The article discusses the issues of further modeling of the criminal policy of combating crime in the field of human trafficking. In this regard, the issues of the constituent elements in the structure of the anti-criminal state mechanism are considered. Particular emphasis is placed on the relationship between criminal and criminological policy. The author, having analyzed the research in this area, distinguishes two groups of diametrically opposite points of view of scientists: one group of opinions is the idea that criminal policy is part of the criminological one, the other point of view is the opposite. The author of this work is of the opinion about the need for further integration and interaction between various fields of knowledge, including such areas as criminology of law and criminology of criminal law (law). Based on the fundamental concepts of a number of scientists, the author of the publication presents the structure of criminological legislation in the field of combating crime related to human trafficking, and also once again draws attention to the criminogenic gap expressed in the absence of a basic anti-trafficking law. Conclusions. In accordance with the author's approach, the international and national policy, consisting of criminal law, criminal procedural, criminal executive, operational-search and forensic subsystems, should be included in the number of subsystems of the policy of combating crime related to trafficking in persons. The need for a clear reflection in the official terminological turnover within the framework of the integral conceptual and categorical apparatus of the draft Concept or the national draft of the legal policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan is noted.","PeriodicalId":446864,"journal":{"name":"Gaps in Russian Legislation","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126834834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conclusions. The article deals with the requirements for the competence in the field of forensic medicine of various subjects of legal proceedings. Expert consciousness (as an integral system of expert thinking, expert knowledge, expert intuition, etc.) is attributed to the special competence of medical persons professionally knowledgeable in the field of forensic medicine. The lawyers participating in the proceedings are assigned an integrating and coordinating role, which requires general competence in forensic medicine, in particular, awareness of the modern possibilities of forensic medical examination and other forms of procedural and non-procedural application of forensic medical knowledge. The specified differentiated approach to the scope of competences of various subjects of the legal process does not imply any consolidation, interchangeability, but directly stipulates the need for goal-setting cooperation within the framework of a strict separation of the procedural roles assigned to these subjects, the integrity of the system of expert consciousness with the separation from it of the minimum necessary elements of forensic medicine knowledge sufficient to implement the procedural role of the investigator and other procedural ones. The consequences of the gaps are predictably negative in the education of lawyers, in particular, investigators, prosecutors, advocates and judges, caused by the absence of the discipline “Forensic medicine” in the basic (compulsory) part of the federal state standard of higher professional education in the field of “Jurisprudence”. The formation of an effective model of cooperation seems to be of current interest between subjects of legal proceedings with considering the establishment of differentiated requirements for the volume and content of forensic medical competencies. The complex structure of forensic competences, qualification requirements for forensic medical experts, the peculiarities of the education of medical specialists - should be taken into account by the subjects of the investigation, the court when involving forensic experts and other doctors to participate in the proceedings. It is necessary to change the wording of Art. 178 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation: «with the participation of a forensic medical expert, and if one’s participation is impossible, - for a doctor» to the wording: «with the participation of a forensic medical expert, and if his participation is impossible, - for another doctor».","PeriodicalId":446864,"journal":{"name":"Gaps in Russian Legislation","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127904491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper notes that the study obtained specific results related to the study of the features of the formation and optimization of the conceptual and categorical apparatus of the system of crimes related to human trafficking at the international and national levels; ideas, initiatives, proposals, and key results were developed in terms of modeling the policy of countering crimes related to human trafficking and their implementation in scientific and methodological, practical activities of human rights, law enforcement, and international organizations. Results. Within the framework of the study, the authors conclude that the main reasons for the origin of cases of human trafficking in the Republic of Kazakhstan are poverty, limited economic opportunities for access to effective employment, education, a significant difference in the level of economic development between countries and regions within the country, the crisis of the family, family values, domestic violence, the growth of dysfunctional families, general gender inequality, alcoholism, social orphanhood, and peculiarities of mentality.

Both of these measures are forms of isolation from society of suspects, accused persons, and defendants in criminal proceedings. Thus, detention as a preventive measure, as a general rule, is applied by a court decision against a suspect or accused of committing crimes for which the criminal law provides for a penalty of imprisonment for a term of more than three years, if it is impossible to apply another, more lenient, preventive measure. When choosing a preventive measure in the form of detention, the judge's decision must specify the specific, factual circumstances on the basis of which the judge made such a decision. Such circumstances may not be data that has not been verified during the court session, in particular the results of operational search activities, submitted in violation of the requirements of Article 89 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation. At the same time, house arrest, along with detention, is classified as a preventive measure that restricts freedom. These measures are identical in terms of preventing consequences. However, this circumstance is often not taken into account by the court. This conclusion is supported by statistics showing a low level of use of home arrest. The article examines the evolution of the legal regulation and application of detention and home arrest. The conclusion is made about the historical continuity of both positive and negative experiences. In particular, the use of detention as a means of influence to obtain \"necessary evidence\", a punitive measure, which does not follow from its essence, is traced. Unfortunately, this practice still exists today, as confirmed by the examples given in the article. The article examines the conceptual aspects of the use of detention and home arrest as an alternative to isolation from society. Proposals for amendments to the criminal procedure legislation aimed at minimizing abuses in the appointment and execution of procedural preventive measures in the form of detention and home arrest are formulated and justified.","PeriodicalId":446864,"journal":{"name":"Gaps in Russian Legislation","volume":"174 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133772574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
