Abstract: The authors of the article carry out the normative and doctrinal analysis of the terms “homelessness” and “neglect”, and identify the reasons and conditions of these antisocial phenomena in Russian society.  The research object is the legal and pedagogical aspects of the process of prevention of neglect and homelessness of minors and the activities of public authorities both in Russia and abroad. The research subject is the terms “homelessness” and “neglect” as legal terms. Special attention is given to the reasons of homelessness and neglect of juveniles, in the first place, biological and social orphanage. The research is based on the dialectical, formal-logical (dogmatical), historical-legal, systems, linguistic and some other methods of scientific cognition. The priority methods were the sociological and formal-legal methods and the method of comparative jurisprudence. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the fact that based on the analysis of legal and essential roots of the two phenomena, the authors conclude that despite being formalized, they require fundamental review of the approaches to study and identification. It is necessary to transform the understanding of the model of juvenile behaviour which is connected with the recently changed basic scientific approaches in pedagogical psychology and social pedagogics. Taking into account the size of the problem of orphanage, the authors suggest aiming public social politics not only at the protection of rights of orphans and their adoption, but also at avoiding the cases of deprivation of parental care. The most active instrument in this context is the prevention of social orphanage by the child protection services which includes pedagogical, psychological, legal, social, educational and medical assistance to families with and without family disadvantages risk factors.

Abstract: The authors of the article consider the changes in the federal legislation which were made during the formation of a new security agency in Russia - the Federal Service of the National Guard. A part of functions of other agencies were redistributed, and, in the authors’ opinion, sometimes unreasonably. As a result, particular directions are controlled by several security agencies simultaneously, which leads to overlapping or nonfulfillment of some tasks. The authors analyze Federal laws and some subordinate acts in order to detect overlapping duties assigned to different security agencies in search for a solution. The authors conclude that if one and the same function is performed by different agencies, it is hard to define the one responsible for faults. The authors suggest redistributing of functions among government structures in order to accumulate all the areas of activity in one service.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the innovative means of legal education of road users aimed at prevention of road traffic accidents. The aim of the research is to define prospects of developing and using applied innovative solutions of preventive nature presented in the form of digital applications and reference books, and video clips, to ensure the legal education of road users (drivers and pedestrians) as well as amateur participants of a criminal proceeding at the stage of preliminary investigation, in relation to road traffic crime cases (suspects/accused, victims, and witnesses). The research methodology involves the dialectical resaeerch method as well as the system of general and special research methods. The research is based on the analysis and generalization of research literature and judicial practice. The main conclusions of the research is that in spite of their practical importance today, practical preventive recommendations are made quite rarely. The authors underline that as a result of adopting the State Policy of the Russian Federation for developing legal literacy and sense of justice, forensics should now focus on the development of practical recommendations and guidelines for amateur participants of a criminal proceeding. Based on the results of their research, the authors conclude that development and use of electronic handouts and guidelines as the means of legal education offer great opportunities for criminalists and may become a priority for applied criminalistic researches that comrpise a pragmatic approach to forensics in the nearest future.

The author reveals the strategy underlying the important developments in the sphere of citizens’ participation in public order protection, and author demonstrates the positive impact of this policy on citizen’s trust in and attitude towards the Dutch police. The article analyzes the legal framework, the forms of participation, and the main problems connected with the citizens’ participation in public order protection in the Russian Federation. The author applies the following methods: dialectics, abstraction, analysis, synthesis, deduction, and the method of intersectoral legal studies. Analyzing the Dutch experience, the author concludes that the participation of citizens in public order protection can improve the relations between the police and the citizens by means of the police integration into the society. The renewal of community law-enforcement units in the Russian Federation, taking into account the historical and foreign experience, can become an effective measure aimed at crime prevention. The involvement of citizens into public order protection has a huge potential. Russian citizens, as well as the government, are interested not only in their personal safety, but also in the reduction of crimes in general. Understanding and harmony in this field increases trust between the citizens and the government, and can promote the renewal of community law enforcement groups and improve the struggle against crime.
