Subjects of implementation of measures to combat crime in Ukraine
Authors: Shramko S. 
Published: December 2023

The article examines the powers of crime coun­teraction actors, whose activities involve the im­plementation of measures and strategies aimed at preventing negative criminal manifestations, threats, risks, and reducing the potential for neg­ative consequences. Given that protecting internal state security and strengthening law and order is one of the main functions of the state, all author­ities contribute to crime prevention activities. The legislative and executive branches of government carry out measures to combat crime, which are of a different nature. The legislature is vested with the authority to develop the main directions of the fight against crime and to create a sufficient le­gal framework to significantly influence the state's criminological policy. The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, as the executive branch of government, is responsible for ensuring public order and combat­ing crime, developing, controlling and coordinat­ing the implementation of crime prevention pro­grammes, organising their scientific support and providing resources.
It is established that local self-government bod­ies occupy an important place among the subjects of combating crime. Attention is drawn to the fact that the regional system of crime prevention in general and certain types of crime in particular is the most effective. On the basis of generalisation of regional programmes (strategies) for ensuring public safety and order (or prevention of offences), the author identifies the subjects (participants) of implementation of these programmes. These are mainly bodies for which combating crime is one of the main functions within law enforcement and law enforcement activities. The author concludes that further research is required to address the issue of adaptation of the system of crime prevention actors to modern criminal threats in the context of martial law and post-war reconstruction of Ukraine.

Authors: Siliuchenko K. , Marchenko A. , Siliuchenko V. 
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to clarifying the axiological nature of the principles of law, the significance of the principles of law in the legal system, defining their nature, the system of fundamental values that play the role of guidelines in the formation of law.
The principles of law are analyzed using an axiological approach through the understanding of the main legal values: freedom, equality, justice and human dignity. The principles of law must be considered as values, as they express the basic ideas, moral convictions that underlie the legal system. The principles of law are always an important element in the formation and development of society, as they determine the basic rules and standards by which the legal system functions.
The understanding of the axiological aspects of the principles of law is generalized, which helps not only in the development and analysis of legal systems, but also in ensuring their social relevance and purpose in the context of a specific society.
Several main axiological aspects of the principles of law are highlighted. First, the axiological aspects of the principles of law determine those values that are basic and mandatory for recognition within the framework of the legal system. For example, human rights, justice, freedom, etc. Second, principles of law can reflect certain values through specific legal norms. Third, the principles of law protect various values that are considered important for the stability and development of society. Fourth, the values reflected in the principles of law often interact with the socio-cultural context of society and reflect its characteristics and values and are always related to historical development. Fifth, axiological aspects of the principles of law can reflect modern values and meet the needs and expectations of modern society.

Actualization of cyber resilience and historical origins of the concept of "resilience"
Authors: Korystyn O. , Demediuk S. 
Published: December 2023

In this article, cyber resilience is defined as the ability to withstand external shocks caused by cyber risks, recover from them, and adapt to them. The importance of building a cyber resilience system in modern conditions is emphasized and examples of emergency situations of cyberattacks are given. The need to ensure cyber resilience at facilities and institutions is considered, different types of threats aimed at different systems, as well as the consequences of their negative impact are highlighted.
It is noted that resilience and risk management, although interrelated, are still different. Risk management involves quantitative risk assessment, which forms a decision on the most appropriate strategy for responding to them. Resilience is important when risk is incalculable, when hazardous conditions are a complete surprise, or when analytical risk parameters have proven ineffective.
It is emphasized that at a fundamental level, there are certain disagreements about the true meaning of resilience: for some, it implies the ability of a system to withstand a shock and return to its initial state, while for others it is an evolutionary process leading to adaptation and a new state of balance.
Resilience has a long and rich history in various fields of scientific knowledge, including ecology, psychology, and disaster management. One of its main advantages is that it allows complex systems to prepare for adverse events and continue to operate under extraordinary conditions. It is concluded that the "prevent and protect” paradigm, which is still dominant today, is insufficient, and that risk management tools need to be developed in the direction of cyber resilience.

Authors: Erfan V. , Koltsov Yu. 
Published: December 2023

The post-war economic recovery of Ukraine's regions is a complex and multifaceted process that includes a number of measures and strategies. These paths may differ depending on the particular region, its needs and capabilities, and the political situation in the country. However, the key areas for the post-war economic recovery of Ukraine's regions are: infrastructure development, where regions should invest in the development and modernization of infrastructure, including roads, railways, ports, airports and communications, which will improve the business environment and increase the region's competitiveness; support for small and medium-sized enterprises can be a source of new jobs and stimulate economic development in the regions. This may include financial support, training and advice for entrepreneurs; development of education and science is important for creating a skilled workforce and developing innovative technologies that can increase the competitiveness of the region; support for the agricultural sector for many regions of Ukraine, namely investments in the development of the agricultural sector can improve the quality of life of the rural population and ensure food security; attracting foreign investment, i.e. a favorable investment environment that regional cooperation between different regions and local authorities can facilitate the exchange of experience and resources for joint development.
These ways can be combined in various combinations, depending on the needs and capabilities of a particular region. However, a successful postwar economic recovery requires joint efforts of the government, business, and the public.

