Abstract:

The article is devoted to the analysis of law enforcement agencies’ activities to search for missing persons. The purpose of the study is to examine the peculiarities of the analytical work of law enforcement agencies on missing person’s search. The methodological bases are general scientific and special scientific methods and techniques of scientific knowledge (systemic, formal-logical, structural-functional, sociological, historical and axiological). It is concluded that the criteria for law enforcement agencies to search for missing persons are the general state of search work, search for certain categories of missing persons, trends and processes that cause missing persons, causes and conditions of missing persons, results of police operations and special operations conduct. It is determined that the consolidation and combination of efforts of different units and services during the search work helps to increase the number of facts of locating missing persons. Attention is paid to the identification of factors influencing the assessment of the search work. The state of the international search missing persons is analyzed. The necessity of using the positive experience of European countries in the outlined activities is substantiated.

Abstract:

In many armed conflicts, forced disappearances and hiding the bodies of victims of mass atrocities are used strategically. This article argues that disappearances are powerful weapons, as their consequences reach from the most intimate relations to the formation of political communities. Consequently, political projects of forced disappearances leave difficult legacies for post-conflict reconciliation, and they give rise to a need to address individuals’ and families’ needs as well as relations between national and political groups implicated in the conflict. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, this articles explores the question of missing persons in post-1992 Bosnia. The processes of identification and practices of remembering and commemorating the missing are analyzed through the concept of liminality. The article argues that the future-oriented temporality of liminality gives rise to numerous practices of encountering the enigma of the missing, while the political atmosphere of postwar Bosnia restricts possibilities of communitas-type relationality across ethnonational differences.

Abstract:

Abstract The concept of social exclusion is used to explore the relationship between people and groups who are socially and economically disadvantaged and the phenomenon of going missing. Police data about missing persons are compared to census data to determine whether groups who experience family dissolution, labour market exclusion, and other forms of disadvantage and social exclusion are overrepresented among missing persons compared to the general population. The analysis shows that disadvantaged youth, women, Aboriginal people, people who are not in the labour force, unemployed people, and homeless people are all overrepresented among missing persons. People occupying the intersections of multiple high risk categories are at particularly high risk of going missing. Linking missing persons with the concept of social exclusion shows that social and economic disadvantage lead directly and indirectly to peoples’ disappearances. (133 words)

Abstract:

