Abstract

It is pointed out, we can frankly say that European integration transformations in the reform of law enforcement activities have already become an irreversible process and for many years to come this will be the main direction of improving the functioning of Ukrainian judicial, prosecutorial and other law enforcement bodies. Despite the state of war and the continued resolute repulsion of Russian aggression, Ukraine is making significant efforts to implement the necessary transformations in its national legal order. The article examines the international legal standards that regulate the activity of Ukrainian national judicial and law enforcement agencies in preventing the commission of criminal offenses as one of the most important components of the crime prevention process. The thesis that crime prevention in Ukraine, as one of the most important components of the functioning of the law and order system, should be carried out precisely on the basis of international standards, which, in turn, create an atmosphere of orderliness and coordination of the actions of all law enforcement structures of the signatories of international agreements on combating crime as a phenomenon not only at the national level, but also its modern manifestations in the form of cross-border and international organized crime. Based on the analysis of international legal sources and the works of domestic scientists, conclusions are drawn that it is necessary to use the European experience of public administration in combating crime through the implementation of international standards in public administration and planning of the activities of judicial and law enforcement agencies, including in separate areas of combating crime; it is expedient among the priority measures to apply international standards for the prevention of corruption both in the entire system of state bodies in general, and especially for countering criminal corruption offenses that can be committed by officials of any rank in the spheres of judicial, prosecutorial and other law enforcement activities; it is necessary to achieve a high level of public trust in judicial and law enforcement structures; it is necessary to form an anti-corruption culture of law enforcement officers taking into account the requirements of international standards and best global practices.
