The article explores the current issues of scientifically based approaches to the prevention and detection of customs crimes in the foreign economic sphere. Specific measures have been proposed to prevent them and to prevent them from spreading outside customs control in the territory of the State. The main shortcomings regarding the settlement of this issue and the way to resolve them have been revealed. The criminalization of relations in the field of foreign trade was facilitated by the slow response of the State by organizational and legal methods to the activities of external economic actors and the absence of transparent, economically sound, established rules of foreign trade and customs regulation. Despite the widespread and ever-increasing dynamics of criminal offences in the field of customs, the current state of legal science cannot yet offer effective methods of countering them, because there is no consensus on which offences are covered by the concept of "criminal offences in the field of customs" there are no boundaries of the object of influence. The Criminal Code of Ukraine provides, in addition to smuggling, for other offences that can be classified as criminal offences in the field of customs, the association of which will allow to provide a separate forensic characteristic under them, in turn will significantly facilitate the fight against them. Thus, in Ukraine, where more than 60% of gross domestic product is located in the shadow sector, where there is an unbalanced single-sided system of regulation and control, it performs mainly fiscal functions and is deprived of the possibility of full financial control of foreign economic entities there are all necessary prerequisites for the implementation of customs crimes. Thus, prevention is not only the main task of law enforcement agencies, but also a whole system, a set of measures to influence crime. Such measures include activities of various directions: economic, political, ideological, organizational, technical, legal, psychological, cultural ...

[A continuing offence is one which takes more than one act to prove the charge. Probably the best known is consorting but there are others. New legislation has introduced some serious continuing offences. Stalking and maintaining a sexual relationship with a young person are two of them. Others are hybrids: those which can be proved by one act or many. The best examples are drug trafficking or supplying. I examine them all. They are exceptions to the basic legal principle of one criminal act for each charge. I finish with a possible jury direction.]

This week we ask: Is there value in taking offence? Indeed, should we cultivate a readiness to take offence in ourselves and others?

This week we are looking at taking offence. What is it? Can it be a good thing? And can it also go too far?

The paper examines Cantonese tertiary students' email apology style for personal offences to teachers in their native language (L1, Cantonese) and second language (L2, English) learnt at school by testifying three hypotheses. Firstly, the Cantonese students' L1 and L2 apologies are always multi-componential, with at least two parts in one apology email, in spite of the fact that there is no statistically significant difference between Cantonese and English strategies and patterns. Secondly, in terms of linguistic devices, they adopt a consistent linguistic choice in both languages by means of using the low or mid degree of apologetic verbs to express their regret. Thirdly, the expressions of I'm sorry and deoi3 bat1 hei3 not only express regret but also initiate and prepare for the upcoming actions. It is argued that Cantonese students generally tend to adopt a multi-componential apology style in either language, and the use of low degree of apologetic verbs may be influenced by the nature of the offence and the students' interpretation of the seriousness of the offence. The findings have provided a better understanding of Chinese apology style, with particular reference to Cantonese, for personal offences and corresponding linguistic devices in a specific medium and a specific communicative situation.