Abstract The number of people living with dementia that wander and go missing is increasing. First responders and service providers play a role in the return of a missing person living with dementia. In the United Kingdom (UK), “return home interviews” are discussions between police and returned missing persons that offer support to the returned missing person to prevent repeat incidents. This study aims to explore and understand the role of first responders and service providers who follow-up with returned missing persons living with dementia. Eight service providers (e.g., social workers) and seven first responders (e.g., police officers) from Canada and the UK participated in online semi-structured interviews. Data were concurrently collected and analyzed using conventional content analysis. In the UK, police conduct “return home interviews” within 72 hours of the missing person’s return. Some charities conduct interviews with vulnerable populations to prevent repeat missing incidents by understanding the circumstances of the missing incident and connecting the person to community supports. In Canada, although follow-up with returned missing persons is not routine, some police units offer support to returned missing older adults. Government and community support organizations also offer supports to returned missing older adults such as referrals for in-home support, technologies, and vulnerable person registries. Service providers and first responders have an important role to play in the prevention of repeat missing incidents. Findings will contribute to the development of a Canadian practice guide for conducting interviews with returned missing persons living with dementia.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to present the application of situation calculus for knowledge representation in missing persons investigations. Design/methodology/approach The development of a knowledge representation model for the missing persons investigation process based upon situation calculus, with a demonstration of the use of the model for a missing persons example case. Findings Situation calculus is valuable for knowledge representation for missing persons investigations, as such investigations have state changes over time, and due to the complexity of the differing investigation activities applicable to different situations, can be difficult to represent using simpler approaches such as tables or flowcharts. Research limitations/implications Situation calculus modelling for missing persons investigations adds formalism to the process beyond that which can be afforded by the current use of text, tables or flowcharts. The additional formalism is useful in dealing with the uncertainty present in such investigations. Practical implications The implications are a simplification of the application of the current police guidelines, and thoroughness in the application of such guidelines for missing persons investigations via situation calculus modelling. Social implications This paper supports the management of missing person investigations, by using the most critical variables in a missing persons investigation to determine relevant investigation and search activities applicable to the circumstances of a given case. Originality/value The novelty of the knowledge representation approach is the application of situation calculus via state and action vectors and a matrix of fluents to the process of missing persons investigations.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction: Persons living with dementia are at risk of becoming lost. When a person is returned home safely after a missing incident, an interview with the person or care partner may identify ways to prevent repeat incidents. It is not known if these interviews are being conducted for this population. Objectives: The purpose of this review was to understand return home interviews and whether they are being used with persons who have dementia. Methods: Scholarly and grey literature were searched in 20 databases. Articles were included from any language, year, study design if they included terms resembling “return home interview”, “missing,” “lost,” or “runaway”. Results: Eleven articles in scholarly, and 94 in grey literature sources were included, most from the United Kingdom. The majority of academic (55%) and grey (61%) articles were related to missing children, and none were specifically about persons living with dementia. Interviews were typically conducted within 72 hours after a missing person was returned, and by police or charitable organizations. The main reasons were to understand the causes of the incident and confirm the missing person’s safety, identify support needs, and to provide support to reduce repeat missing incidents. Conclusion: Existing reasons for interviews can also apply to persons with dementia. This review informs future research on return home interviews. It also informs community organizations, and police services interested in adopting this practice with persons living with dementia. Evaluations would confirm if these interviews can reduce repeat incidents and help keep people with dementia safe.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to determination of essence and content of legal status of persons missing under special circumstances. It is established that persons missing under special circumstances are endowed with a special legal status, which serves as an addition to their general legal status. Such grounds for obtaining legal status by persons as legal personality of a person as a set of legal capacity and capacity are characterized; the totality of subjective rights of a person, legal obligations and legal liability is distinguished as elements constituting the content of the general legal status of persons missing under special circumstances. It is argued that the presence of legal gaps in the administrative and legal regulation of the legal status of persons missing under special circumstances prevents the necessary and timely realization of the rights and freedoms of persons missing during the legal regime of martial law in Ukraine, slows down the procedure for protecting the violated rights of such persons and their restoration. The belonging and completeness of legal support of the rights and freedoms of persons missing under special circumstances is considered as a kind of indicator of the ability of public authorities to organize and search for such persons. The article analyzes the basic rights of persons missing under special circumstances provided by the special legislation of Ukraine, which belong to the elements of the legal status of such persons. It has been investigated that the peculiarities of legal status of persons missing under special circumstances are legally assigned to certain categories of persons: persons authorized to perform the functions of the state, and persons missing under special circumstances during military service. Emphasis is placed on the lack of a clear definition of the term "missing person" in international law, the main international treaties are analyzed in the context of the issue under study. It is emphasized that the rules of international law are harmonized with national legislation in such areas as social protection, family legal relations, labor relations, protection of property rights.

Abstract:

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to test the “power few” concept in relation to missing persons and the locations from which they are reported missing.Design/methodology/approachData on missing persons’ cases (n = 26,835) were extracted from the record management system of a municipal Canadian police service and used to create data sets of all of the reports associated with select repeat missing adults (n = 1943) and repeat missing youth (n = 6,576). From these sources, the five locations from which repeat missing adults and youth were most commonly reported missing were identified (“power few” locations). The overall frequency of reports generated by these locations was then assessed by examining all reports of both missing and repeat missing cases, and demographic and incident factors were also examined.FindingsThis study uncovers ten addresses (five for adults; five for youths) in the City from which this data was derived that account for 45 percent of all adults and 52 percent of all youth missing person reports. Even more striking, the study data suggest that targeting these top five locations for adults and youths could reduce the volume of repeat missing cases by 71 percent for adults and 68.6 percent for youths. In relation to the demographic characteristics of the study’s sample of adults and youths who repeatedly go missing, the authors find that female youth are two-thirds more likely to go missing than male youth. Additionally, the authors find that Aboriginal adults and youths are disproportionately represented among the repeat missing. Concerning the incident factors related to going missing repeatedly, the authors find that the repeat rate for going missing is 63.2 percent and that both adults and youths go missing 3–10 times on average.Practical implicationsThe study results suggest that, just as crime concentrates in particular spaces among specific offenders, repeat missing cases also concentrate in particular spaces and among particular people. In thinking about repeat missing persons, the present research offers support for viewing these concerns as a behavior setting issue – that is, as a combination of demographic factors of individuals, as well as factors associated with particular types of places. Targeting “power few” locations for prevention efforts, as well as those most at risk within these spaces, may yield positive results.Originality/valueVery little research has been conducted on missing persons and, more specifically, on how to more effectively target police initiatives to reduce case volumes. Further, this is the first paper to successfully apply the concept of the “power few” to missing persons’ cases.

