The negative impact of the existing legislative approach to reforming the criminal process on the possibility of its convergence with other procedural branches is considered. The unjustified separation of bills on reforming the CPC within the framework of unified procedural transformations is noted. Separate legislative work on the criminal process, on the one hand, and arbitration, civil and administrative, on the other hand, leads to the emergence of additional unjustified differences in the normative consolidation of universal institutions. Specific examples of undesirable divergence of lawsuits caused by uncoordinated lawmaking are given. The absence of convergence of procedural law among the goals of both sectoral, in particular, criminal procedure policy, and judicial policy is noted. The necessity of developing the concept and directions of judicial procedural policy is substantiated.

The article deals with the comparative analysis of the procedure and grounds for reviewing court cases under new and newly discovered circumstances in criminal and arbitration, civil and administrative proceedings. The author proceeds from the idea of common fundamental beginnings of justice in general, and therefore, all types of judicial activities - including an extraordinary review of judicial decisions, which have entered into legal force. The branch specifics of specific procedural institutions should have a special explanation based on the specifics of the branch itself. The author thinks that there is no key basis for reviewing the case on the newly discovered circumstances in the criminal trial and attempts to replace it with one of the new circumstances. In this part, the current criminal procedure law differs unfavourably from the Soviet Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) of the RSFSR of 1960 - among the newly discovered circumstances, there are no those that could indicate a miscarriage of justice made out of direct connection with someone's criminal actions. In the current CPC of the Russian Federation, the list of newly discovered circumstances is closed, and the list of new circumstances that entail the review of the court decisions is, on the contrary, open. Examples of academic papers and administrative enactments justifying such a replacement are given. The author gives his arguments against it and proposes to change the list of grounds for revision, referring to the regulation in other procedural branches, historical and foreign experience. A significant procedural difference of the considered type of extraordinary review of cases in criminal proceedings from other types of proceedings is found. It is the need for applicants to request a review from the prosecutor, not from the court. The greatest objection is the non-alternative procedure: the prosecutor is a participant in the criminal proceedings on the part of the prosecution, he is responsible for the undoubted proof of the charge, which is the basis of the sentence, the abolition of which is requested by another interested person. The negative impact of the prosecutor's mediation between the complainant and the court on access to justice and its quality is argued. It is pointed out that there is no need for prosecutorial checks to resolve the issue of judicial review of the case. The analysis of judicial statistics in different branches of justice shows that criminal proceedings differ sharply by the negligible number of judicial review cases due to newly discovered and new circumstances. The article calls into question the ability to explain this fact by a higher quality of sentences in criminal cases in comparison with other court decisions in other court cases.

This paper’s main objective is to present, based on the Shakespearean play “Measure for Measure”, and the hermeneutical observations of Cesare Beccaria, the necessity of rethinking the role of the court in the criminal procedure. In order to do so, a qualitative research was adopted, as well as a bibliographical-documentary analysis, insofar as it dealt with scientific articles and doctrinal texts, as well as legislative documents and judicial decisions, using the deductive method. The undeniable contribution of literature to the juridical science is thus made visible, as it makes possible a strong critical subversion, besides portraying cultures and also working with interpretation. In this sense, after the synthesis of the Shakespearean plot, two models of judgments, objectivist and subjectivist, were visualized, which facilitates the debate about the magistrate’s role in the criminal process. This same logic was applied by Beccaria in “On Crimes and Punishments”, in which the author dismissed any kind of judicial voluntarism, and attributed to the judge the obedient execution of the written law. Thus, it was found that, since the constitutional reading of the criminal process is intrinsic to democracy, it is incumbent upon the magistrate to construct and maintain the process as a space for effecting guarantees and rights of the accused, so as to be a true spectator. Finally, the excessive emphasis on court decision results in a real disassociation with the accusatory system, as, by ignoring the semantic limits of the legal text, except in the case of constitutionality / conventionality control or in favor of the defendant, it performs a vulgar arbitration, which undermines the constitutional instrumentality.

