The article aims to make the characteristics of state and to identify the peculiarities of raiding on the enterprises of fuel and energy sector. To achieve the goals the following tasks should be solved: to define the concept of "raiding", to develop the concept of "raiding appeal", to describe the status and trends of transformation of fuel and energy sector, to identify the factors that influence the formation and implementation of raider attacks. The authors’ definition of "raiding" has acquired the significant importance. It is characterized from the position of the complex of actions which aim to create a negative situation that leads to disruption of "normal" functioning of the entities in the energy sector or to their capture. The proposed concept of "raiding appeal" is considered as a system of believes, which includes the legal and information basis, evaluation procedures relating to setting of the integral criterion, the formation of information and analytical support and management decisions to counter raiding on the fuel and energy complex. It has been determined the necessity of the operation of a special unit to provide counteraction to raiding, which operates on the basis of the relevant provisions. It includes the following sections: regulatory and legal framework which governs its activities; rights and obligations; function; management structure; trends and features of combating forced seizure of the fuel and energy complex; implementation areas of functioning unit specialized in the operation of the fuel and energy complex; interoperability of specialized unit with other structural elements of the fuel and energy complex. It has been determined the need for antiraiding Code, which is to create and implement a set of measures to counteraction to raiding on the enterprises of the fuel and energy complex. Herewith, we should consider the features of information policy, directions of application of legal security, corporate relationships, the level of interaction between units of fuel and energy complex and different groups of stakeholders, directions and measures to counteraction to raiding, the definition of responsible persons and presented directions and implementation activities. The analysis of the status and characteristics of raiding in the energy complex have allowed us to create an information basis for management decisions, including areas of cooperation between stakeholders.

The main parameters of the operational situation in the field of subsoil use and protection are determined, namely: regulatory and legal support of counteraction to criminal offenses in the field of subsoil use and protection; subjects of state control and counteraction to criminal offenses and their effectiveness in the exercise of their powers; efficiency of implementation of control measures in the field of subsoil use and protection. It is concluded that the availability of: a single information space, generalization and integration of various information from government agencies, operational and other sources will significantly increase the effectiveness of the assessment of the operational situation in the field of combating crimes in the field of subsoil use and protection; constant objective analytical study of information flows and independent of the interests of individual services assessment to ensure the deployment of operational units; forecasting probable forms and directions of development of criminal processes in the field of subsoil use and protection. It is concluded that the main parameters of the operational situation in the field of subsoil use and protection are: regulatory and legal support for combating criminal offenses in the field of subsoil use and protection; subjects of state control and counteraction to criminal offenses and their effectiveness in the exercise of their powers; efficiency of implementation of control measures in the field of subsoil use and protection. The availability of: a single information space, generalization and integration of various information received from state bodies, operational and other sources will significantly increase the effectiveness of the assessment of the operational situation in the field of combating crimes in the field of subsoil use and protection; constant objective analytical study of information flows and independent of the interests of individual services assessment to ensure the deployment of operational units; forecasting probable forms and directions of development of criminal processes in the field of subsoil use and protection.

The article emphasizes the fact that one of the most dangerous types of international criminal business that grossly violates the rights of the individual is human trafficking. According to United Nations experts, this type of crime ranks third in terms of profitability after drug and arms trafficking. The realities of today prove that the era of combating human trafficking through the use of long-known methods is over. They should be replaced by new methods of crime detection using information technology, specialized software with the involvement of specialized analysts. Effective counteraction, in particular to the prevention of crimes related to human trafficking, requires proper cooperation of units for combating crimes related to human trafficking, the National Police of Ukraine with other actors in combating such crimes and is impossible without studying and taking into account legal, organizational and tactical factors in the functioning of operational units. Research carried out in this area also requires a comprehensive approach. The article considers the current state and problems of organizational and analytical support of operational units during the operational search for signs of crimes related to human trafficking, determines its specifics, suggests ways for improving it as a management tool. The differences between the concepts of “information and analytical support” and “information support” are identified, it led to the conclusion that these concepts can not be identified due to the fact that they are different in nature and relate to each other as general and partial. To understand the essence of information and analytical work and information and analytical support, it is necessary to turn to the very concepts of analysis. Features of information support of operative search of signs of crimes connected with human trafficking are defined. Features of information and analytical support of operative search of signs of the crimes connected with human trafficking are opened, definition of its concept is offered.

