Вісник кримінального судочинства(1), 119–124.https://ir.library.knu.ua/handle/15071834/24115According to the practice of law enforcement agencies there are a signifcant number of fugitives that had never been found by the police. One of the reasons for that is a low efciency of law enforcement agencies. The paper analyzes reasons and ways of solving this problem.Nowadays investigators see the search of fugitives hiding from pre-trial investigation and court as their secondary activity, which is usually caused by two factors: a heavy workload and poor management. Analysis of the law enforcement practice indicates that after a suspect is added to a wanted list all criminal proceedings «stop», the actions of an investigator, in most cases, are limited to drawing up to instructions to the operational units which, according to the investigator should do all the work. O. Kerevych says that usually an investigator gives inefective orders to the operational unit which answers with a formal reply without any enthusiasm to actually fnd a fugitive and solve a crime. Adding to that, there is also a problem of a poor information exchange between all law enforcement agencies on a local, nationwide and international level.In 90% of cases of fnding fugitives investigators do not carry out special measures to get an additional information about the wanted person (while they are able use investigative actions, requests for information from companies, institutions, organizations, individuals, information analysis of social networks, analysis of information resources of law enforcement, etc.).The author believes that legislation can deal with problems indicated above, and ofers the necessary changes to the Code of Criminal Procedure of Ukraine.Scientifc research should be the algorithm of actions of investigative and operational units in the course of the investigation, the analytical features of Investigation process, use of the information retrieval resources of law enforcement and regulatory authorities, analysis of the information available to social networking etcВ статті наведено сучасний стан з організації розшуку осіб, які переховується від органів досудового розслідування та суду, виокремлено недоліки в організації розшукової роботи та головні напрями удосконалення такої діяльності.uksearching of fugitives hiding from pre-trial investigation and courtinvestigationssearchaction algorithm of a searchcovert investigative (detective) actionsCode of Criminal Procedure of Ukraine.розшук осібякі переховуються від органів досудового розслідування та судурозшукова робота слідчогокриміналістичне та оперативно-розшукове забезпечення розшуку осібякі переховуютьсяалгоритм дій з розшуку осібнегласні слідчі (розшукові) дії.Стаття
