The crime detection of sexual violence needs to be optimized and improved. This study aims to substantiate, elaborate, and apply in practice the method of a transformed interview (based on mathematical modeling) to obtain information about sexual violence. For the first time the transformed-interview method was used while studying the hidden (latent) victims of sexual violence who do not want to report a crime to law enforcement agencies because they do not want the fact of violence against them to be made public. Participated 2570 Ukrainian women of different social status, 16-35 years old. It was found that the increase of intermediaries during the information transmission reduces reliability of the information about crimes against the person’s sexual inviolability. While investigating such types of crimes the needed information can be obtained with a higher degree of reliability not from the victim, but from her closest surroundings. The transformed-interview method proved to be an effective tool to extract the information related to the behavior of both the offender and his victim. This method shows reliability and makes it possible to reduce the latency of most crimes in the situation of the victim’s refusal to testify at the re-trial investigation.

The article presents the results of a study of the specifics of psychological protection mechanisms and coping strategies for civilians affected by the local armed conflict, which has been raging in eastern Ukraine for the eighth year. It is shown that despite the non-constructive actions of protective mechanisms, they are widely used by all categories of the affected population. There is a general trend in the frequency of use of protective mechanisms such as compensation and rationalization. It is proved that: (a) victims who have received a more intense psychological shock will have a tendency to plunge into their emotional experiences in difficult situations; (B) the most effective and rational ways to overcome the situation of vital threat will be chosen by the least affected persons. The results obtained during the study allow us to state that: protective mechanisms, despite their inherent constructiveness, are widely used by all categories of the affected population in conditions of prolonged local armed conflict. Each of the groups of subjects has certain features of their use, however, no pattern has been identified. Despite the different levels of shock experienced, the study of all groups is characterized by a general trend towards the predominance of the use of such protective mechanisms as compensation and rationalization. Victims who have received a more intense psychological shock are characterized by a tendency in difficult situations to immerse themselves in their emotional experiences. The least effective and rational ways to overcome the situation of vital threat will be chosen by the least affected persons. The peculiarities of the use of coping strategies and mechanisms of psychological protection by employees of the security and defense sector of Ukraine need further study.
