Abstract (English):
The admission of guilt by the accused has always been relevant for the criminal process in Russia. For many years it occupied the position of the “queen of evidence” and had to be obtained by any means. The most common means of obtaining such a confession was torture. However, as a result of the criminal procedure reform, the accused’s confession of his guilt has become an ordinary, ordinary proof. Despite the complete change in its status, it still remains necessary for the criminal process of Russia. In this regard, positive means of stimulating the accused have been developed for many years, which would not violate his rights and would not force such a confession. Currently, we have a whole set of effective and practical means of stimulating the accused to voluntarily admit his guilt. However, not all of them are relevant. Thanks to the statistical indicators for 2021, as well as the survey conducted, the author identified the most popular means of encouraging the accused to voluntarily admit his guilt, as well as the least implemented in practice. In addition, this article reflects the dynamics of the implementation of incentive funds over the past five years, as well as conclusions for each of the funds presented.
