Abstract: The subject of this study is the labor activity of convicts in the context of the digitalization of the economy and the penal system. The aim of the work is to identify deficiencies in the existing legal regulation of convict labor and propose effective mechanisms for its digitalization to enhance their social rehabilitation and economic productivity. The methodology includes the use of general scientific methods and the formal-legal method of interpreting legal norms. International and Russian legal norms, scientific articles, media materials, and practical examples of the use of convict labor in the digital sphere were analyzed. The results indicate that international standards for the employment of convicts do not consider the aspects of digital transformation. Russian legislation provides for the labor activity of convicts but restricts their use of digital technologies. Practical examples from the United States and Finland demonstrate the economic efficiency and social benefits of engaging convicts in digital labor. The scope of application of the results encompasses the development of legal mechanisms and technological solutions for the digitalization of convict labor. It is recommended to create a legal framework allowing convicts to use office equipment, develop specialized hardware and software, and organize distance learning for convicts in IT specialties. The conclusions of the study emphasize the necessity of actively implementing digital technologies in the labor activities of convicts. This will not only improve their qualifications and chances for successful resocialization but also reduce recidivism. Implementing digitalization requires addressing legal, technological, and organizational issues but is a necessary step for the effective integration of convicts into society and the economy.

Abstract: The problem of improving the image of police officers is an urgent and significant task for the Russian state. In the article, the author reveals the concepts of "image" and "social portrait" of a police officer. It is determined that an image is a subjective perception of an object, and a social portrait is its objective characteristic. Despite these differences, common features of these categories are also proposed. Firstly, the image and social portrait are collective in nature, they are characterized by a mass consciousness, not an individual one. Secondly, image and social portrait have a communicative nature. Thirdly, the image and social portrait depend on the cultural and historical cycle. The methodological basis of the research is general scientific methods: analysis, generalization, comparison. In this understanding, the correlation between the concepts of "image" and "social portrait" of a police officer is interesting. The author draws attention to the fact that creating a positive image of a police officer is impossible without studying public opinion, which is a tool that can identify the main ways to optimize the image of police officers. In the article, the author draws attention to such a concept as "self-image". It is important for a police officer to realize the need to engage in self-development, to learn his strengths and weaknesses. It is determined that for a complete and specific picture concerning the image of a police officer, the unity of three key terms is necessary: "image", "social portrait" and "self-image". This approach may have practical significance in studying the image of a police officer, helping to answer questions: social perceptions of the employee, whether the employee meets the requirements, whether the employee himself strives for the ideal.

Abstract: The article provides a comprehensive evaluation of specifi c features of the reform of internal affairs bodies in Georgia. The Georgian reform has attracted much attention of the mass media, and it was actively discussed by the state bodies. It should be noted that in the late years in Russia the internal affairs bodies are constantly being reformed. It is noted that in general the results of transformation of the police from the corrupt executive body into the system setting a fi ne example of justice and virtue are not yet achieved. This fact is related to the object of this study, allowing to compare the reform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and the reform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia. In the process of studies the author used general philosophical, theoretical and empiric methods (dialectics, systemic method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, modeling), traditional legal methods ( formal logic method), and methods typical for specifi c sociological studies (statistical, expert evaluation, etc.). It is also necessary to note that the Georgian reform of the internal affairs bodies is rather successful, since it has formed an effi cient system of law-enforcement bodies, which was cleansed from corruption, and which has valuable cadres apparatus. The article evaluates positive aspects of this reform, which may be implemented in the Russian Federation. For this matter, the article may be of both theoretical and practical interest.

The author analyses efficiency of the activity of the officers of the reformed police.
