PROBLEMS OF APPLICATION OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE RULES ON THE PARTICIPATION OF A SPECIALIST IN PROCEDURAL ACTIONS DURING THE PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION

Abstract

The article examines the complex problems of the participation of a specialist in the production of procedural actions during the preliminary investigation. Conclusions are drawn about the need for a clear distinction between the functions of a specialist and an expert in the process of involving them in investigative actions, about the independence of a specialist in criminal proceedings. The authors also consider it necessary to classify such participants in the criminal process as a teacher and a psychologist as specialists. It is noted that the criminal procedure legislation does not require a detailed differentiation of the functions of a specialist, since, depending on the type of investigative action, the assistance of a specialist can be of a diverse nature. In various investigative actions and at their various stages, it can be of a consulting nature or the nature of performing physical actions that require special knowledge, skills and abilities.
