Journal section JURISPRUDENCE
Modern juvenile technologies in the criminal process in Russia
The article deals with the implementation of international and domestic law in the
field of juvenile criminal justice as well as norms aimed at protecting the rights and legal
interests of juvenile victims. The concept of juvenile technologies is briefly analyzed, the
conclusion is made about the need to expand its content in terms of the coverage of the
interests of the minor victim. In the course of the study gaps in the regulatory framework
were identified, and some problems of law enforcement were highlighted. There are
analyzed the novels of the criminal procedure legislation of recent years. Emphasis is
placed on the need to prioritize the protection of juvenile victims and the humanization
of criminal procedural policies in relation to them. Among the most pressing issues are
questions about the procedural capacity of minors when applying for a crime, expanding
the categories of victims under the age of 18 who are eligible for legal assistance from the
federal budget. The issues of mediation in criminal cases involving minors are addressed.
The experience of individual subjects of the Russian Federation on the application
of specific juvenile technologies that are relatively new to the domestic legal system is
analyzed and summarized. Also on the basis of statistics of the Judicial Department at the
Supreme Court of the Russian Federation an assessment has been made of the use of
traditional measures applied to minors in the framework of criminal justice.
