Abstract

According to our national legislation, house arrest is considered a new legal institution compared to other criminal procedural precautionary measures. Taking this into account, in this article, the author provides a general description of criminal procedural precautionary measures, the concept of house arrest as a preventive measure; its legal elements and the scientific-theoretical aspects of its content are detailed through a comparative analysis of the opinions of foreign experts and local researchers. Also, the article describes the problems that have arisen in the practice of applying the law on the basis of foreign and national legislation and legal norms that determine the procedure for the appointment of house arrest, as well as conclusions and suggestions for their elimination. Although there are legal grounds for choosing a preventive measure in the form of detention during the preliminary investigation or trial against a person who has committed a crime or is suspected of committing it, from the point of view of humanity, taking into account his age, state of health, family situation and other circumstances, house arrest is used as a preventive measure only if it is deemed inappropriate to incarcerate him. However, if a person abuses the relief given to him without following the established order, a preventive measure in the form of imprisonment will be applied to him. Therefore, first of all, when choosing house arrest instead of detention as a preventive measure, the law enforcer should clearly distinguish the grounds for using detention as a preventive measure and the circumstances that are taken into account when choosing it.
