Overcoming Ethnic and Social Barriers by a Police Officer in the Process of Carrying out Professional Activities and Implementing the Principle of Impartiality

Abstract

In the article pose the problem of ethno-social barriers that make it difficult to implement the professional activities of an employee of the internal affairs bodies. As a result of the study, the authors conclude that an employee of the internal affairs bodies in his professional activity, being a representative of a certain ethnic community, inevitably encounters carriers of various ethnic cultures, sometimes demonstrating unusual or even unacceptable patterns of behavior for him, the reasons for which may not be obvious to the participants of these relations. The authors believe that one of the tasks of modern scientific research is to identify barriers of an ethno-social nature that prevent constructive interaction of an employee of the internal affairs bodies, both with his colleagues and with individuals from various ethnic communities, which in turn will allow localizing the directions of training employees for professional activity in a multiethnic environment. Within the framework of the conducted research, the classification of ethnosocial barriers is substantiated. As the most significant, the authors identify personal ethno-social barriers. The authors also propose the main directions of training police officers to overcome ethno-social barriers, substantiate proposals to change the current legislation.
