Abstract: In this article, based on the subjective analysis of a part of the law enforcement system (the established subsystem of joint activities of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Federal Service for the Protection of Human Rights in Russia), in the framework of the model of network law enforcement activity previously identified by the author, the practical mechanisms for implementing this model are verbally described in connection with the organization of an operational response to deviations in a criminal situation in a certain area by law enforcement forces. The practical mechanisms described in the article lay the foundations for improving the operational management of a complex dynamic criminal system in real time. The article is written on the basis of the provisions of the general theory of social management, cybernetics, information analysis. Methods of abstraction, dialectical materialism, economic determinism, interpretation, analysis and synthesis, structural-logical, spatio-temporal dependencies, cause-effect relationships, modeling, psychological analysis; Approaches to the subject under study: operational, personal-activity and collective-activity, competence, axiological, historical, conflictological, norms and anomalies, communicative, geoinformation, playful, ideological. The novelty of the work is predetermined by the hypothesis adopted on the basis of the network structure of society. From the standpoint of the theory of social management, the operational level of law enforcement management with reference to the domestic police and some cooperating law enforcement agencies, interested (based on the common purpose, territory, facilities, methods of joint activity) in achieving a concerted effort of the overall result - an acceptable level of operational Situation. Proceeding from this object, the model of interaction at the level of operational management of modern bodies and divisions of the Russian police with Rosgvardia units, which perform traditionally "policing" functions (protection of law and order and public security, combating crime) is considered as a research task. The result of the work was a further deepening of the general provisions on the theory of network law enforcement activity, developed and previously published by the author, with the identification of a corresponding verbal model of law enforcement activity. The scope of the results of this study is determined by the breadth of social and law enforcement practice, the principles and provisions described are universal in nature and can be applied by analogy (scaled) in different areas and levels in orderly harmonized law enforcement activities. The conclusions of the study confirm the admissibility of the choice of the hypothesis, demonstrating the contradictoriness of the social modern law-enforcement practice from the point of view of public expectations and the really manifested result embodied in the modern model of the organization of law enforcement activity.

Abstract: The use of some unfortunate language and additional shortcomings of the legal techniques, made at the development of Article 170.2 of the Criminal code of the Russian Federation, gave grounds for disputes about who is the offender. Due to abovementioned circumstances, the present study built on the study of the totality of criminal-legal and criminological characteristics, and relations characterizing the cadastral engineers, as special subjects of crimes against the order of the cadastral activities. The subject of study contains both criminal-legal characteristic of a special subject of the crime, and criminological analysis of the personality of cadastral engineers. The authors used the following methodology: interview, observation, method of generalization of independent characteristics, analysis of results of operations and litigation. The study of the subject of crimes against the order of the cadastral activities becomes relevant from a theoretical point of view since they provide an opportunity to identify approaches to studying how the criminal-legal characteristics of the crime and criminological study of the criminal personality in the sphere of cadastral activity. The study is also of great practical importance for law enforcement officials to investigate crimes in this area. One of the main performance indicators of the judge is not the statistics of cases handled, but the real remedy, therefore, this article, published in the journal, which corresponds with the world's largest search engines will provide discussion, application, and uniformity of court practice.

The main research method used by the author is the law comparative method to analyze personality of a criminal who committed an offence against the political system of the Russian Federation, and general research methods such as analysis and synthesis. The scientific novelty of the research is caused by the fact that for the first tie in the academic literature the author provides a criminalistic description of the personality of a criminal who committed an offence against the political system of the Russian Federation. The main conclusions are the following: criminalistic analysis of personality traits of a criminal who committed an offence against the political system of the Russian Federation allows to describe such a criminal as a young man without a steady source of income or rich life experience, whose sense of patriotism is either dulled or absent. Such individual has superficial, unsteady or accidental political motives that are formed, as a rule, by a set of circumstances of socio-economic and political nature.

The authors pay special attention to working with biological traces including blood found on the crime scene. The authors describe safety measures to be followed when detecting, extracting and packing weapon or ammunition. In the course of their research the authors have used a set of general and private research methods including standard logical method, systems analysis, synthesis, analysis, deduction, induction and other research methods. According to the authors, one of the most important today's goals of forensics should be improvement of examination tactics and criminalistic technical means that are already being used as well as testing and implementation of new findings in this sphere. Examination is not only the most famous and necessary investigator's action but also complex procedure.

Abstract: Hereafter, the authors attempt to determine the place of law enforcement agencies in the general system of authorities of quasi-states established in the territory of the northeastern provinces of the Republic of China in the 1930s-1940s. The state system of Manchukuo as the first among similar political formations and the experiment intended to become a visual demonstration of the correctness of the course chosen by the occupation authorities is the object of the study. The subject of the study is the law enforcement system of the kvazi-states of Northeast China on the example of Manchukuo as a "pattern state." The authors of the article give a general description of the state system, determine the authorities that carried out law enforcement activities, analyze their status, the order of formation, functions, and relationships with other state structures. The peculiarity of the law enforcement system was that the administrative division of the quasi-states of Northeast China was not homogeneous: provinces (aimaks, etc.), provinces and cities with special status were taken as independent units. In summary of the article, the authors come to conclusion about the effectiveness of the created system, which ensured the presence of occupation forces on the continent and the smooth functioning of the state apparatus.
