Abstract
The aim of the article was to establish the features and trends of the legal regulation in the field of coordination of the fight against organized crime by the competent authorities. The chosen research topic identified comparative legal approach to scientific research as the leading one. A set of general scientific (dialectical, historical, systemic, statistical) and narrow scientific (legalistic, case method) methods of cognition was also used.
It was stated in this research that punitive measures can have only a limited impact on reducing the manifestations of organized crime with a corruption component. Such measures should be part of a sustainable, long-term comprehensive strategy to reduce the space for organized crime and corruption, coordinated by the state while legalizing clear powers and effective mechanisms for cooperation between the competent law enforcement agencies and the public in this area.
Further research should be based on national identity, criminological factors of organized crime, and drivers of corruption in government institutions. Future reform of the current legislation should reasonably take into account foreign experience, as well as the innovative components of the development of national criminal groups.
