Abstract: The author gives attention to one of the topical issues related to image making. In the history of science, the prerequisites to the formation of an image of professional workers were studied. The article describes two approaches to the study of image: the philosophical one and the sociological one. The author compares philosophical and sociological views with the image of a police officer and notes the resemblance of the main requirements to image making. The methodological base includes general scientific and specific methods. The first group includes analysis, synthesis, generalization, comparison and description. The second one - questioning. The author studies the opinion of students about the work of the police and concludes that public opinion can’t form a particular image of the object under study, but merely evaluates it using the given criteria. Image is represented as a combination of individual psychological characteristics helping to perform professional tasks.

Abstract: The article studies legal regulation of the activities of police officers, particularly, the problem of their civil responsibility for lawful actions. Taking into account the judicial practice, the author concludes about the possibility of civil responsibility of police officers only in the case of their unlawful actions. The author draws attention to the groundlessness of the recognition of firearms as sources of special danger and, subsequently, the groundlessness of application of certain provisions of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation about the compensation for moral harm regardless of the guilt. The research methodology is based on the recent achievements in epistemology. The author applies general philosophical and theoretical methods (dialectics, the system method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation and modeling), traditional methods of jurisprudence (formal logical) and special sociological methods (statistical, expert assessments, etc.). The author concludes that at present it is necessary to improve legal regulation of compensation for moral harm and the forms and methods of legal regulation of public service relations within the Ministry of Internal Affairs system. The author states the necessity to develop legislative aspects of compensation of moral harm and recognition of firearms, used officially, as sources of special danger.

Abstract: The subject of the research is the legal regulation of liability for making vehicles and communication lines useless, starting with the 1922 Criminal Code of RSFSR. The object of the research is the range of social relations appearing in the result of making vehicles and communication lines useless. The author pays special attention to the legislator’s attitude to this crime in different historical epochs. Thus the author attempts to trace back the evolution of criminal liability for such crimes. The methodology of the research comprises the general scientific methods: dialectical and historical-legal, and special methods: formal-logical, comparative-legal and the method of legal modeling. The author comes to the conclusion that the volume and the measure of punishment had been changing depending on the dynamics of this type of crime. In the author’s opinion, the current article of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Abkhazia on the recent stage of constructive development of the republic doesn’t cover the existing requirements of provision of a guaranteed protection of the society and appropriate punishment for the committed criminal acts. The author supposes it necessary to amend the respective legal acts in relation to illegal, socially dangerous actions.

Abstract: The article concerns legal and organizational fundamentals of lawfulness guarantees of discipline in the service of the internal affairs bodies in the Kyrgyz Republic. Through this prism the author provides proposals for the improvement in the relevant sphere in the Russian Federation. It is noted in the article that the experience of developing the Disciplinary Charters is present in Russia. One of the fi rst such acts was adopted in 1984 in the Soviet time. Currently many post-Soviet states return the practice of adoption of such documents. That is why the author applies the method of comparative legal studies, comparing the Disciplinary Charters of Russia and Kyrgyzstan, and formulating relevant proposals. The methodological basis for the article was formed with the modern achievements of the cognition theory. 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 noted in the article that disciplinary responsibility is an independent type of legal responsibility, and it holds an important place in the matters of strengthening lawfulness and discipline in the service activities in the public service, including service in the internal affairs bodies. At the same time, guaranteeing lawfulness and service discipline is especially important, since internal affairs bodies, including militia (police) have the largest personnel, and they are closest to the population, their contacts with the population in its everyday life being various.
