Optimization of the procedure criminal proceedings in order to ensure sustainability and stability economic relations

The scale of the problem of the criminal procedure mechanism for ensuring the rights of entrepreneurs is very extensive. It goes beyond the scope of one area of legal regulation and the whole complex of problems as a whole can be solved only by conducting a major interdisciplinary study, in which issues of not only criminal procedure, but also criminal, civil, and civil procedural nature will be considered and resolved.

In this article we present the results of studying some criminal procedural aspects that seem to be of fundamental importance for building a vector of modern criminal procedural regulation in relation to entrepreneurs involved in criminal proceedings. The main aspect is the appropriateness and possible directions of differentiation of the procedural form on such a basis as engaging in entrepreneurial activity. In the applied aspect, we will try to reflect these factors by the example of the application of a preventive measure to entrepreneurs.

The purpose of this study is to optimize the procedural rules for the participation of entrepreneurs in criminal proceedings in general and in the case of the application of preventive measures to them.

The objectives of the study were: to study the existing procedural forms used in involving entrepreneurs in criminal proceedings, to identify their "weak" points on the example of the use of detention, to evaluate them from the point of view of effectiveness, the criteria of which we consider the reliability of protecting the personal interests of a citizen, protecting his property rights, ensuring his legitimate interests as a person engaged in entrepreneurial activity.

The study used a set of traditional scientific methods, including the universal method of dialectical unity and contradiction, general scientific theoretical and empirical methods (analysis, including content analysis of documents, generalization, hypotheses, systematization, description, system-functional) as well as private scientific methods (comparative legal and formal legal).

The results of the conducted research are the author's approach to the criminal procedural regulation of relations with the participation of applicants, which differs in main features from the one chosen by the employer; identification of a set of the most important problems concerning the criminal procedural form of the use of detention.
