Abstract

The legislator has determined that the purpose of criminal proceedings is to protect the rights and legitimate interests of persons and organizations who have suffered from crimes. Nevertheless, persons acting as victims and witnesses are not only able to exercise their rights properly, but they are also affected by criminals. The result of this is the case of refusal and evasion of victims and witnesses from participating in criminal proceedings. To prevent this state protection measures are applied to witnesses, victims and other participants in criminal proceedings. The protection, the definition of security, the identification of the reality of threats are debatable in the scientific literature. Individual scientists study the concepts of reasons and grounds for security measures. All these issues are closely related to ensuring the rights of participants in criminal proceedings and should be investigated comprehensively with a separate consideration of the interaction of the investigator with the investigative authority and the court while ensuring these measures. The existing problems affect the practice of applying security measures, which reduces the quality of criminal investigations. The article deals with the definition of the concept of the safety of participants in criminal proceedings. The analysis of security measures, their types is made.
