A conceptual approach to the construction of criminal proceedings that provide access to justice in the context of digital technologies development

Abstract

The article analyzes the current problems of access to justice in the criminal proceedings of Russia, and claims that the state is not properly fulfilling this constitutional duty. Pre-trial proceedings are considered to be inefficient, unbalanced, and "red tape" proceedings that do not provide adequate access to justice. Attention is drawn to the lack of a logically holistic, conceptual approach to the development and improvement of the initial stage of criminal proceedings, the fragmented and inconsistent nature of legislative changes, and the locality of scientific discussions that are not United by a single conceptual approach. The article describes the conceptual approach developed by the research team to the construction of criminal proceedings that provides access to justice in criminal proceedings in the context of the development of digital technologies.
