PROBLEMS OF THE FUNCTIONING OF CERTAIN INSTITUTIONS OF CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS

On June 1, 2017, a roundtable meeting “Theoretical and Practical Problems of the Functioning of Individual Institutions of Criminal Proceedings” was held at the Odessa State University of Internal Affairs with the participation of members of the All-Ukrainian Association of Scientists and Specialists in the Field of Operational and Investigative Activities.

Scientists, associate professors (postgraduate students), masters, practical law enforcement officers, and employees of the education system who are conducting scientific research in their field of work or are interested in the topic of the event were invited to participate.

It should be noted that the legislator’s positive efforts to introduce international legal standards into the field of criminal justice simultaneously encounter today’s realities: imperfection of legislation, organizational problems, namely: interaction between various subjects of criminal proceedings, etc.

Therefore, for the effective protection of the individual, society and the state from criminal offenses, a number of provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine require a balanced interpretation, the formation of a common understanding and, if necessary, improvement.

Thus, for more effective law enforcement activities, it was proposed to conduct a comprehensive study of the problems:

Regulatory regulation:

— the procedure for serving a person with a notice of suspicion;

— the detention of a person without a decision of the investigating judge;

— conducting operational and investigative activities for crimes for which criminal proceedings are suspended;

— the terms for conducting assigned examinations.

2. Powers of criminal police officers in the investigation of criminal offenses.

Organization of interaction between pre-trial investigation bodies and operational units regarding the conduct of covert investigative (search) actions within the framework of criminal proceedings.

3. Interaction of pre-trial investigation bodies with other bodies and units of the National Police of Ukraine in the prevention, detection and investigation of crimes.
4. Based on the results of the roundtable, priority aspects of the discussed problem and ways to solve them scientifically were identified.