Abstract:

Finding missing people is a time-critical and labor-intensive task and the longer it takes to locate the person, the lower the likelihood of a successful outcome. To address this challenge, an integrated and centralized database of missing persons using Aadhar card details was developed. The approach incorporates facial recognition technology, specifically the deep face algorithm, which has shown high accuracy in identifying individuals. While facial recognition has been in use for several years, recent advancements have made it easier to identify individuals accurately. By leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered facial recognition technology, officials can enhance and streamline the process of finding, tracking, and retrieving missing persons. The system matches facial features with the data stored in Aadhar cards, providing a reliable means of identification. This research presents a system that centralizes data, improving the efficiency of locating missing individuals. By utilizing facial recognition and centralizing data, the system offers an efficient approach to find missing people. The integration of technology and data allows quick and more accurate identification, increasing the chances of locating missing persons promptly.

Abstract:

The paper theoretically elaborates on the issue of the families of missing persons in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is still relevant after more than two and a half decades since the last war. In this regard, the text highlights the lack of relevant information on finding missing persons in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the war as the main problem facing families of missing persons. The media play an important role in the visibility and pointing out the need to solve the problem of missing persons in B&H, and often contribute to the overall picture of the public through their (non)work. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the importance and shortcomings of media reporting from the perspective of the families of missing persons in B&H. In this regard research was conducted that included 100 family members of missing persons, to examine their views on the manner and frequency of media reporting, the perception of the professional approach of journalists to whom they had the opportunity to give a statement, but also ways to improve media coverage the issue of missing persons. The conducted research revealed that the statements of family members of missing persons in the media are reported factually, mainly during the anniversary celebrations, and less investigative journalism, and that newsrooms do not have specialized journalists on this topic. According to the results of this research, we concluded that closer cooperation between the media and the Associations of Families of Missing Persons is needed to improve media reporting on the topic of missing persons in B&H. It would greatly contribute to solving this problem in society.

Abstract:

Every war brings its share of missing persons, whether military or civilian. And every individual reported missing is then sought by a family anxiously awaiting news of their loved one. These families cannot be left in such a state of anguish. For the truth, however painful it may be, is preferable to the torture of uncertainty and false hope. In Bosnia and Herzegovina civilians were especially affected by a conflict in which belligerents pursued a policy of ethnic cleansing by expelling minority groups from certain regions. Thousands of people who disappeared in combat or were thrown into prison, summarily executed or massacred, are still being sought by their families.

Abstract:

Abstract: This paper presents a web-based application system that utilizes deep learning as the core technology of a Face Recognition System, with the primary objective of enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of locating missing individuals. Every day, a significant number of individuals go missing due to various factors such as old age, mental health issues, or conditions like Alzheimer’s. The conventional methods employed for searching for missing persons are typically slow, expensive, and involve protracted physical searches lasting weeks or even months. In contrast, deep learning-based technologies offer a promising solution by rapidly analyzing substantial volumes of data within minutes or hours. By leveraging facial recognition technology, which is an application of deep learning, our proposed system aims to compare images and videos obtained from surveillance cameras with pictures of missing persons to identify potential matches. Specifically, we employ the Resnet deep learning algorithm to examine the images of missing individuals, thereby improving the accuracy and speed of identification and making the process more reliable and efficient. To provide a comprehensive solution, we have developed a user-friendly webbased application system that facilitates the search for missing persons. The application efficiently collects and stores information about missing individuals in a centralized database. Whenever a missing person is identified in a CCTV video stream, our application actively tracks their location. Once the missing person is successfully identified within the video stream, the application promptly sends location details via email to the person’s relative

Abstract:

After a decade of attempts at patient-oriented research, this article seeks to advance the approach, making individuals and communities active partners in health research. Patient-oriented research remains inconsistently implemented, tokenistic, and met with resistance—largely due to the system in which it was conceived and practiced. Patients remain bound by object-oriented medical cosmologies, thus reaffirming the hierarchical system underpinned by professional dominance. Until health research and researchers develop an awareness of the subtle injustices legitimized by the current approach, patient-oriented research will not actualize its mandate. This article does not challenge the healthcare system as that is beyond its scope; instead, it aims to develop further the “what” and “how” of public involvement in health research through the supplement of participatory research methodologies. In effect, setting the early foundations for transformation and encouraging a transition to a more just and equitable healthcare and research ecosystem.

