SOME ISSUES OF PROTECTING THE RIGHTS AND LEGAL INTERESTS OF CRIME VICTIMS

Abstract

The article is devoted to some issues of protection of the rights of victims of crimes in criminal proceedings. The New Criminal Procedure Code provides for a number of innovations in relation to the legal status of private participants in criminal proceedings, in particular, persons who have suffered from a crime, which are important for the effective implementation of the rights and legal interests of the specified subject.

In the new Criminal Procedure Code, special attention is paid to the regulation of the legal status of a person who has suffered from a crime, which logically follows from the tasks of the criminal process, that is, to ensuring the protection of the rights of victims of a crime. . In the legal literature for many years, there is no single approach to the concept of the victim, which indicates the problematic nature of regulating the legal status of the subject of litigation in the legislation. It should be noted that the definitions of the concept of "victim" or "victim" both in material and procedural legislation are quite close, just from a material and legal point of view, a person acquires the status of a victim from the moment a criminal offense is committed against him, regardless of whether he is recognized as a victim. or not. From the judicial point of view, the term "victim" characterizes not only the fact of causing harm by a criminal act, but also the decision to recognize the victim.
