Qualitative Methods of Criminal Law Research: Ukrainian and Foreign Experience

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to assess the most common methods of conducting qualitative (as opposed to quantitative) research in the field of criminal law, used by Ukrainian and foreign researchers, for their compliance with the basic characteristics. For this purpose, such methods as the method of doctrinal analysis were used, and in addition other theoretical and empirical research methods, such as historical, qualitative analysis of documents, etc. Results: based on the analysis of works of domestic and foreign scholars, it is substantiated that the basis for the science of criminal law is a normative analysis of the law (doctrinal analysis), which includes efforts to understand the best balance of rights and responsibilities. Ukrainian researchers know this method as system (method of system-structural analysis). Discussion: legal research is defined as research focused on extrapolating legal norms to specific cases. Scientific «discovery» in the field of law involves careful analysis and creative synthesis of various legal norms of doctrine, concept or principles and evaluation of legal doctrines or law, it must be combined with analytical skills and interaction with deduction and induction during such analysis.

Computer Safety of Aviation

“…The sphere of civil cyber security aviation is inherently interdisciplinary field of research. To one degree or another, O. Zolotar [1], T. Oleshko [7], A. Ilyenko [2], V. Kharchenko [9], O. Korchenko [4], Yu. Lisovska [6], N. Semchuk [8] and others paid attention to these issues.…”

“…As T. Oleshko points out, growing globalization and the wide spread of data analysis technologies are radically changing the organization of airspace management and the air transport market in general. Over the past 10 years, high-tech solutions in civil aviation have made it possible to offer consumers new standards of flight safety, quality of service and comfort of air transportation [7,[43][44][45][46].…”

“…Airlines are also implementing effective IT solutions in the field of on-board passenger service. Developments aimed at improving the quality of service and improving service on board aircraft are already being actively used: prompt transfer of flight status information for the airline website; the information system for managing in-flight meal orders on airline flights; IT provision of the service of providing children's sets for children depending on their age categories [7,43].…”

“…At airports, technologies allow combining notification systems and monitoring the movement of all objects to make the stay of passengers more comfortable and safe, transferring data to their portable electronic devices (smartphones, tablets, etc. ), which are important for navigation [7,46].…”
