Analysis of the historical development of the institution of surety in relation to minor suspects (accused person)

In the article, the author examines the development of the institution of surety regarding such preventive measure as «supervision of a minor suspect or accused» from the standpoint of its historical formation and legislative control. The interrelation of such preventive measures is manifested not only in the fact that the criminal procedure law establishes obligations in relation to the suspect or accused in the articles regulating the use of these measures. When implementing such a measure as supervision of a minor suspect or accused, in case of breach of the obligations of persons to whom the minor was placed under supervision, penalties are applied that are directly provided for by the provisions of Part 4 of Article 103 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation related to personal surety. In essence, these preventive measures are united by the fact that the suspect or the accused must be influenced by the third party for their proper behavior, which consists in ensuring these persons’ behavior, which comes down to the appearance of the suspect or the accused before the investigator, inquirer or court and for achieving other goals and objectives of the procedural coercion.
