Abstract

In the context of globalization and changing technological patterns, there is a transformation of modern legal systems, which leads to the actualization of the search for new tools that enhance the effectiveness of law enforcement activities. The purpose is to explore the interpretation of law as a key tool for ensuring uniform and effective application of legal norms. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve the following tasks: to determine the criteria for the effectiveness of law enforcement; to analyze the points of view of leading scientists regarding the essence of the concept of “effectiveness of law enforcement” and to summarize existing approaches to defining this category; to consider the theoretical foundations of the interpretation of law and its relationship with law enforcement. In the study of the category “interpretation of law” and the identification of contradictions related to the theoretical and practical aspects of its application, the dialectical method was used. The historical and legal method made it possible to trace the genesis of approaches to the concept of “effectiveness of law enforcement”, as well as criteria for its definition and evaluation. The formal legal method was used to clarify the content of the current legal norms. The method of analysis is used in the study of doctrinal sources, the method of synthesis is used in the formulation of basic research concepts and consideration of various aspects of this problem. Using an instrumental approach, the role of interpretation of legal norms in the law enforcement process is determined. The points of view of prominent scientists on the problems of law enforcement effectiveness are analyzed, and criteria for the effectiveness of law enforcement activities are identified. It is concluded that the interpretation of law is one of the important tools for improving the effectiveness of law enforcement, but there are factors that hinder the use of its potential. In this regard, the prospects for further research should be related to the development of new methodological approaches to the interpretation of law, the use of which will improve the effectiveness of law enforcement.
