Abstract

This study identifies and analyzes contemporary challenges in combating economic crime in modern states, using Ukraine as a case study. Combining doctrinal legal analysis with descriptive secondary data, it draws on statutory and international-convention reviews, as well as institutional reports, including January–September 2024 data from the State Financial Monitoring Service of Ukraine, to examine the structural, operational, and legal dimensions of economic-crime enforcement. The analysis is descriptive and interpretive rather than causal. Over the nine-month period, more than 1.3 million financial transactions were reported for monitoring, with roughly one in five flagged for suspected money laundering, corruption, or terrorism financing; yet only a small share progressed to referral, prosecution, or confiscation. The enforcement chain narrows most sharply not at the generation of financial intelligence but at its conversion into investigations and resolved cases, an attrition that coincides with weak inter-agency coordination, limited adoption of advanced financial analytics, fragmented legal frameworks, and constrained cross-border data-sharing. A comparison with the more highly rated regimes of Singapore and Estonia, drawn from their mutual-evaluation reports, locates the same downstream bottleneck and clarifies where Ukraine's framework falls short. The study contributes a descriptive map of the interplay between institutional capacity and cross-border legal constraints in economic-crime enforcement. It proposes operational measures, including binding inter-agency service-level agreements, real-time data-exchange platforms, certified investigator training, and updated mutual legal assistance treaties enabling early-stage asset tracing, to help move enforcement from formal compliance toward measurable outcomes.

Abstract

   This study examines the behavior of policing-relevant administrative indicators in Ukraine across 2019–2024, spanning pre-escalation conditions and the period following the large-scale escalation of armed conflict beginning in February 2022. Using a measurement-aware, mixed-method descriptive design, we compile indicators across five domains: crime-processing backbone (registered and solved crimes), domestic-violence reporting, missing-persons caseload, institutional workload/service demand, and public trust in police. The evidence shows a clear discontinuity around 2022, where several domains stop behaving like extensions of pre-war patterns and begin reflecting a different measurement environment. Registered and solved crimes reverse direction after 2021 and expand through 2024, while the clearance proxy rises overall but does not move smoothly. Domestic-violence reports show volatility followed by post-2021 elevation, missing-persons magnitudes expand in post-2022 snapshots, and trust softens from 2023 to 2024. Cross-domain comparison reveals both convergence (multiple indicators shifting together around 2022) and divergence (clearance and trust moving differently from crime volumes). We interpret these patterns through an institutional-output lens: observed series are jointly shaped by changing reporting conditions, recording practices, coverage, and case processing constraints, not just by underlying prevalence. The study demonstrates a crisis-ready approach where indicators are reported faithfully to their public form, discontinuities are made explicit, and conclusions avoid over-claiming. Recommendations include pairing numbers with coverage/definitional metadata, treating cross-domain divergence as an audit trigger, and strengthening multi-source triangulation to distinguish changes in harm from changes in measurement.
