Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

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.
