Methodology of Corruption Risk Assessment of the Criminal Procedural Law of Evidence
The corruption potential of the criminal procedure law, the lack of a legal methodology of the anti-corruption expertise of legal acts and their drafts are showing the relevance of the problem of corruption risks in the criminal procedure law of evidence. Currently, there is no any representative of the criminal procedure science who has conducted such research. This article discusses some features of methods to identify, assess and neutralize the corruption risks of the law of evidence in the criminal process. However, the main attention in present article was paid on complexities of identify such risks as well as on their evaluation after the detection. The authors note that an effective way of assessing corruption risks in the criminal procedure law of evidence is a method of statistical multivariate analysis, namely cluster analysis of corruption-norms of the criminal procedure law of evidence. This method allows to assess corruption risks, as well as to design a hierarchical system of data standards for subsequent changes to reduce and neutralize the corruption. Each level of such a hierarchy needs to be addressed - from the use of legal techniques to the complete elimination rules. The article describes the main stages and content of this procedure.
