there is still no comprehensive study on the theoretical foundation and practice of using social

| The gradation of quality of criminal procedural decisions: theory and practice | Author : ?lynska N. | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The article is devoted to the problem of the quality of criminal procedural decisions (?PD).
Depending on the degree, that CPD fulfill with the corresponding normative prescriptions (high
quality standards) it should be allocated to such level of quality CPR: good-quality; sufficiently high
quality; satisfactory quality; partly poor quality; quite poor quality.
The fairness seems as more correct criterion of substantial violations made while making the
final CPD. The fairness is complex estimated concept that integrates the overall meaningful quality
of CPD. This requires a balanced approach to the estimating of committed violations from the angle
of their possible impact on the overall fairness of the final decision on the case (method «fairness of
the proceeding taken as a whole»).
Estimating of CPD quality by certain procedural participators on different stages and choosing
appropriate responses in case of any quality defects should be given from the angle their harmful
for the rights and legitimate interests of the trial participators and the other tasks of the criminal
proceedings.
Violations of corresponding normative prescriptions are significant in a case of making certain
harm or a threat of harm for the rights and legitimate interests of participators, including due legal
procedure, other tasks of the proceedings, particularly an effective investigation or trial. Enough
flexible is minimum limit of CPD fulfill with the corresponding illegal standards, without which it is
impossible to admit due legal quality of the act. It is noted that current criminal procedural legislation
does not provide exhaustive criteria for the implementation of the CPD check perfect in terms of its
legal definition quality, the latter should be the subject of further research of science. |

| The objective, factual and procedural grounds of simultaneous interrogation of two or more persons are questioned need clarification | Author : Kotiuk O. | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :On the basis of differentiation categories «goal» and «objective» proposed revised approaches to the definition
of objectives, tasks and factual and procedural grounds simultaneous interrogation of two or more persons
are interrogated and made proposals for amendments according to the Code of Criminal Procedure of Ukraine.
In particular, drawn attention to the fact that a mixed approach to the definition of the aforementioned
concepts are caused primarily traditional identification in the legal literature general categories
of «goal» and «objective», which leads to the fact that instead of goal investigative action defined
it’s task, or one of them. However, as you know, the goal is always ahead imaginary end result of
specific activities and objectives, that is what should be done to achieve this goal. Not accidentally
tasks solved during any investigative action usually few and they can be both procedural and tactical
sense. This approach also makes it possible to distinguish between strategy and tactics of specific
activities, which in this case is the simultaneous interrogation of two or more persons are interrogated.
On the other hand, the definition of the purpose of investigative action and directs it to determine the actual
reason. But as scientists and practitioners need a clear definition and demarcation of actual and procedural
grounds as this and other investigative actions usually do not pay enough attention, which could cause
questions about their legitimacy. In view of this author proposed to determine the actual reason simultaneous
interrogation of two or more persons are interrogated and lists of it’s procedural grounds. It is noted that the
investigator, the prosecutor has the right to conduct a simultaneous examination of two or more persons are
interrogated in indications where there are significant differences regarding the circumstances that are the
subject of proof to establish additional evidence regarding the true course of these circumstances. |
| Using provocations during covert investigations: questions of the legality | Author : Pogoretskyi M | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The article deals with issues legality of using the provocation during covert investigations of domestic and foreign law enforcement agencies. In historical retrospective examines the genesis of the
concept and essence of provocation, criminal liability for the commission of the criminal legislation of
Ukraine. It is concluded that provocation is using since ancient times in political and military afairs.
However, scientifc development of provocation as a crime, appropriateness and legality of its using
in combating crime most productive began only in the middle of the XIX century. At frst the questions
about the legality of using the provocation during covert investigations were fxed in departmental
normative legal acts of the police and gendarmerie, which is strictly forbidden to use it to incite people
to commit crimes. In the early days of Soviet power provocation`s methods widely used in operative,
investigative and counterintelligence activities. In the frsts criminal codes of most union republics
criminal responsibility for provocation was assigned, but later it was canceled.
An important infuence on the development of national legislation and enforcement activities to
use provocations during covert investigations of law enforcement has the practice of the European
Court of Human Rights. ECHR clearly delineates the limits which is permitted during the law enforcement agencies covert investigation. Taking this into account during the preparation and conduct of
control measures for crimes it`s prohibited provoke (incite) the person to commit the crime with the
purpose of further exposure by helping the person to commit the crime, she or he would have never
done, no matter how quick operative worker or investigator is not helped. Obtained in this way documents and things can not be used in criminal proceedings |
| Correlation between pre-trailinvestigation and operative and search activities | Author : Tsehan D. | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :An article analyzes the correlation between pre-trial investigation and operative and search activities
in a new paradigm of criminal prosecution. In particular, attention is drawn to the fact that
the practical implementation of the investigative units of the institute of secret investigative (search)
actions have led to fundamental transformation in the work of investigators. It was determined that
the legislative changes have led to the development of scientific debates about the place and role of
operative and search activities during pre-trial investigation. Special attention is paid to the shortcomings
of legal regulation and lack of statutory limits upon completion of operative and search activities.
The article analyzes some norms of the legislation, a literal interpretation of which suggests that
the beginning of pre-trial investigation is not a legal basis for the cessation of operative and search
activities. Implementation of it is possible after the start of pre-trial investigation. As well, attention
is drawn to the fact that, in accordance with the norms of the normative legal acts, which detail the
legislation, the powers of the employees of operational units during the pre-trial investigation is much
wider than it is enshrined in the procedural legislation. The necessity of depriving the investigator
of the authority for the establishment of a confidential cooperation with citizens in the framework of
pre-trial investigation is proved.
It was noted the need to expand the statutory powers of operational units during the pre-trial
investigation, including during the execution of the instructions of the investigator to conduct secret
investigative (search) actions. Possible models for the further development of operative and search
legislation and for the implementation of some of its provisions into the structure of the procedural
law are defined. |

