CONCEPT AND ESSENCE OF APPLICATION OF COMPULSORY MEASURES OF MEDICAL CHARACTER

Abstract

Over the recent years in our country were adopted a number of legislation directed to reliable protection of rights and freedoms of persons, to application of the best foreign practice and international standards in this field. At the same time, it shows that there exists some gaps in terms of clear identification of authorities of bodies on protection of rights on investigation of criminal cases in legislation, as well as in complete operation of mechanisms for ensuring the guarantees on preservation of rights and freedoms of persons in the process of crime based on the results of studies of citizen’ appeals and analyses of the court and investigation practice. Due to the fact that in conduction of crime the criminal dangerous acts are not always committed by the persons in the state of sanity, therefore in the practice we may come across with criminal cases which are related to application of compulsory measures of medical character. In such cases, the issue of compulsory rehabilitation of persons shall be in the first place.
