Abstract

The study is devoted to the scientific analysis of the prevention and overcoming of resistance to the investigation of crimes committed against participants in the criminal process. It was concluded that the systematic implementation of scientific recommendations, which are based on the provisions of criminology, criminal process and psychology, will help to increase the effectiveness of activities in the specified area. Arguments are presented in favor of granting operational units the right to immediately initiate and conduct visual surveillance of persons who were discovered in the process of secret investigative actions (search), with the aim of obtaining more information about their personal data and evidence of their involvement in committing or preparing a crime against participants in criminal proceedings. The focus is on the increased effectiveness of victimological prevention and individual prevention of crimes of the studied category. The appropriateness of the use of Ukraine, taking into account the national specifics of the world’s best practices to overcome countermeasures and prevent crimes against participants in criminal proceedings, in particular, the system of early prevention and security measures, is justified.
