The article highlights the legislative framework and problems of combating mobbing (harassment) in the environment of the State Criminal Executive Service of Ukraine. In 2017, attempts were made in Ukraine to implement a new draft law on combating mobbing into legislation. However, only in 2022, thanks to the adoption of Law No. 2759-IX, an official definition of mobbing was provided for the first time in Ukraine and amendments were introduced to the current Labor Code, as well as the Law of Ukraine “On Collective Agreements and Contracts.

Keywords: mobbing, State Criminal Executive Service of Ukraine, legal regulation, prevention, legislation, employee.