proceedings. The author examines the factors that abuse reasonable term such as the returning
of the guilty act to the prosecutor, the deposition of the preparatory court session by the judge and

| Prospects for improving law enforcement agencies searching practice of fugitives hiding from pre-trial investigation and court. | Author : Lysenko O. | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :According to the practice of law enforcement agencies there are a significant number of fugitives
that had never been found by the police. One of the reasons for that is a low efficiency of law enforcement
agencies. The paper analyzes reasons and ways of solving this problem.
Nowadays investigators see the search of fugitives hiding from pre-trial investigation and court
as their secondary activity, which is usually caused by two factors: a heavy workload and poor management.
Analysis of the law enforcement practice indicates that after a suspect is added to a wanted
list all criminal proceedings «stop», the actions of an investigator, in most cases, are limited to
drawing up to instructions to the operational units which, according to the investigator should do all
the work. O. Kerevych says that usually an investigator gives ineffective orders to the operational unit
which answers with a formal reply without any enthusiasm to actually find a fugitive and solve a crime.
Adding to that, there is also a problem of a poor information exchange between all law enforcement
agencies on a local, nationwide and international level.
In 90% of cases of finding fugitives investigators do not carry out special measures to get an additional
information about the wanted person (while they are able use investigative actions, requests
for information from companies, institutions, organizations, individuals, information analysis of social
networks, analysis of information resources of law enforcement, etc.).The author believes that legislation
can deal with problems indicated above, and offers the necessary changes to the Code of
Criminal Procedure of Ukraine. |
| Forms, types and means of interaction tactical investigator in the criminal proceedings | Author : Malyuga V. | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Current issues of investigation of separate kinds of crimes are a question about forms, types and
tools of interaction of the investigator in criminal proceedings. The interaction of different actors in the field of combating crime generally and in criminal proceedings in particular, is carried out in the relevant
forms. These forms are modes of cooperation, ensuring coherence of activities, specific means
of communication between the interacting entities, the complex of methods and techniques, a system
of connections and relations of the interacting entities, the systems subject methods, methods of
performing professional functions in the implementation of its powers during pre-trial investigation.
The identification, study and analysis of forms of interaction of the investigator with relevant actors
in criminal proceedings is not only of theoretical but also of practical importance, since knowledge of
its typology allows you to find the most effective way an individual interaction (interaction) in specific
conditions, for specific subjects, the performance of specific tasks at different hierarchical levels of
the system, and the like. So, legal (procedural) form has the following specific form of interaction of
the investigator with relevant actors in criminal proceedings, primarily with operational units and other
investigators: a) the transfer of the investigator’s materials and identified by operative-search actions
the crime to solve the issue of opening of criminal proceedings; b) undertaking by the investigator of
the procedural actions at the same time the implementation of the operational divisions coordinated