In the publication according to the results of the analysis of the main international and national regulations of financial monitoring on the basis of the historical approach the directions of improvement of normative – legal maintenance in the field of prevention and counteraction to legalization of illegal incomes in Ukraine are outlined. The peculiarities of the main historical stages of the formation of the financial intelligence unit in Ukraine – the national center for analysis of information on suspicious transactions and other information on money laundering, terrorist financing, and financing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction are discloses. The issues of implementation of the provisions of international normative acts regulating the sphere of counteraction to legalization (laundering) of proceeds from crime, financing of terrorism and financing of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction at the international level are highlighted, in particular, the standards developed by the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF) and the Directives of the European Parliament and the Council of the EU, United Nations documents, international conventions ratified by Ukraine. Considerable attention is paid to the need for further harmonization of national and international legislation in the field of financial monitoring. It is proposed to take into account the conceptual principles of behavioral economics when improving the regulatory and legal support of financial monitoring (bylaws), in particular regarding the application of risk-oriented approach when analyzing and identifying suspicious financial transactions and identifying the ultimate beneficial owner of the client. The necessity of scientific research in the researched field in the traditional professional directions: “Money, finance and credit” and “Administrative law and process; finance law; information law”, and in related scientific specialties: “Economics and management of the national economy” (in the field of “Economic security of the national economy”), and “Accounting, analysis and audit (by type of economic activity)” (in the areas of “Organization of auditing: the specifics of formation and the functioning of audit services”, and “Accounting and analytical operations, their standardization and unification”) is substantiated.

The article deals with issues of scientific elaboration of the problems of counteracting mercenary and violent crimes in Ukraine and the main directions of their scientific research. The article analyzes the main provisions of modern scientific developments in the field of criminal law, criminology, criminalistics, the theory of operational-search activity. The author, based on the analysis of existing points of view, the results of personal research, expresses his attitude to the aforementioned issue and proposes qualitatively new approaches to defining promising areas of scientific research on the issues of operational-search counteraction to mercenary and violent crimes in Ukraine. It is determined that the purpose of the article is to analyze the current state of scientific development of problems of operational and investigative counteraction to mercenary and violent crimes in Ukraine and outline promising areas of research on operational and investigative counteraction to mercenary and violent crimes in Ukraine in modern conditions. In the article the author analyzes in detail the scientific works of domestic scientists of different times on various aspects of combating mercenary and violent crime. In particular, issues of criminal law, criminology, forensic, criminal procedure and operational and investigative nature are studied. It is noted that in the territory of independent Ukraine a large number of scientists have studied the problematic issues of operational and investigative counteraction to mercenary and violent crimes both at the level of dissertations and at the level of scientific articles and textbooks. The author argues that the study of dissertations and monographs in recent years indicates a lack of general theoretical and organizational and tactical issues of operational and investigative counteraction to mercenary and violent crimes in Ukraine. Today remain: undefined and undeveloped: issues of normative-legal regulation of operative-search counteraction to mercenary-violent crimes; determining the features of operational and investigative characteristics of mercenary and violent crimes in Ukraine; content and direc-tions of improvement of information-analytical support of operative-search counteraction to mercenary-violent crimes; directions of internal and external cooperation of the National Police units in combating mercenary and violent crimes in Ukraine; tactical features of operational and investigative measures to combat mercenary and violent crimes in Ukraine, etc.

