Security for a civil claim in criminal proceedings

Abstract

Currently, the criminal policy aims not only to convict the guilty party but also to guide them in the right direction to restore the rights of the victim. It also concerns the pre-investigation bodies and judges to take action to ensure the reparation of damage caused by the crime. The history of the development of civil action in criminal proceedings confirms its importance and the necessity to ensure its further development in the criminal procedure framework. However, to ensure the effective implementation of theoretical aspects of resolving a civil claim into the criminal proceedings practices, it is important to amend and complement the current legislation. According to the obtained results, the authors conclude that the victim, a civil party, or their representatives can gather evidence to confirm their claim through obtaining objects, documents, and other information; interviewing people with their consent; submitting a motion to the investigator on receiving certificates, references, and other documents from public authorities, local authorities, public associations, and other organizations.
