This work critically assesses the legal nature and practice of the institution of bringing as a defendant in criminal proceedings in Russia, particularly in its relation to the substantive legal act of bringing to criminal responsibility. The author argues that, due to the general bureaucratization of the process, both the first and second acts have actually lost their original purpose to be the determining material and procedural guarantee of individual and justice in criminal proceedings. Objectifying as a legal fiction, the act of bringing the accused as an accused in the doctrine of Russian criminal procedure law, done directly in practice, is increasingly characterized as an accusation of duty, initial, intermediate, and final, which respectively form the ideas of duty, intermediate, initial, and investigative-final criminal prosecution. This negates the role of the named defining acts. Hence, the paper suggests an optimal mechanism for their implementation according to the purposes and tasks of substantive and procedural law

Further Development

In the article, an attempt is made to consider the recently introduced additional criminal procedural guarantees of the protection of attorney-client privilege from the point of view of the system of the Russian criminal procedural legislation and in the light of the practice of the European Court of Human Rights. The author comes to the conclusion that additional guarantees of protection of attorney-client privilege introduced by the Federal law № 73-FZ contribute to the further development of the adversarial principles of the Russian criminal proceedings. At the same time, some innovations seem to be controversial. The supplement introduced to part 2 of the Article 75 of the Russian Criminal Procedural Code (CPC) concerning inadmissibility of using advocatory items and documents as evidence come into conflct with the Article 17 of the CPC and do not constitute the whole legal system with other provisions of the criminal procedure law. The rules of part 3 of the Article 450.1 of the CPC, according to the author, are incompatible with part 5 of the Article 165 of the CPC regulating urgent procedures of investigative actions requiring judicial permission, as well as part 2 of the Article 450.1 of the CPC. The author makes a range of proposals to improve the legislation and its application.

The Right

Witness immunity, that is, the right of persons expressly referred to in the criminal procedure law to refuse to testify about circumstances, is considered in the special literature as one of the criminal procedure institutions, relating to the procedural status of the witness or the rules for his or her interrogation. Purpose: to demonstrate that the list of persons having witness immunity and the legal characteristics of the circumstances to which they are entitled not to testify, and the general rules for interrogating such persons, and exceptions to these general rules are indicators of the level of development of the national criminal procedure and legal system of a particular State. Methods: the author uses the methods of structural-system analysis and synthesis, comparative jurisprudence. The author's comparative analysis of Russian and German criminal procedure law clearly demonstrates the social and economic conditionality of the methods of securing witness immunity and the possibility of international exchange of law enforcement experience. The main conclusion from the study is the following: the legal significance of the criminal procedural institution of witness immunity goes far beyond the actual criminal procedure, and this institution has significant dynamics, reflecting changes in the socio-economic and political life of society.

The authors present a thorough research of the forms of rationality and the specifics of implementing the principles of procedural economy in the criminal procedure law of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Modern reforms of Kazakhstan’s legal system affected the criminal law sphere as well. The authors have conducted a comprehensive examination and analysis of the principles of procedural economy, effectiveness and rationality of criminal proceedings in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Under the current Criminal Procedure Code of the RK, the initial stage of the criminal process has been considerably transformed: the pre-investigation verification and initiation of a criminal case has been totally removed from it, which has considerably reduced a rather vast list of actions preceding the stage of initiating a criminal case. The dominant function of a democratic state is the protection of the constitutional rights of its citizens. It means that all branches of state power — legislative, executive and judicial — should serve the protection of the rights of a person, while other functions of the state – social, economic, political, environmental protection, public law and order — should comply with it. Different legal phenomena, relations, processes, interconnections and interactions in the legal sphere itself and, partially, outside it compose a special public system — the legal system, which develops relatively independently and functions alongside other public systems — social, spiritual-cultural, economic and state-political ones. The legal system is the condition and, simultaneously, the consequence of building a legal state and a civil society, representative democracy and political pluralism. The process of developing a legal state in the Republic of Kazakhstan is progressing successfully, some experience has been accumulated, and the positive experience of civilized countries that have achieved certain success in this area is implemented. The problem of procedural economy, effectiveness and rationality of criminal proceedings must be considered through the prism of the above-mentioned requirements.

