Criminal activity in Ukraine in the light of current conditions

In this paper, the authors expressed their own vision of the peculiarities, trends and interdependence of the criminal activity related in Ukraine nowadays. The present analysis focuses on investigating and analyzing the prospect, scope and peculiarities of criminal acts in modern Ukraine. The typification of signs of criminal activity in Ukraine gives the authors free rein to argue that nearly all types of this criminal activity have corruption orientation, either directly or indirectly. The results of using content analysis method made it possible to claim that corrupt practices occur in all sectors of the population from an economic and social basis to legal, cultural, spiritual and ideological strata of society and may affect special conditions as a source of revenue. Moreover, the authors used methods of formal logic (analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, analogy), method of system analysis, as well as a statistical method. Forensic analysis of the manifestations of criminal activity in Ukraine, makes it possible to draw the following conclusions: criminal activity in Ukraine is inextricably linked and interdependent with political processes taking place both in Ukraine and in temporarily uncontrolled territories. In fact, all its manifestations are directly or indirectly political in nature, even if we analyze crimes committed individually, they are not only aimed at achieving a self-serving purpose for their own benefit, but may also be caused by a radical (sometimes emotional) attitude towards socio-political processes. There are also signs of mutually beneficial relations between criminal organizations and authorities in Ukraine, so the research helps to predict the replacement of the norms of law and morality due to the ideology of the criminal activity in some strata of society that may become more acceptable for them

The effect of digitalization on the extent of criminal activity in the context of the pandemic

The process of digitalization has impacted various aspects of social life, and the growth of digital technologies has led to significant changes in communication in society. During the pandemic, digitalization has been particularly noticeable as it has enabled continuous communication despite restrictions. However, this has also affected the level of crime, and it is crucial to understand how digitalization has impacted crime rates globally. This study aims to investigate the specifics of digitalization's impact on crime during the pandemic, examining the causal relationship between the two. The research focuses on the social relations comprised during digitalization in the criminal-legal aspect. Findings suggest that the pandemic has revolutionized the usual law and order among the population, affecting both law-abiding citizens and criminals. Digitalization has also changed the nature of certain crimes, leading to a shift in the level of crime. It is expected that the pandemic will continue to impact society and crime rates for an extended period. Therefore, it is vital to consider the impact of innovative information technologies on crime levels when implementing measures in Ukraine and globally
