Abstract

The article analyzes modern approaches to the use of digital technologies and associated technical devices in domestic criminal proceedings, allowing not only to speed up and simplify work, but also to serve as an important factor in citizens' access to justice. According to the author, some results of digitalization have already been reflected in the text of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, creating favorable prerequisites for the electronic form of criminal cases, combining at the initial stage of reform in this area the traditional criminal procedure form with its electronic version. It is emphasized that the potential of digitalization in criminal proceedings is being realized in other areas: from video conferencing to billing technology, with the prospect of introducing new technologies: blockchain, artificial intelligence, electronic identification of a person, a digital profile of a person.
The purpose of this study is to substantiate the need to consolidate the concept of "digital technologies" in the basic Article 5 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, which will significantly change the appearance of criminal proceedings. Research objectives: to analyze the types of digital technologies used in the current version of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, to determine the prospects for improvement and the emergence of new technologies (taking into account domestic and foreign experience), to formulate the concept of digital technologies in criminal proceedings.
