Digital Technologies in the System of Methods of the Prosecutors Ensurance of the Right to Court Protection at the Initial Stage of Criminal Court Proceedings
The authors examine some aspects of how a prosecutor could use digital technologies to supervise the observance of the constitutional right to court protection at the stage of receiving, registering and dealing with reports on crimes. The effectiveness of this supervision directly depends on how soon a prosecutor acquires information on the reported cases of crimes, and on the results of checking them by specially authorized bodies. The authors examine the possibilities of using digital technologies in this area of a prosecutor's work as necessary instruments that ensure promptness of a prosecutor's response to the facts of unlawful and ungrounded refusal to initiate a criminal case. The author argues that a balanced approach is necessary when organizing a prosecutor's supervision of pre-trial proceedings. It is suggested that special software for analyzing the materials on checking reports on crimes should be developed, tested and introduced in the supervision practice; they could optimize supervision work in this sphere and become one of the elements of an automated workplace for a prosecutor.
