Abstract
Aim: The purpose of the article is the digitalization of service relations between subjects of counteraction to drug offenses: Administrative and criminal law regulation.
Methods: Dialectical method: Study of the problem in development, interconnection and interdependence, considering digitalization as a constant process that creates new challenges and opportunities. Systemic method: Analysis of digitalization as a system consisting of interconnected elements (electronic document flow, databases, analytical systems). Allows you to study the integrity of the phenomenon. Method of analysis and synthesis: Analysis of individual aspects (administrative and legal regulation, criminal and legal regulation) and their synthesis to form a holistic view of the problem. Comparative legal method: Comparison of Ukrainian legislation and practice with the experience of other countries in using digital technologies to combat drug crime. Ukrainian legislation and practice in the field of using digital technologies to combat drug crime have both common features and differences compared to other countries, especially the European Union and the United States.
Results: The existing countermeasure system, which is largely based on traditional methods, is not effective enough to combat cross-border and high-tech drug crimes. The lack of a single digital platform for information exchange, difficulties with the legitimization of electronic evidence and insufficient legislative regulation in this area create significant gaps. This, in turn, requires scientific understanding and the development of theoretical and practical recommendations for improving administrative and criminal law regulation.
Conclusion: Digitalization of service relations of subjects of countering drug offenses is a multifaceted process that has both positive and negative consequences. It significantly increases the efficiency of administrative activities, but at the same time requires the adaptation of criminal law mechanisms. Main problems: Today, the main problems are insufficient adaptation of legislation to the rapid development of technologies, a shortage of qualified personnel in the field of cybersecurity and limited technical equipment of law enforcement agencies. Prospects: Further development of digital technologies opens up new opportunities, in particular, in the field of preventive work, which will allow to more effectively detect and stop criminal activity.
