The law recognizes both litigation and non-litigation settlement mechanisms, but it is almost not explicitly regulated for non-litigation settlement in criminal cases. Non-litigation in criminal recognizes the concept of restorative justice for the public interest, which is different from the private realm in civil. The concept of restorative justice exists to rehabilitate the state of criminals so that they are accepted back into the community. The concept of restorative justice is manifested in the mediation mechanism in criminal law in the form of penal mediation, but penal mediation does not yet have a legal umbrella. The non-progressive normative application of the law results in the overcapacity of prisons/remand centres. Currently, the Draft Criminal Procedure Code (hereinafter as RKUHAP) is being drafted, which does not yet regulate the application of non-litigation solutions. Later, it can be applied by law enforcement agencies so that problems such as overcapacity prisons are resolved and the creation of peaceful order in the community. This study aims to provide a view of the concept of penal mediation in criminal procedural law to serve as an aspiration for the consideration of the parties involved in the preparation of the substance of the RKUHAP. This paper uses a normative approach with technical analysis using hermeneutic analysis and interpretation methods.

The 20-30 years of the XX-th century in the history of Kazakhstan are characterized by the formation of such a form of governance of the republic from the center as the institute of emissaries. This form of management remained unchanged until the end of the Soviet period. The system of administrative management has acquired a new character, consolidating the former imperial positions based on the search for sources of raw materials and sales markets. The history of the formation and activity of the Institute of emissaries as a management system in Kazakhstan was not considered as an object of historical analysis. For the first time in the Kazakh historiography in the context of the 20-30s, the author analyzes the origins of the formation of this institute of management. The article highlights the beginning of a new stage in the Kazakh history, which implies a generalization of the activities of the power system and its nature from the point of view of modern realities.

At the present stage of development of the criminal procedural legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan, many legal institutions that have a long history of doctrinal development have received normative consolidation. Among them is the institution of participants leading the criminal process at the stage of pre-trial investigation. In the history of Uzbekistan, the activities of these subjects of the criminal process were regulated by numerous normative legal acts, including codified ones. The first Criminal Procedure Code of the Uzbek SSR was adopted in 1926. Soon the Uzbek SSR Criminal Procedure Code of 1929 entered into force. In comparative legal terms, the latter was significantly inferior to the previous one in terms of the degree of detail in the regulation of criminal procedural relations with the participation of pre-trial investigation bodies. Analysis of the content of the legal norms of the Criminal Procedure Code of 1929, regulating the activities of these bodies, allows us to identify features that, from the standpoint of the modern vision of the optimal model of the Criminal Procedure Code of Uzbekistan, are assessed as shortcomings in the legal regulation of the relevant public relations. As such, we can name the following: the CPC does not contain norms defining the sources of criminal procedural law; the code does not provide for a separate chapter devoted exclusively to investigative actions, a detailed description of their procedural form; there is no clear delineation of the competence of the bodies of inquiry and the investigator; the investigator is by law entrusted with supervisory functions that are not characteristic of him in relation to the bodies of inquiry; the Criminal Procedure Code does not include a norm prohibiting persons conducting a preliminary investigation from obtaining evidence by violence, threats, etc.; The Criminal Procedure Code determined the existence of sufficient data, and not evidence, as the basis for the accusation. After being charged, the person acquired the status of a defendant, not an accused; the application of preventive measures, including detention, was carried out by the investigator independently, without the sanction of the prosecutor, which testified to the absence of guarantees of the observance of the right to personal inviolability.

The issue of the development of criminal procedural law is an extremely broad and complex consideration, one that is difficult to cover in one study. In this paper, the author will deal with the development of criminal procedural legislation of the Republic of Serbia by 2011 in the first part. The current Criminal Procedure Code, with its most recent amendments from 2019, is still based precisely on the mentioned Code. The systematic presentation of the development of criminal procedural legislation in the Republic of Serbia has been burdened with both numerous changes in legislative sources and changes in the broader social context. The issue of state frameworks and the validity of the law, therefore, often requires a review of the broader territorial framework and an understanding of this social dynamic. If one considers the period of formation of the Kingdom of Serbs Croats and Slovenes in 1918, the basic feature of criminal procedural law implied the particular interests of individual states and separate procedural arrangements. Following the above, which is in a way an introductory part, the paper will address the most important changes to the current Criminal Procedure Code in relation to the 2011 Criminal Procedure Code. After the Criminal Procedure Code of 2001 was repealed, the new Criminal Procedure Code of 2011 came into force, which regulates several issues in a whole new way. Finally, special attention will be paid to the inconsistency of the Criminal Procedure Code of 2011 with the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia.

