The article deals with defining directions for improving the training of specialists for pre-trial investigation bodies of the National Police. Every year, more demanding demands are placed on law enforcement activities of state bodies, in particular the National Police, which in turn requires an increase in the amount of knowledge required by police officers. Increasing the intellectual level of criminals, using offenders more sophisticated methods and means of committing offenses, careful training, masking criminal acts require adequate response of law enforcement agencies, which in turn requires appropriate training of Interior Ministry employees. An analysis of the publications which initiated the solution of this problem showed that today there is a lack of thorough research on the directions of improving the training of specialists for the bodies of pre-trial investigation of the National Police, which determines the relevance of the investigated problems. At present, within the structure of higher education institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, the specialization of training police officers is focused only on the process of training police officers of criminal police (Dnipropetrovsk State University of Internal Affairs - financial and economic security; Odessa State University of Internal Affairs - units of counteraction etc.). In turn, the process of training specialists for pre-trial investigation bodies does not have such an extensive system of training areas. As a result of the conducted research, it is concluded that there is an urgent need to improve the training of specialists for pre-trial investigation bodies of the National Police. The main directions for improving the training of specialists for the pre-trial investigation bodies of the National Police should be: 1) increasing the requirements for the quality of legal education and professional training of future employees of investigative units; 2) introduction of training of experts for pre-trial investigation bodies according to the profiles assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine; 3) introduction of an effective model of conducting binary classes with the involvement of experienced staff of pre-trial investigation bodies in the process of training specialists for such bodies.

The article analyzes the scientific achievements of scientists on the study of certain problems of operational and investigative counteraction to criminal offenses committed in priority sectors of the economy, in particular: agro-industrial complex; housing and communal complex; machine-building complex; transport infrastructure; resort and recreational sphere and tourism; processing industry. The purpose of the article is to analyze the current state of scientific development of problems of operational and investigative counteraction to criminal offenses committed in priority sectors of the economy. The analysis of scientific achievements of scientists at the level of doctoral dissertations testifies to a significant contribution to the formation of areas of operational and investigative counteraction to criminal offenses committed in certain sectors and areas of the economy. However, these studies solve some problems that arise only in some areas of the economy and only partially solve the problems that currently arise in the process of operational and investigative response to criminal offenses committed in priority sectors of the economy. It is established that as of today, no normative legal act defines an exhaustive list of sectors of the economy, which in itself negatively affects the state of organization of counteraction to criminal offenses committed in the sectors of the economy by criminal police units. It is established that to date, research on the problems of operational and investigative counteraction to criminal offenses in the field of economics, committed at the enterprises of the machine-building complex and in the resort and recreational sphere, has not been conducted at all. Research on certain problems of operational and investigative counteraction to criminal offenses committed in other priority sectors of the economy was conducted mainly before the reform of law enforcement agencies.

offense provided for in art. 173-2 KUpAP compared with the signs of the object and the objective side of the criminal offense provided for in Art. 126-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Attention is drawn to the features that should distinguish between administrative and criminal liability related to domestic violence. Violence is one of the most widespread forms of human rights violations. As a rule, women, children and the elderly are the most affected by violence. The most common and most difficult to counteract is domestic violence. Violence in the family or family is inherent in many countries, despite their positive achievements in the legislative, political and practical spheres. On January 7, 2018, the Law of Ukraine No. 2229-VIII "On Prevention and Combating of Domestic Violence" came into force. The law defines the organizational and legal principles of prevention and counteraction to domestic violence, introduces new special measures to combat domestic violence, including a new version of art. 173-2 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses The aforementioned legislative acts contain many short stories, namely: they are heavily accountable for domestic violence, many measures of administrative and criminal coercion have been imposed on the abusers, new terminology has been introduced, the established approaches to the administration of justice have been changed in cases related to domestic violence, and therefore Some innovations require clarification and interpretation. Summarizing the above, it should be noted that the adoption of a new basic law on prevention and counteraction to domestic violence, amendments to the Criminal Code of Ukraine and the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses are a decisive step towards reducing domestic violence.
