Abstract: The article deals with problematic issues arising in the activities of the preliminary investigation bodies related to the implementation and completion of criminal investigations in the absence of a suspect, accused at the place of investigation and the impossibility of conducting investigative and procedural actions during his absence. Difficulties arise when declaring a wanted person and organizing the establishment of his location. Often, persons hiding from the preliminary investigation, especially those undergoing criminal cases related to the commission of economic crimes, have financial opportunities and change their place of residence in order to avoid criminal liability and the application of penalties. When these persons are put on the wanted list, the problem of choosing a preventive measure in the form of detention also arises in the activities of the investigative bodies. Despite the fact that some of the wanted persons are accused of committing serious and especially serious crimes, a preventive measure has been chosen against them that is not related to detention. The problems considered in this article and the proposed solutions to them are a recommendation for persons whose official duties include searching for persons who have disappeared from the bodies of inquiry, investigation and court. Depending on the current operational or investigative situation, the algorithms of actions of law enforcement officers may change and be optimized.

Abstract: The article deals with the issues of both criminal and legal assessment of illegal activities related to the phenomenon of "webcam" and individual problems of identifying and documenting crimes in this sphere. The problems of qualification of criminal activity arising in the course of countering offenses related to this phenomenon are revealed. The peculiarities of conducting operational investigative measures aimed at uncovering the illegal activities of webcam studios (production and trafficking of pornographic materials, child pornography), and a special cluster of relations between subjects within the framework of modern Russian legislation are noted. The author pays special attention to the methodological training of law enforcement officers of the Russian Federation, as well as regular and effective interaction with the information systems of the national central bureaus of the International Criminal Police (Interpol). The novelty of the research lies in the fact that crimes arising in the sphere of limited regulation of the global Internet are a new trend in the transformation of the criminal world. The inability of the legislator and the law enforcement officer to predict the appearance and development of individual phenomena allowed the attackers to successfully build a "gray" webcam business industry. The phenomenon of "webcam" is a logical continuation of the development of public relations related to prostitution, the spread of pornography and sexual exploitation. The legalization of the webcam industry will create an ambiguous situation in which offenders will be able to disguise criminal activity as legitimate, which determines the relevance of the theoretical validity and practical implementation of effective regulatory tools for the activity in question. The improvement of the working methods of units engaged in operational investigative activities is a determining factor for solving the task. Based on the actual methods of committing crimes, the scientific work considers the features of documenting and qualifying the facts of illegal activity related to the phenomenon of Webcam.

Abstract: The author notes that, due to the worsening of economic situation and the decline of living standards in Russia, the problem of struggle against organized crime becomes especially important. It is confirmed by the data of the Integrated intradepartmental information and statistical system, according to which the amount of preliminarily investigated crimes connected with drug trafficking committed by organized groups had been increasing from the early 2012 till June 2014. Within the struggle against organized crime (on the example of drug trafficking), the author studies the possibility of cooperation between law enforcement officers and the members of criminal groups on the base of the provisions of the article 40.1 of the Penal Code of the Russian Federation “Special procedure of pretrial decision when concluding a pretrial agreement” as a tactical criminalistical element. The author applies general and special scientific methods, including deduction, analysis, synthesis, the structural-logical method, the statistical method, comparative-legal analysis and other methods of scientific cognition. In the author’s opinion, the application of the provisions of the article 40.1 of the Penal Code of the Russian Federation as a tactical means of “encouragement of a person to cooperation by means of a pretrial agreement” can raise the efficiency of struggle against organized crime, particularly in the sphere of drug trafficking. It will also help solve new crimes and impose liability on persons involved in crimes.
