon. The structural elements of the criminological and forensic characteristics that determine the specificity of the crimes committed by the special contingent of the PI are shown. Thus, the criminology and forensic characterization described in the article covers a fairly wide range of their elements. This makes it possible to study this element from complex positions facilitating the development of an investigation technique for this category of crimes.

Abstract: One of the reasons why struggle against corruption hasn’t been effective enough, is the absence of proactive measures taken by field agents when detecting and investigating the facts of bribe taking and bribery mediation. The research subject of the article is the essence and the content of a proactive legendized sting operation. The aim of the research is to analyze law-enforcement practice in the above mentioned direction, and to determine the potential of such operations in accordance with the current Russian legislation and without the involvement of acts of provocation or incitement. The research methodology includes general scientific methods and special research methods, including those of the forensic science. Based on the analysis, the authors detect the problem of contingent passivity of field agents and investigators and non-use of the proactivity principle in detecting and investigating bribery and other corruption-related crimes. The authors find out that the traditional approach to conducting a sting operation during the investigation of cases related to this category is not effective, and the legislator and judicial practice do not set exact criteria for the conduction of intelligence operations without the involvement of illegal acts of provocation or incitement. Based on the analysis of intelligence operations and investigative activities, the authors formulate the model of a proactive legendized sting operation and the rules, prohibiting the violation of laws, and claim that the proposed approach can significantly raise the effectiveness of struggle against corruption.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the instable monetary and financial credit systems that create a threat for economic security of Russia. The authors of the article emphasize the need to develop the national system of payment cards and legally consolidate the list of contractual obligations of using them. The authors focus on the legal nature of electronic money that is often the matter of crime committed against material benefits of a special kind because these are the rights of claim that refer to another kind of material benefits in the acting system of civil law objects. The methodology of the research is based on the analysis of applicable laws and regulations, doctrines of property items and practical fraud actions. The authors pay special attention to the method of interpretation. Based on the results of their research, the authors come to the conclusion that electronic money cannot be considered as cashless monetary funds. Development of electronic banking and appearance of new kinds of crime committed with the use of the most recent information technologies creates the need to establish an adequate system of interaction including so called computer criminal science as a particular branch thereof.

Abstract: The paper describes the peculiarities of the current condition of scientific support for the investigation of unsolved crimes in transport. The author states that there has been no research conducted on this issue either in dissertation theses, or any other forms. The peculiarities of forensic support for the investigation of unsolved crimes in transport haven’t been a research subject of any monographic study. This fact proves a serious gap in the forensic science. The scientific novelty of the study also consists in the fact that the research has an integrative nature; it accumulates various fragmentary pieces of knowledge in a uniform scientific concept, which reveals the scientific support for the investigation of unsolved crimes in transport. It helps describe a range of traditional aspects from an unconditional perspective.

Abstract: The paper studies legal terminology. The author emphasizes the fact that unambiguity in sense and functional stability are the features of a legal term, since each term of law should fully conform to the concept denoted and express its essence. The article gives attention to the uniqueness of legal terminology in the context of language and its role in policing. The author considers the problems of correct use of legal terms by legal professionals. The author substantiates the importance of correct use of terms. The author emphasizes the fact that the formation and development of means of expression of any branch of science are closely connected with the process of formation of this science and fully reflect the stages of its development. The used research method is the cognitive approach, including the methods of logical and conceptual analysis. The author carries out theoretical analysis of the system of legal terms and attempts to demonstrate what the modern legal terminology should be from the positions of the general theory of law. The scientific novelty of the study is determined by the set of tasks and the very object of the research. The author attempts to define the formal and conceptual features of the structure of the terminology system of law. Being an object of linguo-didactical study, legal terminology acts as a representative of a large family of languages for special purposes. Since the language of law lives and develops together with the society, its social, cultural, and historical role should be appreciated.

Abstract: The research subject is a discredit to internal affairs agencies as a negative social phenomenon threatening both the positive image of internal affairs bodies as a whole, and the honour, dignity and reputation of their particular employees. The research methodology is based on the dialectical approach to the problem under consideration, together with general scientific (formalization, analysis, modeling, and the empirical-inductive method) and theoretical methods of modern social sciences and the humanities (the structural-functional and the systems methods). The empirical part of the research is based on the quantitative and qualitative methods of sociology: the method of focus-groups, the method of narrative interviewing, and the method of sociological questioning which helps to trace back the influence of discrediting on the formation of professional awareness of internal affairs officers. The research helps to identify the most common forms of discrediting of internal affairs officers by citizens and the main mechanisms hampering effective counteraction to discrediting actions of people, and to establish the cause-and-effect relation between discrediting as a negative socio-legal phenomenon and the peculiarities of formation of professional awareness of internal affairs officers. The author concludes that in case if internal affairs officers are lenient with discrediting, their professional awareness becomes deformed which results in the unwillingness to perform their duties properly, the sensation of the absence of the prestige of the profession in the public eye, the prospects of career growth, and the formation of negative attitude towards citizens.
