politicians and businessmen in each of the countries concerned, according to assessments by foreign business partners;
– bringing pressure to bear on national law-enforcement agencies for the purpose of wiping out bribery;
– searching for means of international cooperation to combat bribery of officials, including means such as enacting anti-graft laws in the countries concerned;
– enhancement of international cooperation between non-governmental organizations, such as the International Chamber of Commerce.
POSTSCRIPT. The UN's classification of transnational crimes reveals the underworld's strong impact on private individuals, on certain economic sectors and on the world economy as a whole. Such crimes are so horrible that they can become unbearable to humanity in the future. Both individuals and businesses must take immediate action to protect themselves against the perils posed by the underworld. Increasing international cooperation must be recognized as an indispensable requisite in combating organized crime worldwide.
The UN Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice believes that it is urgently necessary for countries to extradite criminals and put them on trial, promptly exchange information on criminal activity, provide technical assistance to one another for crime prevention purposes, and take more stringent measures to prevent cross-border activities by criminals and smugglers of firearms, explosives, and substances that can be used in making nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. The world's nations must also expose such activities more vigorously.
Besides poisoning the climate of entrepreneurship and corrupting political leaders, transnational crime makes a mockery of human rights. The mafia kills democracy in whatever society it dominates. Such an evil can be vanquished only through the concerted efforts of politicians, businessmen, journalists and law­enforcers worldwide.

”DO'S AND DON'T'S FOR JURORS”
Ознакомьтесь с правилами для присяжных. При переводе текста
обратите внимание на использование повелительного наклонения.
During trial
1. DO arrive on time. The trial can not proceed (происходить) until all jurors are present. Do return to the courtroom promptly (сразу) after breaks and lunch.
2. DO pay close attention to witnesses. Concentrate both on what the witnesses say and on their manner while testifying (давать показания). If you cannot hear something, raise your hand and let the judge know.
3. DO keep an open mind all through the trial. DON’T form an opinion on the case beforehand. Remember that if you make up your mind while listening to one witness’s testimony, you may not be able to consider fully and fairly the testimony that comes later.
4. DO listen carefully to the instructions of the judge immediately before the jury begins its deliberations (обсуждение). Remember that it is your duty to accept what the judge says about the law to the case. DON’T ignore the judge’s instructions.
5. DON’T try to guess what the judge thinks about the case. Remember that the judge’s rulings (постановление) do not reflect personal views.
6. DON’T talk about the case with anyone while the trial is going on, not even with other jurors. It is equally important that you do not allow other people to talk about the case in your presence, even a family member.
7. DON’T talk to the lawyers, parties, or witnesses about anything. These people may ignore you outside the courtroom. Remember that they are not trying to be rude: they are merely trying to avoid giving the impression that something unfair (неправильный) is going on.
8. DON’T try to discover evidence on your own. For example, never go to the scene of any event that is part of the case you are hearing. Remember that courts decide cases only on the basis of evidence admissible (допустимый) in court.
9. DON’T let yourself get any information about the case from newspapers, television, radio, or any other source. Remember that news reports do not always give accurate or complete information. Even if the news about the trial is accurate, it cannot substitute for your own impressions about the case. If you should accidentally hear outside information about the case during trial, tell the bailiff
143
about it in private.
10. DON’T take notes during the trial unless the judge gives you permission to do so.
11. DON’T attempt to ask witness any questions. If you were to take part in asking questions, it’s hard for you to remain impartial (беспристрастный). In addition, because you are not a professional, your questions may not be proper under the rules of evidence. You’ll get the answers to most of your questions sooner or later in the course of questioning by the lawyers.
12. DON’T express your opinion about the case to the other jurors until deliberations begin. A person who expresses an opinion tends to pay attention only to evidence that supports it and to ignore evidence that points the other way.
During deliberations
1. DO consult with the other jurors before making up your mind about a verdict. Each juror must make up his or her own mind, but only after impartial group consideration of the evidence.
2. DO reason out differences of opinion between jurors by means of a complete and fair discussion of the evidence and of the judge’s instructions. DON’T lose your temper, try to bully (запугивать) other jurors, or refuse to listen to the opinions of other jurors.