Abstract:

Data from the Jayapura District Police shows that there was an increase in the number of missing persons in Jayapura City. In January 2022, there were 8 reports of missing persons, and this number doubled to 16 in March 2022. Currently, the police rely on reports from the public to find missing individuals. They then conduct direct checks in the field, confirm the reported characteristics, and contact the families. However, this method is not considered modern or efficient enough to handle the increasing number of missing persons cases. In this modern age, technological developments, especially in mobile applications, can offer more effective and efficient solutions. Therefore, a prototype application for missing persons based on Android was developed as an alternative to help address the issue of missing persons, especially in Jayapura City. The missing persons application underwent black box testing to ensure that its functions and inputs are working correctly, and the validation function was used to check its accuracy. The test results showed that the application is functioning well and can be used as a tool to help find missing persons in the city. However, continuous monitoring and improvement of the application are necessary to ensure that it remains effective in the long term.

Abstract:

The main aim of the article is to test how states implement international humanitarian law (IHL) with regard to the families of missing persons. The article shows relevant IHL shortcomings and compares them with rules applicable in cases of enforced disappearance. The national legislation collected in the section titled ‘The Missing and Their Families’ of the National Implementation Database of the International Committee of the Red Cross is then examined. The analysis addresses three core questions that are particularly relevant for families of missing persons: (1) Who is considered a missing person under each law? Approaching this question allows the testing of whether states follow the understanding of ‘missing persons’ under IHL treaty law. The second and third questions address two issues that are crucial for families of missing persons that are not addressed in IHL: (2) How is the legal status of the missing person regulated? (3) Are family members provided with measures of reparation and/or assistance? This approach reveals that states rarely apply the IHL understanding of ‘missing persons’ and predominantly exceed IHL by addressing some of the identified shortcomings. It further shows that states provide families of missing persons either with reparation measures – in cases of human rights violations – or, less often, with measures of assistance in post-conflict situations.

Abstract:

Article 44 paragraph (4) of Law No. 24 of 2013 it is not clear which judicial body has the authority to determine the unclear whereabouts of a person because of missing or dead but his body was not found. For this reason, this research focuses on 2 (two) problems. First, the practice of civil justice regarding applications for the determination of missing persons. Second, the meaning of the authority to adjudicate in the practice of civil justice regarding applications for the determination of missing persons. This research is included in the theoretical research using a statute approach, case approach, and conceptual approach. The results of this study answer 2 (two) problems. First, in examining and adjudicating cases of petition for the determination of missing persons, the general court uses rules regarding the state of absence (afwezig) according to Article 467 and Article 468 of the Civil Code, while religious courts use a legal basis relating to inheritance law. Second, to examine and adjudicate cases for the application of missing persons, the authority of the general court is based on Article 467 and Article 468 of the Civil Code, while the authority of the religious court body still requires interpretation of the judge's law on the subject matter, namely whether it has a connection with inheritance law or not. The case for appealing the missing person, as long as it is related to inheritance law, can reopen the option for Muslims to choose which judicial body to obtain legal certainty regarding the person's absence.

Abstract:

