On the question of the importance of trust in criminal procedure regulation

Abstract

The article is devoted to the phenomenon of trust in criminal proceedings. By analyzing the criminal procedure form and its current state, the authors conclude that the problems inherent in it at the present stage in the form of increasing transformation, formalization, overload of rules, conditions and grounds can be overcome by referring to the genetic Russian code, which is based on ethical and moral values, a worthy place among which is occupied by trust. The paper reveals the essence of two areas of trust: vertical trust as an indicator of the legitimacy of government and state institutions and emphasizes that currently the court and the police are institutions with a negative level of trust in Russian society. In relation to horizontal trust as trust in another subject, participant in public relations or to an object, the work analyzes coercive measures, the admissibility of evidence, challenges, as well as the institution of representation.
