Abstract

The aim of the article is to define a modern interpretation of the categories "public policy" and "the sphere of activity of bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs", as well as the essence and content of public policy of Ukraine in this field. To achieve this goal, general scientific and special methods of cognition are used, namely: methods of analysis, synthesis, structural and functional, hermeneutics, comparison, special legal and some others.

It is emphasized that public policy should be considered in two notions: 1) as the established course (state) of development of the State and society; 2) as a type of public activity (process) regarding the formulation of public policy (political process) and its implementation (executive activity). The focus of the study is on the social relations that arise in the course of activities of the bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are relatively close, similar, and related in their nature. Therefore, objectively existing link between these social relations and their specificity require the integration of these relations into one domain. In the current context, public policy in the sphere of activity of bodies of Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine is proposed to consider as the purposeful and organizational activity of specially authorized public bodies and representatives of civil society in determining strategic goals, targets, forms and means of their achievement in the field of law enforcement activity. It should be emphasized that this law-enforcement activity is directly related to providing improvement of safe living environment as a basis for internal security in Ukraine, the formation of a modern system of internal security as a deterrent to the aggressor country, as well as the implementation of effective integrated border management and balanced migration policy in Ukraine.
