Improvement of the Procedure of Application of Compulsory Measures of Educational Impact

The article is devoted to the problem of improvement of the procedure of application of compulsory educational measures in criminal proceedings against minors. The lack of proper regulation of the procedure for the application of compulsory educational measures and the existing legislative gaps determine the need for amendments and additions to the criminal law and criminal procedure law. It is proposed to grant the right to resolve the issue of termination of criminal prosecution and initiation of a petition for the application of a coercive measure of educational impact before the court to the prosecutor dealing with the criminal case brought before him with conviction or indictment. In order to resolve the question of the possibility of rehabilitating a minor through the use of compulsory educational measures, it is necessary to study his psyche using the specialized knowledge, which presupposes an expert opinion in the case. Exemption from criminal liability of minors under the rules of Article 90 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation should be treated as the duty rather than the right of the law enforcement agent. Approaches to the solution of the problem connected with execution of compulsory measures of educational impact have been formulated.