Introduction: the issues of interaction of the investigator, as the central figure in the process of investigating crimes of extremism, continue to be the object of attention of scientists and practitioners. And this is not surprising, because the state of interaction of the investigator with the body of inquiry, the representatives of other services and departments, first of all, the law enforcement agencies directly depends on the speed of solving and the completeness of the investigation of each committed extremist crime, and this, in turn, affects the prestige of law enforcement agencies among the population and, as a result, the level of criminogenic situation. Despite the large number of recommendations available in the legal and specialized literature aimed at improving certain aspects of this type of activity of the person conducting the investigation, the dynamically developing criminal procedure legislation, as well as actively changing the operational-search and investigative practice, provide new food for analyzing the current state of interaction, in order to identify those newly emerging factors that negatively affect the organization and state of interaction of the main subjects of the investigation and which, ultimately, have a negative impact on the course and results of the investigation. In this regard, the authors aim to highlight some problematic issues that arise in the course of organizing and maintaining the proper level of interaction between the investigative body and other subjects of the investigation to ensure the prompt and comprehensive establishment of all the circumstances to be proved. Tasks: to describe the areas of interaction between the investigator and the body of inquiry during the investigation of crimes in cases of extremism; to give recommendations aimed at overcoming these problems. Methods: the methodological framework for the study is a set of methods of scientific knowledge, among which the main ones are the methods of information processing and logical analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction and generalization. Results: the authors’ point of view on the problems associated with the organization of interaction between the investigator and employees of other services and departments of the law enforcement agencies in order to uncover and investigate crimes of extremism, as well as the proposed ways to solve them, based on the analysis of modern operational and investigative practice, trends in the development of the current criminal procedure legislation make it possible to use them in the practical activities of the authorized law enforcement officials in their practical activities aimed at solving and investigating crimes. Conclusions: as a result of the study, the existing problems determined by the changes in the criminal procedure legislation and operational and investigative practice are identified, and the ways to overcome them are proposed in order to inform students in the field of training “Jurisprudence”, teachers of law schools, as well as practitioners in order to better understand the specifics of the investigation of crimes of this category.

The introduction of many new procedural institu-tions and forms of pre-trial investigation, the updating of criminal procedure legislation actualizes the issue of investigating the procedural status of the victim. The modern domestic criminal process should provide a balance between numerous novelties and procedural rules designed to ensure compliance with the principle of competition and equality of the parties to the prosecution and defense. In accordance with this principle, "the parties involved in criminal proceedings are equal, that is, they are given equal opportunities to defend their position in accordance with the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the CPC.

The authors studied the opinions of scientists and practitioners on the issue under consideration, as well as the provisions of criminal procedure legislation regulating the rights and obliga-tions of the victim, the ratio of General and special norms. As a result, the authors concluded that it is necessary to grant the victim the right to Express his opinion on the use or non-use of coercive measures against the suspect. In the course of studying this issue, the authors applied methods of comparative analysis, deduction, forecasting, and others.

Prosecution and justice form the basis of the criminal procedure system. The form of the charge determines the type of criminal process. The transition to an adversarial type of process consists only in changing the investigative form of bringing charges to the judicial form. the substantive component of the prosecution is related to the mechanism of bringing to criminal responsibility. Criminal prosecution should be carried out by the court if the charge is recognized as legitimate.

In November 2019, the world legal community widely celebrated the 125th anniversary of Professor M. S. Strogovich, who, according to his scientific colleagues and students, was a scientist who was “ahead of time”.This article provides a retrospective and comparative analysis of the positions of M. S. Strogovich and his colleagues on certain problems of domestic criminal proceedings, in particular its pre-trial phase, in the context of the direct influence of the scientist's scientific heritage on the development of modern criminal procedure law. The Author of the article particularly interesting views of the scientist and his participation in discussions related to defining the essence and purpose of the preliminary investigation, the implementation of the functions of preliminary investigation in relation to criminal prosecution, the problems of implementation of the principles of presumption of innocence and the adversarial nature of pre-trial proceedings in criminal cases, and, finally, the General Manager of the “investigative case” in modern Russia.M. S. Strogovich consistently adhered to the idea of the need to develop and strengthen procedural guarantees of individual rights, guarantees of justice, and this can be seen in this article. Thus, defining the essence of the criminal process as a system of actions of the relevant officials and the procedural legal relations that arise in connection with them, which in itself was a serious “scientific courage” of those years, M. S. Strogovich particularly defended the position that all participants in criminal proceedings are subjects of the rights granted to them and the duties assigned to them, and they should not be considered objects of unilateral power of officials. This idea has become widespread and generally accepted as the basic definition of domestic (Soviet and Russian) criminal proceedings.The article analyzes M. S. Strogovich’s scientific steps on the conceptual turn from revolutionary-radical ideas about the construction of criminal proceedings to its classical canons and traditions of the Russian criminal process, On the basis of which the conclusion is made about the indispensable use of the scientist's legacy in modernьRussian procedural studies.The research of M. S. Strogovich’s legacy carried out in the article will fully allow to rethink the modern system of criminal proceedings in a new way, can be used as a kind of key to finding solutions to law-making and law enforcement problems, for the further development of the national science of criminal procedure law.
