Annotation content. In the dissertation, using normative and legal acts, methods of cognition and achievements of jurisprudence, the administrative and legal regulation of the interaction of preventive activity units of the National Police of Ukraine with other crime prevention subjects is investigated.
The prevention of offences as one of the basic categories in the sphere of functioning of preventive activities units of the National Police is proposed to determine as a comprehensive concept, which includes the prevention (protection) of offences (concerning a wide range of measures to influence the causes and conditions of delicts, persons prone to offences and society in general) and their termination (preventing the continuation of the offence – in case of discovery of the fact of an uncompleted offence, it is necessary to prevent the continuation of illegal behaviour, as well as to minimize harmful or dangerous consequences). Considering such a theoretical construction, changing individual legislative and by-law normative legal acts is expedient. In particular, in clause 1, part 1 of the Law of Ukraine "On the National Police", it is inappropriate to indicate that the police carry out preventive andprotective activities and that such activities aim to prevent the commission of offences. Since preventive activity (protection) is a part of protective activity, this point shouldbe worded as follows: "1) carries out preventive activity." A new version of the definition of preventive and protective activities of precinct police officers, preventive accounting and community police officers is suggested.
The necessity of adopting a resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine “On approval of the Procedure for the preparation, adoption (conclusion), implementation and monitoring of regional and local law enforcement programs, administrative agreements (memorandums)”, which would reflect the form and approximate structure of the program (contract), the procedure initiation and preparation of a draft program (agreement), its approval, procedural features of the adoption of the program and the conclusion of an agreement, requirements for the implementation and monitoring of the operation of the program (agreement) is grounded. The expediency of the participation of police officers who directly carry out preventive measures at the level of territorial communities – community police officers, district police inspectors, police units of juvenile prevention, and police response sectors of the patrol police in the initiation and preparation of the project of the crime prevention program (administrative agreement on cooperation in the field of crime prevention) has been proven and corresponding changes to subordinate legal acts have been proposed.
It has been proven that the methods of interaction of units of preventive police activity with other subjects of crime prevention are a system of methods, tools, and means, through which the organization and implementation of agreed measures are ensured to eliminate the causes and conditions of crimes, influence on persons prone to committing them. It is proposed to separate the methods of interaction of these units with other subjects of crime prevention into the following groups: universal (persuasion, coercion, encouragement) and special (recordkeeping, information method, joint activities, police supervision, social patronage).
