The article examines the directions of crime prevention in the field of information technologies in the conditions of martial law. It is noted that in the process of scientific and technical progress and the active introduction of Internet technologies into all areas of society, crime is also developing. This issue is especially relevant today in Ukraine, because in the conditions of martial law, cybercriminals are actively involved in hacking government servers, disinforming the population, using fake profiles in social networks, etc. Today, cyber fraud is widespread, in which criminals intend to learn bank details of citizens under the guise of various payments in order to take possession of funds. It is noted that today the war in the information space causes no less damage than the war on the battlefield. In this regard, the process of improving the current criminal and criminal procedural legislation regarding the prosecution of cybercriminals has already begun in Ukraine. Thus, after the full-scale invasion of Russia on the territory of Ukraine, the number of criminal offenses in the field of information technology increased dramatically. The aggressor country uses Internet technologies for disinformation about the invasion of Ukraine, propaganda of hostile ideas, etc. In this regard, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine optimized the criminal and criminal procedural legislation, improving the grounds and procedural mechanisms for bringing criminals to criminal responsibility. It was determined that the legislative framework of Ukraine does not contain a separate special act that would regulate the issue of crime prevention in the field of information technologies. Instead, there are several legal acts in Ukrainian legislation that regulate this issue. It was concluded that in order to build an effective system of crime prevention in the field of information technology, it is advisable not only to strengthen responsibility for committed criminal offenses, but also to develop socio-economic, organizational-management and moral-psychological directions aimed at neutralizing the factors that lead to the commission of criminal offenses .
The article examines the emergence of the history of cybercrime. It is noted that today the industrial direction of public activity is the informatization of all state and non-state structures. Internet technologies are actively being implemented in all spheres of human activity, in the everyday life of every Ukrainian. With their help, the "information society" is created, all spheres, such as production and technology, as well as social and economic relations, the spiritual life of mankind, etc., are significantly transformed. Internet technologies have become an advanced way of committing criminal offenses. The number of so-called "computer criminal offenses" is increasing every day. Even today, in the conditions of martial law, information technologies are one of the main ways of implementing criminal and illegal motivation. Cybercrime, according to the traditional types of crime in Ukraine (murder, use of criminal offenses, etc.), is a relatively new phenomenon and the biggest threat of the 21st century at the same time, because information technologies are also a way of committing many traditional criminal offenses. It was concluded that although crime in the field of information technologies is a fairly new type of crime, it causes significant material damage, and since its inception there have been 5 stages of development: 1) the manifestation of such a phenomenon as crime in the field of information technologies and the formation of ideas and a hacker subculture; 2) the development of crime in the field of information technology as a type of international crime; the emergence of criminal groups of hackers who specialize in committing criminal offenses in different countries; 3) crime in the field of information technologies becomes transnational; 4) the use of the Internet to achieve a political goal, the appearance and use of cyber attacks against the governments of individual states; 5) active use of information technologies during the war, accompanied by widespread involvement of mass media for disinformation of the population, expansion of cyber fraud and cyber terrorism.
The purpose of the article is to study modern standards and practice of combating corruption, as well as international and legal documents that are the cause for the existance of different approaches in understanding corruption. The main objectives of the article are to clarify the efficiency of modern well-known indicators that assist in determining the level of corruption in the country; to scientifically substantiate the principles for raising the efficiency of international cooperation in combating corruption within government; to analyze international acts of declarative and binding nature. During the study, general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, a historical and systemic approach were used. Political analysis was widely used, descriptive and comparative analysis was accomplished. It has been concluded that the states must comply with international norms governing the fight against corruption in order to maintain the global law and order and combating corruption in the world, and in particular in Ukraine. It has been proved that it is necessary to establish more precise criteria for determining the level of corruption than currently existing ones in order to increase the effectiveness of international cooperation in combating corruption in government. Suggestions aimed at combating corruption at the international level have been formulated.
