The authors examine the possibilities of the criminological analysis of criminal situation and show the value of using modern information systems to analyze and predict crimes for the improvement of the crime prevention work of internal affairs’ bodies. They study the analytical methods that make crime prevention more productive and the key software used for criminal analysis. The article presents the results of studying the work of criminal analysts in various legal systems (the UK, the USA, Canada, South Korea, New Zealand). It contains the data of an experts’ survey conducted in June 2017. The experts were 100 employees of investigation departments, centers of counteracting extremism, economic security and corruption counteraction, employees of organization and analytical departments of the Chief Directorate of Russian Ministry of the Interior in Moscow and Moscow Region. The analysis of the work of criminal analysts in other countries and the results of the survey of experts from law enforcement bodies are used to determine the prospects of introducing the institute of staff criminologists in the crime prevention system of the Russian Federation, to develop an algorithm of criminological support in Russian internal affairs’ bodies and to outline the prospective spheres of work for staff criminologists (criminal analysts). The authors conclude that the effectiveness of the work of Russian internal affairs’ bodies on the prevention, suppression and detection of crimes could be considerably improved through the introduction of modern means and methods of criminal analysis that are currently actively used by the police of some countries. They present a conceptually new approach to the criminological support of the work of internal affairs’ bodies based on the cumulative analysis of the current legislative base of the Russian Federation, the existing theoretical approaches and the experience of organizing the work of criminal analysts in other countries. The authors express their confidence that quality and professional work of using means and methods of crime prediction could help optimize the use of available resources and authority of law enforcement bodies and, consequently, either reduce the costs of law enforcement or use the available budgets more effectively.

This article describes conversion centers, examines the specific issues of counteracting their operations as one of the most effective mechanisms for shading money out of the real economy, and identifies some of the weaknesses that exist in eliminating these centers, and suggests ways to address them. Due to the political and legislative changes that are taking place in our country, the authorities' desire to stabilize the country's anti-corruption economy, and unlawful mechanisms in this field are undergoing significant changes. Yes, criminal organizations have recently been set up in Ukraine, existing as large conversion centers designed to cover up economic crimes by illegally converting cash into cash or vice versa. The Conversion Center article is a carefully structured and well-structured stable crime group that exists with a commercial bank or in close collaboration. The purpose of the article is to investigate the activities of conversion centers and to counteract their functioning in the context of the fight against corruption and economic crime. An analysis of current law and practice shows that the functions of counteracting crime in the financial sector, namely the operation of conversion centers, are unjustifiably divided into departments and often duplicated. In particular, such powers are vested in the units of the National Police), the Security Service of Ukraine, the Tax Police (DFS). According to the National Institute for Strategic Studies under the President of Ukraine, in Europe there are two options for the full integration of law enforcement in the fight against economic crime: within the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Finance. All this requires the formation of the concept of strategic construction and determining the location of the tax police or financial investigation service (DFS or FIU) in the fight against economic (tax) crime. This concept should define the basic directions and principles of improvement of managerial, organizational and personnel work, legal, personnel, resource and other law enforcement activity in the specified field on the basis of analysis and assessment of tax security of the person, society and the state. Key words: fictitious enterprise, conversion centers, financial transactions, legalization of income, liability, decriminalization, fraud.

The key objective of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation is law enforcement within the country. Therefore, studying the problems of improving the professional development of managerial personnel in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia requires a thorough study. This article focuses on the psychological and educational basis of the process, which, in the authors' opinion, is one of the research priorities. Methods used: the California CPI personality questionnaire (a methodology adapted for working with senior personnel of the Internal Affairs bodies) which allows to identify the socio-psychological potential of an officer and his individual components - personality traits contributing to socially significant achievements [1]. It is important to note that the problem of managerial potential in the internal affairs bodies is still under development.

The article presents the results of studying the level of crime in the economic sphere in the country on the basis of official statistical information from Rosstat and the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation. Economic crimes are difficult enough to detect, and the scale of latent economic crime is very large. In addition, the complexity of research in this area is due to the lack of precisely defined and unambiguously interpreted terms: “crimes in economic sphere”, “economic crimes”, “crime in economic field” or “crimes in the field of economic activity”. Summarizing the experience of theoretical and empirical research in this area, the author identifies three approaches to the interpretation of the concept of “economic crime”: legislative (based on the provisions of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), departmental and research. The consequences of economic crimes inflict irreparable harm on economic entities, society, the state as a whole, and undermine national security. The systematization of statistical data and the research carried out over a long period of time made it possible to identify the main trends in the situation from the standpoint of criminalization and decriminalization of the Russian economy, as well as to identify regions with an increased level of economic crime. The criminological analysis of crime in the sphere of economic activity has shown that there is an increase in negative trends, and with the development of the economy, it is necessary to strengthen activities to suppress economic crime. The statistical analysis of empirical data and monographic analysis made it possible to determine the most effective, in the author’s opinion, directions of combating economic crime in the modern world.

The article considers the practical effectiveness of the criminal law prohibition in combating economic crime in the Russian Federation. 22nd Chapter of the Criminal code currently includes 58 articles. This is maximum number of articles in relation to other chapters of the criminal code, in the same Chapter of the Criminal code. Accordingly the need for such a number of prohibitions in the economic sphere should be confirmed by judicial practice. However, a completely different picture emerges. Based on the analysis of the statistical reports of the Judicial Department under the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the authors conclude that the enforcement practice in cases of economic crimes is insufficient.The authors express their opinion on the reasons for the ineffectiveness of the practical application of the articles constituting the 22nd Chapter of the Criminal code of the Russian Federation, and suggest ways to address them.

The article considers the relevance of the introduction of the complex “Ready for Labour and Defence” (abbreviated as GTO in the Russian Federation, analyses how it encourages young people to practice sports. A comparative characteristic of the GTO standards that were in force in the USSR and of those that are in use in modern Russia is carried out. The correlation between the results of passing the standards for physical training and the GTO complex by cadets of education organizations of higher learning of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation is revealed. The importance and significance of the introduction of the above-mentioned complex is proved. A comparison of the attitude of cadets of higher educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and students of technical universities was made, which led to the conclusion that it is necessary to increase interest in passing the GTO complex not only among athletes and cadets of law enforcement institutions, but also among the youth of the country as a whole. Based on the results of a survey of one hundred and fifty people aged from 17 to 23 years, a study was conducted to reveal the affect of passing the GTO standards on young people’s desire to practice sports. The results of the survey presented in the diagram allow us to draw a conclusion that the «GTO» complex encourages young people to sport. The survey also revealed a number of current problems related to the inability to train and pass certain types of additional standards, as well as ways to solve them. The study was conducted to examine the opinion of young people about the GTO complex, as well as to determine the relevance and need to popularize this complex among the younger generation. The importance of keeping a healthy lifestyle and maintaining good physical shape through sports training is highlighted.