History Of

The issues of specifying the procedural status of a person who concluded a pre-trial cooperation agreement are currently of research and practical interest. The divergence in settling some procedural aspects (starting with identifying the place and the role of the considered participant in the criminal proceedings and finishing with the feasibility of using the received information in evidence) brings to nothing the possibility of active participation of this person in the criminal case consideration. The authors attempt to analyze the most acute problems of determining the procedural status of the named subject of criminal proceedings to identify possible directions to improve criminal procedure law. To achieve target goals, the authors both analyzed the provisions of current criminal procedure legislation and considered the most interesting suggestions of scientists-processualists and practitioners on the improvement of legislative formulations describing the status of a person concluded a pre-trial cooperation agreement. Apart from this, the authors considered the history of the origin of this subject in the current national criminal procedure, showed the inconsistency of this figure in the current configuration of competitive criminal procedure. The authors propose introducing amendments to the texts of Articles 5, 74 of the RF Code of Criminal Procedure and discuss the necessity of moving Article 56.1 of the RF Code of Criminal Procedure to another chapter of the Code. Otherwise, according to the authors’ opinion, the participation of persons who concluded a pre-trial cooperation agreement in the criminal procedure will still rouse the censure of practitioners and face just criticism of the scientists-processualists.

The Stability

Stability of delinquency phenomenon refers to the continuance of an anti-social behavior. The recognition criteria of this phenomenon can be analyzed based on the dominant social frameworks. Analyzing the personality of delinquents and adapting it to specific techniques of delinquency prevention also promoting the compatibility of delinquents with the environment is a process that requires biopsychosocial studies. Personality record consists of the results of psychological, medical, and social studies and experiments regarding the personality of defendants and delinquents. Personality record plays an important role in criminal justice management. The criminal procedure law has been presented in Articles 203 and 286 of the criminal law of Iran. Personality record is one of the achievements of clinical criminology. Criminal criminology analyzes the corrigibility of delinquents using other related sciences. It also identifies the deviation rate and possible dangers of dangerous individuals. Then it becomes possible to take measures to treat the particular disorders of delinquents. Considering these matters, the recent research aims at answering the question regarding the effect of young individuals’ personality on the stability of delinquency. The main objective of this research is analyzing the role of personality record and techniques of preventing stability of delinquency among young individuals. The results of the recent research indicate that criminal procedure law has emphasized on the role of personality record in identifying penalties. However, according to the criminal procedure law, the process of analyzing the personality of delinquents has been limited to preliminary investigations.

The prevention of corporate crime in Indonesia is constrained due to unclear management of corporate crime. In order to overcome the imperfection of such arrangements, the Supreme Court issued Supreme Court Regulation No.13 of 2016 on the Procedures for Corruption Case Handling by Corporations. There are questions that arise, what are the obstacles faced by Law Enforcement in an effort to overcome corporate crime and how the role of Perma No. 13 of 2016 in overcoming the obstacles to overcome the criminal act of the corporation? Normative legal research method is used to answer the problem. Normatively, from various laws governing the corruption of the subject of crime, there is no detailed formulation of corporate handling procedures so that law enforcers experience difficulties in conducting the criminal proceedings against the corporation. Article 79 of the Law on the Supreme Court provides the legal basis that if there is a legal deficiency in the course of the judiciary in any case, the Supreme Court has the authority to enact legislation to fill such shortcomings or vacancies. Perma No.13 of 2016 can be used as a guide for Law Enforcement to overcome technical obstacles of corporation criminal procedure law. Nevertheless, Perma has limitation so that required update of corporation criminal procedure in RKUHAP. AbstrakPenanggulangan tindak pidana korporasi di Indonesia mengalami kendala akibat tidak jelasnya pengaturan penanganan tindak pidana korporasi. Dalam rangka mengatasi ketidaksempurnaan pengaturan tersebut, Mahkamah Agung menerbitkan Peraturan Mahkamah Agung No.13 Tahun 2016 tentang Tata Cara Penanganan Perkara Tindak Pidana Oleh Korporasi. Ada pertanyaan yang mengemuka yaitu apa saja kendala yang dihadapi Penegak Hukum dalam upaya menanggulangi tindak pidana korporasi dan bagaimana peran Perma Nomor 13 Tahun 2016 dalam mengatasi kendala penanggulangan tindak pidana korporasi tersebut? Metode penelitian hukum normatif digunakan untuk menjawab permasalahan tersebut. Secara normatif, dari berbagai peraturan perundang-undangan yang mengatur korporasi subjek tindak pidana, tidak dirumuskan detail tata cara penanganan korporasi sehingga penegak hukum mengalami kendala dalam melakukan proses pemidanaan terhadap korporasi. Pasal 79 Undang-Undang tentang Mahkamah Agung memberikan dasar hukum bahwa apabila dalam jalannya peradilan terdapat kekurangan atau kekosongan hukum dalam suatu hal, Mahkamah Agung memiliki wewenang membuat peraturan untuk mengisi kekurangan atau kekosongan tersebut. Perma No. 13 Tahun 2016 dapat dijadikan pedoman bagi Penegak Hukum untuk mengatasi kendala teknis hukum acara pidana korporasi. Namun, Perma tersebut memiliki keterbatasan sehingga diperlukan pembaruan hukum acara pidana korporasi dalam RKUHAP.

