The role of civil society institutions in the law enforcement activities of the state

The article is devoted to the study of the role played by civil society institutions in the law enforcement activity of the state. Recognition that civil society is necessary in a state governed by the rule of law is the reason for increased attention to civil society institutions on the part of the state. Building interaction between civil society and the state is necessary, because only in the conditions of active dialog is it possible to identify existing problems and find ways to solve them. The participation of civil society institutions is assumed in various spheres and is present in the law enforcement activities of the state. Despite the fact that in general the idea of law enforcement activity in the theory of law and in Russian legislation has been formed, discussions continue regarding the definition of certain aspects of the functioning of state bodies as involving or not involving law enforcement. As a consequence, there are still discussions about the permissible limits of intervention of civil society institutions in law enforcement activities of the state, about the need for it, as well as the purpose of its implementation. There is still a problem of setting limits on the intervention of civil society institutions in law enforcement activities of the state, as well as a number of other problems, which are partly due to the imperfection of legal regulation, and partly due to the lack of elaboration of issues at the theoretical level, uncertainty of certain aspects of law enforcement and activities of civil society institutions. Together, these reasons determine the need for research, which was the reason for choosing the topic for the analysis. Based on the results, the author’s conclusions regarding the current role of civil society institutions, as well as what it should be in the perspective of the development of the state and its interaction with civil society are formulated and presented in this article.
