Проблемні питання досудового розслідування терористичних кримінальних правопорушень: сучасний стан та перспективні напрями наукових досліджень

Terrorism, terrorist criminal offenses in our present day occupy a special place in our country. This is a crime that not only destroys life and infrastructure, but also undermines the fundamental principles of public security and stability. In the conditions of hybrid war and constant threats emanating from the aggressor, terrorist acts become a tool for destabilizing the situation in Ukraine, spreading panic and undermining trust in state institutions. In Ukraine, which is experiencing a difficult period in its history, terrorist acts are not only crimes against individuals, but also acts of aggression against the entire state and its people. Therefore, the article examines in detail the current problems of pre-trial investigation of terrorist criminal offenses, with an emphasis on the complexities of regulatory and legal regulation of this type of crime. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the dynamics of the terrorist threat in Ukraine, its impact on the security of citizens and the state, as well as the evolution of methods of terrorist activity. The scientific research analyzes the key difficulties faced by law enforcement officers during the investigation of terrorist crimes. The problems of collecting evidence in difficult conditions, countering disinformation and information threats, as well as the need to adapt to new methods of terrorist activity, including cyberterrorism and the use of digital technologies, are considered. Separately, modern technologies used in international practice for the effective investigation of terrorist crimes are considered. This may include the use of modern video surveillance systems and biometric identification of a person, backscattered X-ray technology and the use of robots and radars, namely three robotic systems of Chinese production, developed to combat terrorism. The article proposes recommendations and approaches aimed at improving the work of law enforcement agencies, in particular the introduction of innovative investigation methods, improving the regulatory framework taking into account modern challenges and improving the skills of specialists.