The writing of this scientific work is motivated by the difficulty of legal institutions such as the court in carrying out the verification of criminal cases related to Electronic Data. Evidence is fundamental in every criminal case. Therefore, evidence becomes a very decisive thing whether or not a person is convicted. However, the Criminal Procedure Code as a formal law in Indonesia, has not regulated electronic evidence as a legal evidence. The research method used is normative research using a statutory and analytical approach, while data collection through literature studies and interviews and qualitative descriptive data analysis. The results of the study indicate that proof of the ITE Law is lex specialis, because the ITE Law regulates everything that is more specific in the evidentiary law contained in the Criminal Procedure Code. The legal proof of electronic aspect as a legitimate evidence in the case of money laundering is regulated in Article 73 and with the enactment of the ITE Law, it is increasingly emphasized that electronic documentary evidence is a legitimate and recognized evidence in Indonesian procedural law. Penulisan karya ilmiah ini dilatar belakangi oleh sulitnya lembaga hukum seperti pengadilan dalam hal melaksanakan pembuktian perkara pidana yang berhubungan dengan Data Elektronik. Bukti merupakan hal mendasar dalam setiap perkara pidana. Oleh karena itu, alat bukti menjadi hal yang sangat menentukan dapat tidaknya seseorang dipidana. Namun, Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Acara Pidana sebagai hukum formil di Indonesia, belum mengatur mengenai alat bukti elektronik sebagai alat bukti yang sah. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian normatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan analitis, sedangkan pengumpulan data melalui studi pustaka dan wawancara serta analisis data secara deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa pembuktian pada UU ITE bersifat lex specialis, dikarenakan UU ITE mengatur segala sesuatu yang lebih spesifik dalam hukum pembuktian yang terdapat di dalam KUHAP. Aspek hukum pembuktian elektronik sebagai alat bukti yang sah dalam kasus tindak pidana pencucian uang diatur dalam Pasal 73 dan dengan diberlakukannya UU ITE semakin dipertegas bahwa alat bukti dokumen elektronik merupakan alat bukti yang sah dan diakui dalam hukum acara Indonesia.

The transmission of Covid-19 in the People's Republic of China (PRC) occurred in 2019 and caused the death of Chinese citizens. By early 2020, the spread had spread to every country, including Indonesia. The wide spread of Covid-19 throughout Indonesia has resulted in the government declaring a health emergency and implementing a lockdown policy by limiting activities that trigger the massive spread of the Covid-19 virus. Activities that were initially carried out offline must be carried out online, and one of these activities is court proceedings.

Another problem is the Regulation of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia No. 4 of 2020 concerning the Administration and Trial of Criminal Cases in Courts Electronically which is contrary to the principles of Courts Open to the Public and Quick Trials.

The presence of witnesses in the evidence is the keyword in disclosing the facts of criminal cases. The crown witness is often present at court. However, there are many differences of opinion in the Jurisprudence regarding the use of crown witnesses in court because there is no legal regulation that explicitly regulates the use of crown witnesses in criminal justice. Based on these problems, this study described how the protection of the rights of defendants as crown witnesses in criminal acts of theft with violence and how the position of crown witnesses in criminal acts of theft with violence. This research was designed using a normative legal research method and a conceptual approach. In the Criminal Procedure Code, there is no prohibition for a defendant to provide information for other defendants as far as using a splitsing system so that defendants who are crown witnesses still receive legal protection. The decision of the Supreme Court Number 1942 K / PID / 2012 which in its verification process used a crown witness. In this case, the public prosecutor presented the crown witness due to the lack of evidence especially witness testimony evidence. The role of the crown witness is very important to uncover criminal events because the defendant knows, sees, and commits criminal theft with violence. The result of this study showed that the protection of the rights of the defendant as a crown witness is equated with the rights of the defendant in general, which is regulated in Article 50 to Article 68 of the Criminal Procedure Code and witness rights set out in Article 5 of Law Number 31 of 2014. The position of the crown witness is justified in proof-based on the Circular Attorney General's Office of the Republic of Indonesia Number B-69 / E / 02/1997 of 1997 concerning Proof Law in Criminal Cases.
