The paper is devoted to the problem of assessing the influence of members of social network communities. It proposes a method for constructing a social network model based on a weighted directed graph, considering the intensity of previous interactions between users. The article also considers the possibility of using Walsh orthogonal functions to simulate the diffusion of information influences between users of social networks. The authors conclude that this approach allows for obtaining estimates of the influence of individual users and their coalitions. The paper also evaluates the speed characteristics of the corresponding algorithm and discusses promising areas for its use in ranking social network users by influence, as well as for predicting the results of information influences based on simulation modeling.

The study used the method of comparative analysis of regulatory legal acts and scientific sources on the issues of personal security, protection of witnesses and other participants in legal proceedings, based on the materials of modern foreign and domestic practice and historical experience. The article examines the concept of “security” and its definition in scientific research and legal documents; it studies the concept of “personal security” as one of the components of national security in any state, where personal security implies a certain state of protection from negative and destructive influences on the physical, mental, and other aspects of a person’s well-being. The importance of organizing legal and psychological security for individuals subject to state protection, which includes a comprehensive program that allows the protected individual to feel safe and willing to participate in legal proceedings, is ultimately an indicator and an integral component of the national security of any state. The article concludes that psychological support is an important component of the process of implementing state protection for individuals who are subject to such protection. By studying and taking into account the individual characteristics of each protected person, it is possible to develop an effective strategy for implementing state protection measures. Additionally, by choosing the right approach and timing for interacting with the protected person, as well as implementing an individualized program of psychological support for individuals subject to state protection, it is possible to minimize the impact of negative factors on the implementation of measures and ensure the safety of the protected individuals in accordance with the laws of the Russian Federation.

Among the proposals is the need to expand the competence of investigators by using digital technologies in forensics, computer modeling.

The article presents the results of an empirical study of the structure of behavioral indicators of social activity of future correctional officers. The purpose of the study is to identify the level of development and structural features of the behavioral components of social activity among cadets as future employees of penitentiary institutions. Research objectives: to determine the level of development of behavioral components of social activity among cadets, to study the hierarchical structure (dominant and subordinate positions) of these components in groups with different levels of social activity, to identify significant differences in the severity of behavioral indicators of cadets with high, medium and low levels of social activity, to establish correlations between different behavioral indicators in each of the selected groups. The study involved 166 2nd – 3rd year cadets of the Vladimir Law Institute of the FPS of Russia. The main method was an expert assessment (5 experts: course officers and psychologists). Behavioral manifestations of social activity were assessed by 17 indicators grouped into four components: intellectual- volitional, emotional-volitional, moral and communicative. Descriptive statistics methods, analysis of variance, Student's t-test, and correlation analysis were used to process the data. The study revealed three groups of cadets with different levels of social activity: high (36.14 %), medium (32.53 %) and low (31.33 %). Significant differences between the groups have been established. The results of the study indicate the need for targeted development of intellectual, volitional and communicative components in the process of cadets' professional training in order to form an active professional position, which is a key requirement for correctional personnel.

The article attempts to comprehend the prerequisites that developed in the middle of the last century in the practice of places of deprivation of liberty and its scientific support, which justified the need to generalize and systematize the disparate theoretical materials related to the investigation of penitentiary crimes that had been formed by that time. The leading role of the Doctor of Law, Professor N. G. Shurukhnov in the development of a general methodology for the investigation and prevention of crimes committed by convicts in correctional institutions is revealed. The theoretical and practical significance of the provisions contained in the developed general methodology for the investigation and prevention of crimes committed by convicts in correctional institutions is shown.

The article examines the key criminological concept of the criminal's personality, defines the essential characteristics and their impact on criminal behavior, taking into account the current criminogenic situation. It is proved that the identity of a criminal who commits violent assaults against employees of a place of deprivation of liberty or detention can be considered as a special case of the identity of a repeat offender. The classifications, types and types of criminals who commit socially dangerous acts in places of deprivation of liberty are analyzed. The author's typology is proposed, which is based on the motivational criterion, the position of a person in the criminal hierarchy in places of deprivation of liberty or detention, as well as the voluntary nature of the commission of a crime or coercion to it.

The purpose of the article is to identify the most effective methods of motivating alcohol-dependent convicts to participate in treatment and rehabilitation programs and completely abstain from alcohol consumption. To achieve this goal, the motives for refusing further alcohol intake and participation of convicts in various treatment and rehabilitation programs were identified, which were divided into general (physical health problems, fear of losing their family and loved ones, the motive of striving for stability in life, to prove their worth to themselves) and specific (motivation to avoid entering correctional institutions institutions in the future, motivation to improve the conditions of serving a sentence in a penal colony, motive for physical and psychological safety).

In the article, the author examines the problem of abuse of rights by parties to criminal proceedings when filing motions for recusation and comes to the conclusion that Russian legislators have not developed any methods to counteract the unlawful exercise of the right to file such motions. Based on a comparative legal analysis of the laws of countries of the Romano-Germanic legal family, the author formulated proposals for separating proceedings on a filed motion for recusation from the scope of proceedings in a criminal case.