Given the challenges of the ongoing war, the relevance of this study is conditioned by to the need to improve the practice of searching for Ukrainian citizens who went missing under special circumstances, specifically on the territory of other European states. The purpose of this study was to examine the legislative regulation of the status of missing persons and to analyse the legal regulation of relations related to the identification and search for, as well as social and legal protection of such persons. The methodological framework of the study was formed by both general scientific and special methods of scientific cognition: systemic and structural, informational, terminological, and formal logical method. Using these methods, the study highlighted the content of international and national regulatory legislation, which determines that the legal grounds for conducting a search for missing persons are the legal norms constituting the basis of international, legislative, and departmental regulations and are cumulative. The role of the International Committee of the Red Cross is analysed, and the statistics of identification of persons missing under special circumstances by this organisation was considered. Attention was focused on the activities of the International Commission on Missing Persons, which operated in various countries where the situation of missing persons during armed conflict and military operations arose. It was proved that the effectiveness of the mechanism for searching for missing persons depends on the interpretation of certain provisions of regulatory legislation, as well as on the staffing of bodies and units directly involved in the search for persons of this category. The study focused on the activities of the Commission on Missing Persons under Special Circumstances, which is a permanent advisory body of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, as well as the significance of the International Commission on Missing Persons. It was concluded that the real situation in countries with ongoing armed conflicts necessitates the introduction and use of advanced digital technologies in the work on searching for missing persons. The study can serve as a basis for improving the legal framework for international cooperation in identifying missing civilians and military personnel in the territories where armed conflicts have occurred or are ongoing

Abstract:

This article contains a comparative and legal analysis of the organization of search for persons missing under special circumstances, in Ukraine and other countries. The author researches the order of search for missing persons in Ukraine and countries that had military and armed conflicts, as a result of which they introduced special mechanisms for searching for persons missing in such conflicts. The international experience of some countries on the functioning of domestic bodies with competence to solve issues related to the search for missing persons, including: the Federal Republic of Germany, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republic of Croatia, Montenegro, the Republic of Serbia, the Republic of Kosovo, which in different time periods had armed conflicts in their territories. The article analyzes the interaction of individual countries with the International Commission on Missing Persons, an intergovernmental organization created to solve the problem of persons missing due to conflicts that took place in the Balkan Peninsula. It is noted that this intergovernmental organization carries out its functioning, including on the territory of Ukraine as a result of armed aggression by the Russian Federation. The author emphasizes that the proper prerequisites for the implementation of state policy in the field of regulation of public relations are created in Ukraine, which are related to the search for persons missing under special circumstances, the certainty of legal status and social protection of such persons. At the same time, the need for the use of positive international experience of other countries in Ukraine on the organization and application of a set of measures during the search for persons missing under special circumstances has been highlighted. It is noted that the necessary consequence of the search for missing persons is the restoration of the social status of such persons, their constitutional rights, obligations, and freedoms that are guaranteed by the state. It has been established that Ukrainian legislation currently defines a wide range of state authorities that are authorized to search for persons missing under special circumstances. At the same time, the author's position on the advantages and disadvantages of such a subject composition of search activity is given.

Abstract:

Autonomous robotic teams have been proposed for a variety of lost-person searches in wilderness and urban settings. In the latter scenarios, for missing persons, the application of such teams, however, is more challenging than it would be in the wilderness. This paper, specifically, examines the application of an autonomous team of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to perform a sparse, mobile-target search in an urban setting. A novel multi-UAV search-trajectory planning method, which relies on the prediction of the missing-person’s motion, given a known map of the search environment, is the primary focus. The proposed method incorporates periodic updates of the estimates of where the lost/missing person may be, allowing for intelligent re-coverage of previously searched areas. Additional significant contributions of this work include a behavior-based motion-prediction method for missing persons and a novel non-parametric estimator for iso-probability-based (missing-person-location) curves. Simulated experiments are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed search-planning method, demonstrating higher rates of missing-person detection and in shorter times compared to other methods.

Abstract:

Despite widespread concern over missing persons, there has always been little clarity on what the word “missing” means. Although the category of young runaways is, indeed, an important cluster, other popular concepts related to disappearances describe a portion of missing persons. Thus, the following question persists: What exactly does “missing” mean? In this brief communication, we would like to open a discussion about the social phenomenon of missing persons and the consequent deployment of people and techniques to find those persons. In particular, the benefits of some forensic geoarchaeological approaches that are not yet fully standardized will be highlighted, such as geographic profiling and the use of multispectral satellite images, in order to provide materials for future searching protocols.

