Abstract: The subject of the article is the disclosure of the concept of the information society in the scientific and educational literature as well as the importance of the principle of transparency of public administration for the sustainable development of the information society. The analysis of existing international and national regulations, containing the principle of transparency (openness, transparency) in public administration and public service showed a direct correlation with the development of the information society. At present, the principle of transparency is found in international agreements and national regulations, that are actively being developed on the scientific and methodological levels. However, this principle is not always clearly indicated in the basic regulations governing the civil service of the Russian Federation and the development of public administration, which creates the need to consolidate the regulatory principle of the sustainable development of the information society. The general philosophical, theoretical methods (dialectics, comparative method, system analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, modeling) and traditional legal methods (formal logic) and techniques used in practical surveys (expert judgment and others) have been applied during the study. The main conclusion drawn from the study is that it is necessary to establish a normative principle of transparency in laws and regulations in the field of public administration of the Russian Federation. The main contribution that is made by the author, is the comparative analysis of the terms "information society" and "transparency" ("openness") of public administration and the civil service for their close relationship with respect to the construction and sustainable development of the information society and improving the quality of life of citizens. The novelty of the article is caused by the fact that the author offers her own model of sustainable development of the information society on the basis of the universal principle of transparency of public administration.

Abstract: The subject of research in this article is citizens registration at the place of residence in the Russian Federation as one of the primary activities of internal affairs bodies. The purpose of the research is to analyze the registration activity of internal affairs bodies in the field of migration, theorize its independence, and develop scientific and methodical recommendations on how to improve Russia’s legislation and law enforcement practice in the field of interest with account for the modern demands of Russian society.  The author uses both general scientific (historical, dialectical, comparative, deductive and inductive), and special legal research methods, such as the comparative legal method.  The topicality of the research is determined by the undervaluation, in the author’s opinion, of the role of citizens registration in the Russian Federation in the field of national security provision, and by the necessity to create a more efficient system of quantitative accounting of the population in the Russian Federation compared with the current registration system.

Abstract: The subject of the present research is the main directions of collaborate activities undertaken by the Russian police and civil society institutions to teach tolerance to the population. Special emphasis is made on the interaction between internal affairs bodies and religious organizations on the matters of teaching tolerance to young people in the XXIth century. In her article Menshikova describes procedural and institutional basis of collaborate activities of police and religious organizations aimed at developing the culture of tolerance and preventing inter-religious and inter-ethnic conflicts in the Russian Federation. The methodological basis of the research involves general scientific methods (theoretical law method, systems approach, comparative law method). The author has also used the methods of the theoretical modeling and interpretation of legal ideas, laws and regulations. The scientific novelty of the research is caused, first of all, by the author's attempt to conduct a comprehensive analysis of laws and regulations that fix the forms and directions of cooperation between police and civil society institutions on teaching tolerance, such analysis has never been presented in the academic literature, as well as the author's description of the main directions of such cooperation in today's Russia. At the end of the article the author comes to the conclusion that being the most authoritative religious organization in Russia the Russian Orthodox Church plays an active role as an ally of police and government in the sphere of teaching the culture of tolerance, extremism prevention, terrorism and other crimes committed on national or inter-religious grounds. In modern Russia tolerance is the foundation of civil peace.

The research subject is the crime prevention legislation, administrative responsibility laws, federal and regional program-targeted documents regulating the sphere of domestic violence, and theoretical insights into this topic. The purpose of the research is to analyze regional tendencies of legal regulation of the prevention of assault and torture, as a part of the system of domestic violence prevention in Russia. To achieve this goal and research tasks, the author uses general scientific (analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction) and specific research methods, with the formal-legal method as a basic one, which is connected with the analysis of legal regulations in their system unity. The scientific novelty of the research is proved by the fact that regional peculiarities of legal regulation of the prevention of assault and torture as a part of the system of domestic violence prevention haven’t been studied sufficiently enough. Assault and torture are the factors signalling about the aggravation of home conflicts and leading to the further escalation. In Russia, municipalities create  a system of measures which includes some or all of the following elements: 1) the formation of public awareness about the domestic violence problem; 2) information and methodology support for the activities of law-enforcement agencies and social services responsible for the prevention of domestic violence; 3) the provision of interaction between medical institutions and law-enforcement bodies and social services; 4) the introduction of punishment for home rowdyism and the provocation of home conflicts.

Abstract: The article deals with the actual problem of forming public trust in the police as a social institution. It is stated that in recent years there has been an increase in public confidence in the police, but there is still a significant resource to increase it. A number of reasons and conditions preventing the formation of a positive public opinion about the police are analyzed. Attention is focused on the implementation of the image of the police and its work with young people. As a result of the study, the most significant reasons and conditions contributing to the growth of public trust in the context of improving law enforcement are identified and substantiated. The author describes in sufficient detail the conditions affecting the formation of the assessment of public opinion about the police. The positive/negative factors of the external environment affecting the vital activity of citizens in the subordinate territory, but not included in the direct competence and functionality of the police, are considered.  To solve the tasks and verify the initial theoretical positions, a set of research methods was used: universal dialectical, logical, formal-legal, teleological. The conditions of direct and indirect influence on the formation of public trust in the police include the following: high results of police activity in the protection of public order and public safety; the current situation in the subordinate administrative area, interaction with the district police commissioner; favorable/unfavorable environmental conditions (the number of unemployed, living conditions, leisure conditions, etc.); information circulating in society (mass media, mass media); implementation of the image policy of the law enforcement agency, the activities of public councils; involvement of the active part of youth in social partnership for the maintenance of law and order and crime prevention. The police, as the most active social factor in building relations with the population, need to strengthen the influence of positive conditions of interaction and channels of communication with citizens, public associations and government agencies, and minimize the influence of negative conditions considered in this study, which will contribute to increasing public confidence in the police and improving law enforcement.
