Abstract
The safety of witnesses, victims and other participants in the criminal process correlates with increasing effectiveness of evidence and protection of the rights and legitimate interests of the participants. To study the laws of development and establishment of the institution of personal security, it is relevant to identify new vectors for the development of criminal proceedings and eliminate existing intersectoral contradictions. It is also essential to compare respective Russian legal acts with the international standards.
The main issue of criminal proceedings correlates with proving person guilty or innocent of in the incriminated event. is complex process is diverse and unpredictable, since the collection of sufficient evidence for a criminal case (Article 73 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation) can be hindered by an unlawful act preventing crimes’ detection, impeding the investigation and the offender’sevasion from criminal punishment. By providing substantial evidence, the parties to criminal proceedings face risks a priori. For these reasons, ensuring the security of an individual in criminal proceedings correlates with its purpose, principles and tasks. It also implements the constitutional priorities and security of an individual (rights, freedoms and legitimate interests).
