Abstract
The aim of this research was to detect shortcomings and provide suggestions for the development of new strategic directions in order to make combating organized crime more effective for providing security and comprehensive protection of human rights and freedoms. This aim was achieved through the methods of descriptive statistics, comparison and contrasting, descriptive analysis, pragmatic approach, forecasting. The main strategic directions of reforming measures to combat organized crime include: cooperation between government agencies, in particular, cooperation between government agencies and community representatives; destruction of the economic component of organized crime, criminal markets and criminal links between different types of criminal activities; providing proper level of education and digital literacy of law enforcement and other agencies; involving digital technologies and research findings in combating organized crime; creation of an appropriate national and international legal framework; securing the rights and freedoms of suspects or the accused; establishment and development of international cooperation to combat organized crime. This study is not comprehensive, thus opening up prospects for further research on improving the legal framework and the practical implementation of its provisions in combating cross-border and national organized crime.