Abstract:

Abstract This article introduces the Special Section dealing with conflict related missing persons in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. It examines the context to the conflicts in the region and brings to the fore the fact that the breakup of the Soviet Union has had a massive legacy in terms of the conflicts it spawned, over identity matters and various territorial claims, and how that vestige lingers today. The article examines why the three countries are useful to analyse comparatively, what we can learn from them and how these issues are also reflective of the democratic and human rights status in each. This article ends by discussing the general problems relating to missing persons in the three countries, and why the law and the processes to deal with missing persons in these and many other countries around the world need to be reformed. The focus of each of the three country articles is then more inward-looking. They explore the situation in each country concerning missing persons, the institutions that have been established to deal with those matters, the laws that deal with missing persons, and what is needed to make progress on all the issues relating to missing persons.

Abstract:

The phenomenon of missing persons is one of the threats to the public perception of security, in whose preventing significant role belongs to police, detective companies and other non-governmental organizations involved in the search for missing persons. Searching for missing persons is considered as one of the most difficult tasks, which is determined not only by the inherent uncertainties of the situation and the important role in preventing and detecting criminal offenses, but also by the major ethical significance. The aim of this article is to draw attention of people to number of problems of missing persons, indicating possible ways and means of solving their problems. For this purpose had been investigated either sources of special and other literature on the topic under study and the research carried out by the Latvian Police Academy in cooperation with the State Police's Main Criminal Police Board on measures for the detection of missing persons killings and the methodology of finding persons in Latvia and abroad ", as well as materials from practical conferences related to issues of person search.

Abstract:

The article analyses selected systems of international cooperation in ensuring the safety of missing persons. The study indicates the categories of missing persons, the procedures regulating the conduct of a police officer in the case of a missing person, the documentation of search activities, the scale and causes of disappearances and the cooperation of institutions and non-governmental organisations in the search for a missing person. Improving the circulation of information between Police organisational units concerning disappearances outside the Republic of Poland is an important task of the institution through the dissemination of electronic exchange of information, in particular with regard to the categorisation of missing persons. Authors believes that it is important to take steps to enlist new groups to extend their reach to cover both domestic and international areas, thereby affecting the efficient and effective operations of the Police in conducting searches for missing persons both domestically and internationally.

Abstract:

Abstract Persons living with dementia are at higher risk of getting lost and going missing. The adverse outcomes of missing incidents are stressful for persons living with dementia and those who care for them. This study aimed to identify and describe the perspectives of persons with dementia, caregivers and community support organizations on risk factors. Generic qualitative description informed our methods. We conducted 30 virtual interviews with persons who live with dementia, professional and family caregivers and community support organization representatives. We used a card sort to elicit and describe perspectives on the importance of 27 risk factors commonly associated with missing incidents in persons living with dementia. Interviews were digitally recorded, transcribed verbatim, and subjected to content analysis to determine the presence of relevant words, themes, and concepts. Participants reported multiple experiences of a person going missing, impressions, and suggested relationships between factors such as environmental contexts. The most critical risk factors associated with getting lost and going missing were cognitive impairment, unmet needs, and inadequate concentration of services and resources. In contrast, race, education, and gender were perceived as unimportant pertaining to risk factors related to missing incidents in persons living with dementia. An understanding of the perceived importance of risks associated with missing incidents enhances a person-centered approach to addressing unmet needs, services and resources that balances quality of life with maintaining safety.

Abstract:

The relevance of the article lies in the fact that in the present conditions problematic issues of tracing missing persons are in the plane of solving the totality of legal sciences, such as administrative law, criminal law, forensics, criminology, operational-search activity. The article states that certain aspects of search activity regarding missing persons were and still remain the subject of many studies. The author determined the state of scientific development of the subject of research, at the same time outlined the directions that require in-depth study due to the current state of the regulatory framework - the participation of public associations and volunteer organizations in the search for persons missing under special circumstances. It was found that the search for persons missing under special circumstances requires updating the legal regulation due to the presence of separate legal gaps. In particular, the term "volunteer organization" and "volunteer movement" remains undefined, which are used by some public organizations to refer to their activities. The attention is focused on the need to legislate the term "volunteer organization" ("volunteer movement"), by which it is proposed to understand a public association that carries out charitable activities in favor of persons affected by special circumstances, and does not intend to make a profit. Legal support for the functioning of public associations, whose areas of activity are providing assistance in the search for missing persons - adults, children and a separate category of persons - military personnel and prisoners of war. It is established that the legislation of Ukraine contains a list of state authorities that are empowered to carry out search actions against persons missing under special circumstances. Nevertheless, there is no proper organization for the publication of the functioning of public associations in the field of search for missing persons.