The research issue focuses on the examination of crown witnesses in the process of establishing criminal cases in Indonesia. The examination of the crown witnesses is necessary because law enforcement officers find it difficult to find evidence, other than the testimony of witnesses of the perpetrators themselves in order to find material truth that can be justified.

The need for legal protection against the crown witness and the need for a policy of reform of criminal procedure law through the refinement of the Criminal Procedure Code relating to the content of witness material of the crown firmly and limitatively in the future.

В статье рассматриваются актуальные проблемы реализации уголовно-процессуальных полномочий органов и учреждений УИС в стадии возбуждения уголовного дела. В частности, рассмотрена проблема и дано определение компетенции органов дознания и предварительного следствия, предусмотренной УПК РФ. Исследован объем уголовно-процессуальных прав и обязанностей органов дознания и следствия, а также оперативных подразделений УИС в системе иных органов дознания и следствия. Проведен анализ порядка принятия решений уполномоченными должностными лицами ФСИН России при проверке сообщений о преступлениях, выражено мнение о том, что они вправе принимать только одно решение: о передаче сообщения о преступлении по подследственности и в исключительных случаях возбуждать уголовные дела в порядке, предусмотренном ст. 157 УПК РФ. Рассмотрены причины, на основании которых законодатель уменьшил полномочия оперативных подразделений ФСИН России как органа дознания. Рассмотрены актуальность применения ст. 157 УПК РФ в части возбуждения уголовных дел и проведения по ним неотложных следственных действий, а также роль начальников органов и учреждений УИС в их проведении. На основании рассмотренных проблем подведен итог о нечеткой регламентации процессуальных полномочий органов и учреждений ФСИН России в уголовно-процессуальном законе и подзаконных актах на стадии возбуждения уголовного дела. The article deals with the actual problems of implementation of the criminal procedure powers of the criminal procedure authorities and institutions at the stage of criminal proceedings. In particular, we consider the problem and the definition of the competence of bodies of inquiry and preliminary investigation under code of criminal procedure. The volume of criminal procedure rights and obligations of operational divisions of the criminal investigation department in the system of other bodies of inquiry and investigation is studied. The analysis of the procedure for decision-making by authorized officials of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia when checking reports of crimes is carried out. The reasons why the legislator reduced the powers of operational divisions of the Federal penitentiary service of Russia as a body of inquiry are considered. The relevance of the application of article 157 of the criminal procedure code of the Russian Federation in terms of criminal cases and conducting urgent investigative actions on them, as well as the role of the heads of criminal investigation bodies and institutions in their conduct, were reviewed. Based on the problems discussed, the author summarizes the lack of regulation of the procedural powers of the Federal Penitentiary Service bodies and institutions in the criminal procedure law and by-laws at the stage of initiation of a criminal case.
