Proper regulation of the legal status of a participant in criminal procedural relations is a necessary element of the formation of legal thinking and legal awareness

Abstract

Citizens become participants in criminal procedural relations in connection with a committed crime, or in the course of checking information about a committed or impending socially dangerous act. The legal nature of relations developing in the plane of criminal proceedings is often associated with the restriction of the rights of its subjects. A serious problem is the lack of proper legislative regulation of the procedural statuses of individuals involved in the sphere of criminal procedural relations. The authors draw attention to the need to legally secure the rights and obligations of all persons who are participants in the criminal process, since this is an indispensable condition for the formation of the legal thinking of these subjects, awareness of the possibilities of using the granted rights and the consequences of default.
