On Optimization of Protection of the Rights and Guarantee of the Legal Interests of the Victige in Criminal Proceedings

Abstract

Being one of the key private parties in criminal proceedings, the victim does not have sufficient procedural independence: the exercise of his rights is conditioned by the will of other persons with authority, and his procedural status requires additional legislative regulation. The objectives of the study are to determine the features of the legal model that determines the procedural and legal status of the victim in the conditions of modern criminal proceedings. Conclusions are drawn about the need to concretize and ensure the proper implementation of the independent procedural interests of the victim. Proposals are formulated to improve the procedural status of the victim. The research was carried out on the basis of the analysis of fundamental and controversial provisions of criminal procedural law, legal regulators of criminal procedural legal relations, methods of dialectical cognition, general scientific and private scientific methods were used. The author substantiates the need for proper formalization of the procedural function of the victim and granting him rights that allow for its unhindered implementation.