This study examines the practice of integrating technology into the activities of anti-corruption bodies in Ukraine and ways to use technology to ensure accountability of public authorities. To analyze the state and identify prospects for the use of modern technologies in the field of anti- corruption in public administration, the materials of bodies in the field of anti-corruption activities of Ukraine were used. Methods of statistical analysis and content analysis were used to identify the state of e-government in the field of anti-corruption. In Ukraine, the processes of formation of anti-corruption infrastructure are taking place through the creation of specialized bodies for combating corruption and automation, digitalization of their activities. It is determined that in Ukraine the processes of development of e-government of anti-corruption bodies are actively taking place, which ensures accountability and transparency of activity in various directions. Among the main areas of technology implementation, where there is the highest level of corruption risks: investigation of corruption offenses; digitalization of privatization processes, which increases revenues to the state budget by 6 times compared to the planned volumes; digitalization of declaration of income and property of public authorities; development of websites and portals of open data on the activities of public authorities; digitalization of administrative services; digitalization of public procurement. Among the main areas of use of technologies to combat corruption – accountable automated processes of privatization of state property. Development of information and analytical support is aimed at automating the processes of pre-trial investigations and criminal proceedings, information protection. As a tool for accountability, information and analytical systems may be ineffective due to the abuse of power by higher anti-corruption bodies due to political pressure from elite structures.

The article focuses on counteraction to corruption offences in Ukraine and the EU. To this end, the authors conducted a consistent analysis of international legal acts in the field of combating corruption, in particular the United Nations Convention against Corruption of 10/31/2003; Council of Europe Criminal Convention for the Suppression of Corruption (ETS 173) No. ETS173 of 01/27/1999; Resolutions (97)24 of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on the Twenty Guiding Principles for the Fight against Corruption, etc. The study provides a systemic analysis of individual cases of experience in counteraction to corruption offences in EU countries. Experience of Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, etc. is explored. The authors proved that all EU countries provide criminal liability for committing corruption offences. In different countries, criminal laws differ in the different levels of detailing of crime, as well as in the different content of the concept of corruption offence. It is proven that corruption must always be considered as criminal offence only. Today, such unambiguity is advisable in the fight against corruption in Ukraine, where the criminalization of a number of blatantly corrupt practices, such as unjust enrichment, lasts for a long period and is ambiguously effective. The article also concludes that the most effective approach of legal support for combating corruption is one that covers criminal prosecution, disclosure of information about public authorities and private entities, their income levels, their wealth, etc., as well as the interaction of law enforcement agencies with the fiscal authorities. On the example of EU countries, we showed that monitoring of financial information of public officials under the private and public laws with the proper level of analytical support for its processing provides the necessary basis for law enforcement agencies to initiate criminal proceedings for such crimes. Special attention is also paid to expanding the scope of administrative services provided by public officials as being covered by the attributes of corruption and lacking legislative support. This will significantly increase the level of transparency of the activity of public authorities, while reducing the level of corruption manifestations. An important conclusion of the article is that the effectiveness of criminal prosecution for committing corruption offences depends on the level of legal culture and the level of legal awareness of both the public and public servants.

In modern conditions of turbulence of economic processes of activity of law enforcement agencies testifies that effective counteraction to crime is impossible without active use of economic knowledge. Please note that the practical effectiveness of the mechanism for detecting and investigating economic crimes depends to some extent on the study of financial information that characterizes criminal activity. Meanwhile, it should be noted that at the stage of crime detection, financial monitoring of dubious financial transactions is used, inspections and audits of financial and economic activities of economic entities are conducted. At the stage of crime investigation, the timely appointment and conduct of forensic accounting examinations, the involvement of a specialist economist in investigative actions, etc. is important. Combating modern crime involves the integration of legal and economic knowledge, as well as the interaction of operational and investigative units of law enforcement agencies, which are directly involved in detecting and investigating crimes together with experts with economic knowledge. The article examines the conceptual and categorical apparatus of financial investigations and the role of law enforcement agencies in the process of detecting criminal activity. Information and analytical support of financial investigations is substantiated. As a result of scientific research, it is identified according to the classification features of the scheme of legalization (laundering) of criminal means. On the basis of which the three-phase model of legalization (laundering) of proceeds from crime is characterized, which consists of three stages: stages, stratification, integration.
