Law Enforcement in the Context of Digitalization: Problems and Prospects for Improving Efficiency

Abstract

The widespread adoption of digital technologies necessitates assessing the effectiveness of this process at present and considering the risks and opportunities existing here. The aim of the study is to consider the features and changes that the law enforcement process is undergoing in the context of digitalization. Traditional legal procedures are forced to undergo reforms, which, on the one hand, allows the most complete achievement of the goals of the legislator, and on the other hand, to respond to the challenges of modern crime, which is also armed with advanced technologies. The results of the study indicate not only the great potential that exists in the use of digital technologies for the effectiveness of law enforcement, but also the presence of objective and subjective obstacles that prevent their implementation. Practical recommendations have been developed to improve the efficiency of law enforcement in the context of the introduction of digital technologies.
