Genesis of the institute for the compensation of detriment caused by crime Genesis of the institute for the compensation of detriment caused by crime

Abstract

The authors analyze the historical prerequisites for the consolidation of legal provisions governing the conceptual foundations of the legal institution of compensation for detriment caused by crime in Russian legislation. While positively assessing the current regulation of the issues of compensation for detriment caused crime in the current Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation), the authors propose to supplement the norms of the criminal procedure law with the concept of “detriment caused by crime”. In conclusion, the authors formulated the elemental composition of the legal institution of compensation for detriment caused by crime, which includes the object, subjects, procedural order of compensation for detriment, procedural and judicial control, as well as prosecutor's supervision over the activities of the head of the investigative body, head of the inquiry body, head of the inquiry unit, the investigator and the inquiry officer to ensure compensation for detriment caused by criminal offense.
