The use of reward systems in prisons has been widely adopted as a mechanism for managing inmate behavior and promoting rehabilitation. This systematic review aims to examine the effects of reward systems on inmate behavior, prison management, and rehabilitation outcomes. A comprehensive search of academic databases was conducted, and studies meeting inclusion criteria were analyzed for quality and relevance. Results indicate that reward systems can have positive effects on promoting desirable behaviors, such as compliance with rules, participation in rehabilitative programs, and reduced recidivism. However, the effectiveness of reward systems is influenced by factors such as the type of reward, consistency of implementation, and the relationship between rewards and long-term behavior change. The review concludes that while reward systems can be a useful tool in prison management, their success depends on proper implementation and alignment with broader rehabilitation goals.

The article analyzes the norms of legislative documents regulating prosecutor's supervision over the investigation of crimes related to the legalization of proceeds from criminal activities. Specifically, the United Nations Conventions, FATF recommendations, and other international legal norms are examined, with a comparative legal analysis against national legislative norms. Proposals are made regarding the implementation of international legal norms into national legislation.

This article examines the development and role of anti-corruption monitoring within the framework of the Model Legislation of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). It traces the evolution of this mechanism from its absence in early model laws to its comprehensive regulation in the Model Law "On Anti-Corruption Monitoring". The article highlights its significance as a systematic, scientifically grounded mechanism for assessing anti-corruption policies and other significant elements. This article suggests leveraging CIS model laws to strengthen national anti-corruption frameworks.

This article examines the evolving legal framework of cross-border transactions against the backdrop of shifting international regulations and diminishing traditional notions of state sovereignty. Drawing upon doctrinal analysis and a comparative perspective, it explores how emerging global governance structures, regional integration mechanisms, and soft-law instruments influence the design and implementation of transnational deals. Key areas of focus include the choice of corporate structures (holdings, SPVs, joint ventures), compliance with anti-corruption and tax regulations, and the strategic use of dispute resolution clauses, particularly in a context where national, supranational, and private regulatory regimes increasingly overlap. Empirical illustrations from Europe, North America, and Asia underscore the growing role of borderland cooperation and subnational initiatives in shaping cross-border transactions. The analysis highlights the need for practitioners to adapt contractual mechanisms in light of complex global norms and offers a multi-level approach to legal and regulatory compliance. Ultimately, the article argues that success in cross-border endeavors depends on integrating national law with transnational standards, leveraging innovative dispute resolution processes, and proactively engaging with local/regional stakeholders to foster legal certainty and minimize risk.
