In our opinion, it is this kind of responsibility will At the same time, the criminalization of a criminal delinquency in the sphere of criminal law will guarantee every person the right to protection and fair trial, and will provide an opportunity to investigate non-violent crimes under a simplified procedure that will remove the burden from investigators. At the same time, after introducing the concept of “criminal delinquency” and the simplified procedure of its investigation, the investigators will be able to concentrate on the disclosure of grave and especially grave crimes.
