Abstract
The relevance of the study is conditioned by the fact that the authors comprehensively investigated the issues of intelligence-gathering counteraction to crimes related to gambling business, after the legalisation of gambling in Ukraine in 2020. The study clearly identified and described all the elements of the system of countering these crimes: crime prevention, crime detection, and response to crimes. The purpose of the study is to investigate the features of intelligence-gathering counteraction to crimes related to gambling in order to increase the effectiveness of counteraction to such crimes. To achieve this goal, the study used general scientific and special legal methods: the general dialectical method of scientific cognition of phenomena and their ties; formal and legal (dogmatic or legal and technical); system and structural; comparative law; generalisation. The system of intelligence-gathering counteraction to crimes related to gambling business includes: crime prevention, crime detection, and response to crime. Prevention of gambling-related crimes includes actions and intelligence-gathering measures for general and individual prevention. Detection of crimes related to gambling is carried out by operational units during intelligence-gathering activities to identify and suppress predicate crimes. Response to identified crimes includes documenting criminal activity and transferring materials to the appropriate investigative unit for making a decision on the initiation of criminal proceedings. The authors propose specific mechanisms for intelligence-gathering counteraction to crimes related to gambling