3. DO reconsider your views in the light of your deliberations, and change them if you become convinced they are wrong. DON’T change your convictions about the importance or effect of evidence, however, just because other jurors disagree with you or so that the jury can decide on a verdict.
4. DON’T play cards, read, or engage in any other diversion.
5. DON’T mark or write on exhibits (вещественные доказательства) or otherwise change or injure them.
6. DON’T try to guess about the possible decision of the court of appeal. Remember that courts of appeal deal only with legal questions and will not change questions of fact.
7. DON’T cast lots (бросать жребий) or otherwise arrive at your verdict by chance, or the verdict will be illegal.
8. DON’T talk to anyone about your deliberations or about the verdict until the judge discharges (распускать) the jury. After discharge you may discuss the verdict and the deliberations with anyone to whom you wish to speak. DO be careful about what you say to others. You should not say or write anything that you would not be willing to state under oath.

STRUCTURING THE DETECTIVE FUNCTION
IN THE USA POLICE
The basic feature in American police departments is choosing personnel for the detective division from the patrol unit. Successful operation of police depends much on
their understanding the priorities (приоритет) in structuring (структурирование, построение) the detective function.
The primary function of the detective is to prevent crime and in case of its commission - to apprehend the offenders who escape (избегать, избавляться) arrest at the hands of the patrol division and to recover the stolen property. This function which consists essentially in the ferreting out serious crimes and in the detection of those who commit them includes (включать) criminal investigation and is a basic feature of modern police service. It is the point at which the forces of law and order approach (приближаться, подходить) the problem of crime and the criminal, detective division in the police department playing an important role in frustrating the efforts of professional criminals. Thus, crime detection includes overt and covert detective functions.
To cope with case load (нагрузка) in the police department it is necessary sometimes to detail the functions in the detective division into homicide, robbery (грабеж), burglary, larceny, automobile theft and other squads.
This specialization in detective division permits (позволять) the detective to concentrate his time and energies in the prevention and investigation of a particular (специфический, особый, определенный) type of criminal activity, and through continuous work in a specific criminal area he gradually builds up a fund of skills and information that is indispensable to departmental efficiency (эффективность, коэффициент полезного действия). Не comes to know
148
personally the offenders who operate within specific criminal specialty which constitutes the functional area of his investigation; operating in plain clothes if necessary he becomes familiar with their methods of operation, their habits, their distinctive marks, friends, relatives and close associates. (Contrary to general belief (убеждение, мнение) disguises (маскировка, переодевание) of various sorts do not play an important role in undercover work of the successful detective).
He chooses, cultivates and uses the informants who are very helpful in ferreting out serious crimes and investigative process. The information of the informants concerning the activities of criminal offenders is of great importance in crime prevention and quick and accurate crime solution. Not infrequently an experienced detective is able to narrow the investigation and search down to a single individual after a careful study of the crime scene and recognition (узнавание) of salient features of modus operandi. The detection and apprehension of the evil-doer and the production of evidence against him, all depend on criminal investigation which is the keystone in the structure of the detective function. Members of the detective division perform various types of investigation. The Oxford Universal Dictionary defines "investigation" as observing or studying by close examination and systematic inquiry. "Criminal investigation" involves four specific objectives (цель): 1. Establishing the fact of the commission of a crime ­the corpus delicti or the body of a crime. 2. Identifying the elements of the offence.
3. Detection and apprehension of the offender. 4.The production of evidence against him.
What does the successful solution of detective cases usually depend upon? It does not generally depend so much on miraculous (сверхъестественный) sleuthing powers or methods which we see in detective mystery thrillers (сенсационный фильм-боевик) but on persistent, intelligent hard work and qualifications and training which an ordinary policeman does not possess. If you ask, "What personal qualities does a good detective possess?", the answer could be, - there is no doubt that the successful detective possesses besides proper law enforcement professional education such personal qualities as common sense, courage, discretion (благоразумие, усмотрение), self-confidence, resourcefulness (находчивость), initiative, intelligence, imagination (воображение), patience (терпение) and perseverance (настойчивость), alertness (бдительность), discriminating observation, memory (especially memory to remember faces), and decision-making judgement. In general detective division carries out in police the functions similar to combat (боевой, строевой) elements in military operations.
