The article deals with the issues of the modern concept, essence and features of the institute of investigative actions. The methodological basis of the study of the essence of the institute of investigative actions in the criminal process, the theory of modernization and liberalization of the judicial and legal system of the country, which form the basis for the reform of the entire regulatory framework in the Republic of Uzbekistan, is also considered. The conclusions and analysis of the issues under consideration are based on the empirical basis of the study, which includes the results of a sociological survey of 500 interrogators, investigators of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Prosecutor General’s Office, criminal judges and lawyers, as well as the analysis of materials from the study of 1000 criminal cases in the archive of the Tashkent City Criminal Court. In addition, the analysis of statistical data on crime records for ten years (2010-2021) was carried out. The article considers the concept of the institution “investigative action”, which today is given an ambiguous meaning from the point of view of criminal procedure law and the theory of criminalistics, and studies the classification of investigative actions. The article examines the dynamics of the development of the institute of investigative actions in criminal proceedings, issues related to the introduction of the term “urgent investigative actions” into the legislation and their list, as well as the problems of creating equal conditions for participants in the process when presenting evidence to the investigator in order to ensure competitiveness.
