NEW EDITION ON OPERATIONAL AND SEARCH ACTIVITIES

Ukraine's active integration into the world economic system, the signing of an association with the European Union, and the establishment of international relations in various sectors create favorable conditions for the development of the tourism industry in Ukraine. Tourism is one of the actively developing sectors of the Ukrainian economy. The priority direction of the development of inbound and domestic tourism is an important factor in improving the quality of life in Ukraine, creating additional jobs, replenishing the state's foreign exchange reserves, and increasing its authority at the international level. At the same time, the current conditions for the development of our society, the aggravation of socio-political relations, instability, and material stratification of the population are accompanied by negative changes in the dynamics and specific structure of crime. Steady growth trends are also characteristic of crimes against tourists' property.

The unsatisfactory state of counteraction to these crimes is explained by the fact that the National Police make mistakes in analyzing available information, planning operational and search measures and investigative actions, putting forward versions, organizing interaction, etc. To a large extent, these shortcomings are also due to the lack of modern effective methodological, scientifically based recommendations taking into account the peculiarities of the operational-detective characteristics of crimes against tourists' property and the specifics of the situations that arise. In order to solve these problems, members of the Association - scientists from the Odessa State University of Internal Affairs and the Dnipropetrovsk State University of Internal Affairs have prepared a new publication:

Operational-detective counteraction to crimes against tourists' property in Ukraine: monograph / S.V. Albul, V.V. Abroskin, M.O. Voloshyna, K.M. Manoilenko; General editor. S.V. Albula. Odesa: ODUVS, 2021. 200 p. (Series: Theory and Practice of ORD).

When working on the monograph, the authors set the following goals: to establish the state of scientific development of the issue of operational-detective counteraction to crimes against tourists' property; to develop proposals for improving the legal regulation of operational and investigative counteraction to crimes against tourists' property; to identify the features of the operational and investigative characteristics of crimes against tourists' property in Ukraine; to substantiate ways to optimize the information and analytical support of operational and investigative counteraction to crimes against tourists' property; to formulate proposals for areas of improvement of internal and external interaction of criminal police units in countering crimes against tourists' property in Ukraine; to outline areas of improvement of tactics of conducting operational and investigative measures and covert investigative (investigative) actions to counter crimes against tourists' property in Ukraine, etc.
