The paper is devoted to the study of factors affecting the effectiveness of law-enforcement acts. The paper analyzes the existing approaches to understanding the factors affecting the effectiveness of law-enforcement acts; the peculiarities of legal and non-legal factors of increasing the effectiveness of law-enforcement acts were investigated; the author's vision of the classification of factors affecting the effectiveness of law-enforcement acts is proposed. To achieve the purpose of the paper, a set of philosophical and worldview, general scientific, special scientific methods and principles of scientific knowledge were used, which provided an objective analysis of factors affecting the effectiveness of law-enforcement acts. It was established that the effectiveness of law-enforcement acts is the result of the general influence of both objective and specifically reproduced factors in their unity, and objective factors can both increase and decrease the effectiveness of purposefully used means. It was concluded that a positive impact on the effectiveness of law-enforcement acts can occur only if both legal and non-legal means are used in their unity and interrelationship. Legal means of ensuring the effectiveness of law-enforcement acts represent a three-unit system, which consists of means of standardizing, guaranteeing and ensuring the legal and technical perfection of law-enforcement acts. Standardization reflects the practice of creating special institutions, mechanisms and procedures that contribute to increasing the effectiveness of law-enforcement acts. Guaranteeing reflects the creation and implementation of means that ensure the practical operation (functionality) of such institutions, mechanisms and procedures. Implementation of techniques, rules, methods and means of legal technique reflects the most justified from the point of view of practical expediency method and technology of law enforcement. Among the non-legal factors affecting the effectiveness of law enforcement acts, spiritual and organizational factors are of particular importance. Along with this, it is also possible to single out social, economic, political and other factors that can positively affect the effectiveness of law-enforcement acts.
