CRIMINOLOGY ENFORCEMENT OF LAW ORDER IN THE ARMED FORCES OF UKRAINE

The author's definition of the concept of «criminological enforcement of law and order in the Armed Forces of Ukraine» is formulated and it is stated that crime in the military sphere has an extremely negative effect on the state of military discipline and law and order in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as on the state as a whole, being one of the internal indicators of law and order and social security. It has been proven that military crime (delict) naturally contributes to the decline of the authority of state power, the spread of fear in society of external and internal threats, anomie, immorality and disrespect for military personnel, which in turn reduces the prestige of military service. Indeed, the development of scientific and technical progress, the application of innovative methodological and legal approaches allows finding new, non-standard solutions to traditional problems of criminology (delictology). However, it should be added that the complication of military-political, socio-economic processes, as well as the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine created the conditions for an unprecedented increase in the level of military crime in our country. In view of the above, it is safe to say that the neglect of combating war crimes poses a real threat to Ukraine's national security. In this regard, traditional approaches to the prevention of military crime (delict) and its manifestations, which consist in the development of cumbersome complex programs (algorithms) and corresponding plans of preventive measures, as well as efforts to implement them, often lead to the adoption of unprofessionally formed normative legal resources, improper performance of tasks assigned by subjects of war crime prevention. Indicative of this is the development and implementation of various preventive, preventive, educational and legal measures (plans) by competent state bodies and structural units of the Law Enforcement Service aimed at solving current criminological tasks related to the prevention of offenses, the search for military personnel, and the disclosure of criminal proceedings in the military sphere.
