Tactics in Interrogation of Juvenile Offenders: Peculiarities of Legal Regulation

Abstract The study aims to determine the theoretical and legal basis for the tactics of interrogation of minors in Kazakhstan, to identify promising areas for improving the legal regulation of interrogation of this category of participants in criminal proceedings in the Republic of Kazakhstan. A comprehensive methodology was employed to analyse the regulatory framework, incorporating systematic, formal legal, and formal logical methods. The study addressed the state of regulatory and legal support for the interrogation of juvenile offenders in Kazakhstan. The study emphasized the need to enshrine the possibility of restricting the participation of a legal representative in criminal proceedings or replacing it completely with another legal representative in cases where participation may harm a minor or adversely affect the course of criminal proceedings. The study formulated recommendations that can be used to improve the legal regulation of interrogation of minors in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
