DIRECTIONS OF INTERACTION BETWEEN SUBJECTS OF COMBATING CRIMINAL OFFENSES IN UKRAINE

Abstract

The article emphasizes that the areas of interaction are a key substantive element of the modern system of combating crime, since they provide targeted, meaningful, flexible and adaptive cooperation between subjects in order to achieve specific results - prevention, detection, documentation, disclosure and investigation of criminal offenses. They determine the practical scope of the implementation of powers, combine resources and competencies of various institutions, allow for a coordinated response to dynamic criminogenic challenges and contribute to the effective implementation of national and international criminal law policy.
It is argued that among the most distinct unique features of the areas, it is worth highlighting their substantive specificity, operational nature, ability to quickly adapt to new threats, openness to the involvement of non-state actors, innovation and interdepartmental integration. Due to these characteristics, directions become not just forms of organizing work, but real catalysts of change in the system of combating crime, through which modern practices, the latest digital solutions, international standards and approaches to working with vulnerable categories of the population are introduced.
The emphasis is on the fact that directions of interaction between subjects of combating criminal offenses are a fundamental structural unit of the functioning of the entire criminal justice system, which directly affects the effectiveness of law enforcement activities, the level of protection of human rights, public trust in institutions and the ability of the state to perform its security functions.