| Guarantees of protection of property rights in case of the imposition of arrest on property in criminal proceedings | Author : Symonenko Z. | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The article investigates legal backgrounds of the protection of property rights in the seized property
in criminal proceedings. The author argues that on practice often meets the cases of different
interpretation of common legal rules for the imposition of arrest on property which creates different
application of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine. Special attention is paid to guarantees of
protection of property rights in case of the imposition of arrest on property in criminal proceedings
according to new amendments of the Criminal Procedure Code which were adopted by the Parliament
of Ukraine.
The author stresses that the government determines and guarantees the inviolability of property
rights in the criminal process but sometimes. Moreover, in the article is underlined that despite the
constant amendments to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, statistical information
indicates that up to now there are procedural defects of legal definition and understanding
seizure procedures, which in practice makes it difficult to use and full regulatory support and guaranteeing
property rights. |
| Criminal procedural guarantees of the defender as a subject of proving at carrying covert investigation (search) action. | Author : Starenkyi O. | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :On the basis of the analysis of the current provisions of the criminal procedure law of Ukraine
material practices and surveys of practical workers, author of the article considers the problematic
issues of realization the criminal procedural guarantees of the defender as a subject of proving at
carrying covert investigation (search) action. It is noted that the decision conduct of the secret investigation
(search) actions should take no investigator or prosecutor. This obligation should be entrusted
to investigating judge.
Substantiated that declassify be only those materials that have been received on the results of
the secret investigation (search) actions (minutes of the secret investigation (search) actions and the
relevant their annexes), while the decision on which conducted of the secret investigation (search)
actions (resolution investigator, prosecutor of the secret investigation (search) actions, decision investigating
judge for permission of the secret investigation (search) actions) are not subject to declassify.
It should be noted that the existence of this legislative gap leads to the fact that the defenders
denied the opportunity verify and assess the legality and validity of the secret investigation (search)
actions, the legitimacy of limiting the rights and freedoms of their clients during of the secret investigation
(search) actions and protocols of the secret investigation (search) actions – as admissible and
proper evidences in pre-trial investigation. |

obligation taken the state and is incompatible with the proper level of legal development. National strategy
in the field of human rights foresees creation of the effective system of defense of right on freedom
and bodily security. Bringing to conformity of procedure of detention and holding of person under a
guard with international standards, strengthening of efficiency of judicial control must become investigation
of it after the grounds of imprisonment; establishment of level of defense of rights for personality,
detained for a feasance administrative offence, more not low, than it is foreseen in criminal judicial.
Consequently the article is sanctified to International by the standards of providing of human
rights in the field of criminal procedure, that is subject to application during realization of function of
judicial control. Such standards are general principles and practice their providing set by Convention
on the protection of human rights and basic freedoms 1950 year, and also made decision on her basis

judicial guarantee of providing on the pre-trial stages of criminal production of rights, freedoms and
interests of persons that is suspected or accused of feasance of criminal offence. Author analyzed
the Article 5 Convention that envisages a right on freedom and bodily security. During the limit of right
on freedom and bodily security come forward the standards of observance of rights and freedoms of
man: legality of imprisonment; validity (presence of the grounded suspicion and risks of illegal judicial
conduct); knowledge is about the grounds of imprisonment; a right is on a judicial trial in order of control
function of court; a right is on a compensation as a result of unlegality of imprisonment. In particular,
a concept to «legality» acquires in practice the European ?ourt of Human Rights. A national law

| The legal regulation of the leading questions at the interrogation on pre-trial investigation. | Author : Shingarov D. | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The article is devoted to the actual problem of practice and theory of criminal proceedings – the
possibility to ask the leading questions at the interrogation on pre-trial investigation. The leading
questions are the type of questions, that contains the answer, a part of the answer or a hint to the
answer. Based on the analysis of scientific works of Ukrainian and foreign scientists, previous legislation
of Ukraine and the legislation of foreign states, as Lithuania, Georgia, Moldova, Kazakhstan,
Russian Federation, Belarus, the author makes a conclusion, that exclusion of prohibition to ask the
leading questions at the interrogation on pre-trial investigation in CPC of Ukraine 2012 year was
unjustified. Comparison of scientific positions can lead to the conclusion that such type of questions
always considered as inadmissible and amoral. There are not any explanations, why such necessary
rule of previous legislation and opinions of scientists were ignored. That is why, in the current criminal
procedure legislation, the exclusion of the prohibition to ask the leading questions at the interrogation
on pre-trial investigation should be understood as a legal omission. Unfortunately, this legal omission
can lead to the probability of rights violations at the interrogation. That is why the author gives proposition
to the CPC of Ukraine which forbid to ask the leading questions at the interrogation on pre-trial
investigation. Also the author gives a recommendation to use method of historical interpretation at
interrogation. According to this method, officials of law-enforcement bodies should clarify the meaning
of the legal rule according to the social conditions and history of its appearing in the legislation.
This recommendation can help to prevent asking of leading questions according to current CPC of
Ukraine |