Authors: Pankratova V.O. 
Published: December 2023

The rapid development of information technologies and digital transformation affects various spheres of social relations. Democratic processes in the country, particularly voting, are no exception in this direction. Note that voting and elections are the main components of modern societies, as elections impact citizens' lives and well-being. There is a widespread tendency to reduce participation due to the inconvenience of face-to-face voting. One of the methods of increasing the number of voters is the introduction of electronic voting. The author notes that electronic voting covers several types of electronic means in elections for direct voting and counting votes.
The work also considers the peculiarities of the Internet or online voting. The positive aspects of electronic voting are analyzed, in particular, such as the automation and simplification of the election process, the increase in participation, and the depreciation of the time required to announce the results. At the same time, the author points out the risks that arise when using electronic voting: falsification of elections, violation of the secrecy of the election, technical failure, etc.
The paper analyzes the peculiarities of the use of electronic voting machines in Germany and other EU countries. In particular, it indicated that Estonia has a positive experience implementing Internet voting. It had determined that such a vote is unique because it becomes available online only before Election Day during the early voting period, which usually lasts one week.
It emphasized that Estonia remains the only country in the world that has been using a digital voting alternative since 2005, involving young people inside the country and Estonians living abroad in the electoral and political process. The author notes that such success is due to several factors: people's trust in the authorities, a developed data security system, and the availability of a technological foundation built long before the first attempt at e-voting.
It had determined that other countries are trying to adopt Estonia's experience, offering an alternative voting method. The author notes that this is limited to installing special voting machines. The work summarizes that electronic voting involves implementing the latest information technologies for the election process. However, the introduction of electronic voting technology itself needs to be clarified.

Avoidance of duties as a basis for deprivation of parental rights
Authors: Parkhomenko V.O. 
Published: December 2023

The article examines the deprivation of parental rights as the most burdensome form of parental responsibility. It has been established that the deprivation of parental rights is a serious measure of influence, which should be carried out exclusively in the best interests of the child. This is stated, in particular, in the norms of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child dated November 20, 1959, the Family Code of Ukraine, the practice of the European Court of Human Rights and the Supreme Court of Ukraine.
Avoidance of parental duties can be one of the grounds for deprivation of parental rights. It has been established that, based on judicial practice in the specified area, non-fulfillment of parental duties should be interpreted differently. For example, the courts often regard it as parental evasion when a mother or father avoids paying child support. This reason is based on the thesis that it is impossible to provide care and proper development of the child, medical care and treatment without providing material maintenance. At the same time, in the conditions of Russia's war against Ukraine, the economic situation remains not the best, which may be the reason for non-payment of alimony.
Based on the analysis of court practice, cases of using the instrument of deprivation of parental rights have been identified precisely for the purpose of punishing parents for unstable payment of alimony, for insufficient attention to children, etc. This applies to the use of insignificant grounds for the deprivation of parental rights, namely a small amount of alimony arrears, untimely and incomplete payment, lack of support in desires and additional aspirations.
It was concluded that parents' evasion of raising children, as a reason for deprivation of parental rights, is possible in the case when parents do not create the necessary conditions for the child's physical, emotional or social development, it can be. However, only under the condition of culpable behavior of the parents, their deliberate neglect of their duties should be allowed only when it is impossible to change the behavior of the parents for the better and based on a complex of circumstances, each of which requires careful analysis and justification.

Special conditions of service, such as a state of emergency, can have both positive and negative impacts on the image of the police and society's attitudes towards them. On the one hand, strengthening loyalty and unity among police officers can enhance their professionalism and effectiveness. On the other hand, a too strong sense of a military atmosphere can lead to the use of violence and human rights violations, which negatively affects the image of the police and citizens' attitudes towards them.
Furthermore, dedication to their duties and readiness to perform them under any circumstances are crucial components of effective police work. This is where high morale is necessary, which is required for effective police work. The responsibility for the safety and order of the country is entrusted to them, and they must always be ready to act. Therefore, the police should strive to ensure the support and respect of the community, reflect their needs, and perform their duties with a high degree of professionalism and ethics.
