Legal regulation of the status of a private detective in criminal proceedings

Abstract

In the theory of criminal procedural law there is no unified understanding of the subjects of evidence - this is due to the
fact that each participant in а criminal process carries out cognitive activities on the basis of criminal procedural functions
assigned to him. Thus, the process of establishing objective truth in a criminal case involves not only the criminal prosecution
bodies, but also persons who defend their or represented rights and interests. In this article, the author analyzed the
theoretical assumption of the participation of private detective activities in the criminal proceedings of the Republic of
Kazakhstan. The article reflects the organizational and legal foundations of the provision of services for the collection of
information, items and other data by a private detective in the interests of a particular participant in the criminal process. In
the article, the author focuses not only on establishing the procedural status of a private detective in criminal proceedings,
but also on using the information provided by him and other factual data as evidence in criminal cases.
