Abstract

This article aims to highlight and clarify the role of the psychologist and the main functions during the interrogation of minors. The task of the work is to bring out the expediency of the specialist who should be present during the interrogation of minors as a result of theoretical analysis, which will ensure the efficiency of the work done, supporting justice, as it will not harm the juvenile. The paper presents analyzes of the views of a number of authors related to the role and activities of the psychologist during the juvenile interrogation, as well as the psychologist's involvement and the foreign experience of the juvenile interrogation. Synthesis, induction and analysis were used as a theoretical research method. Thus, the theoretical analyzes performed in the work show that some authors identify the professions of pedagogue and psychologist, while other authors prefer a specialist who has knowledge in different areas of psychology. The study of Western and Russian experience shows the importance of involving a psychologist, first of all, in order to avoid revictimization of a minor. Based on the forthcoming legislative changes, where the involvement of a psychologist in interrogations involving minors will be mandatory, the implementation of theoretical and research work necessary to clarify the role and functions of the psychologist will further clarify the role and functions of the psychologist, who will use it to solve problems.
