Abstract
Subject. Legal regulation of the implementation of state coercive measures at the “pre penal”, “penal”, and “post-penal” stages of the criminal justice system's activities. The purpose of this article is to analyze systemic deficiencies in the legal regulation of implementing preventive measures, criminal liability, and post-penal (post-punitive) control, which are among the main prerequisites for forming an "integrative" criminal executive law with expanded regulatory boundaries.
The methodology. Formal-legal, comparative-legal, historical-legal, and systemic methods were used.
The main results and conclusions. The author analyzes systemic shortcomings in the current legislation governing the enforcement of various types of state coercive measures differing in their legal nature at different stages of the criminal justice system’s operations. These include gaps, conflicts, and other legislative technical flaws, insufficient legal protection for suspects, defendants, and convicts, inadequate legal foundations for monitoring compliance with their rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, and insufficient continuity between the stages of criminal justice activities. Many of these issues should be resolved by a new codification of penal law with extended regulatory boundaries. The anticipated benefits of such codification include improved qualitative consistency and effectiveness of legal tools for combating crime, increased number and greater legal force of guarantees for participants in relevant relationships when applying the most severe coercive measures to maintain public order against criminal offenses, enhanced ease of application due to reduced numbers and content of sources of penal law regulations, improved clarity and accessibility of legislation, shorter timeframes to achieve a certain level of evolution in the penal system, and ensuring a balance between societal and governmental interests and needs.
