The detention of suspects under the criminal procedure law of the Russian Federation and the reference value for Vietnam

Abstract

The article analyzes and evaluates a number of provisions of the criminal procedure law of the Russian Federation on the detention of suspects, in comparison with the relevant provisions of Vietnam. Based on this, the author proposes a number of issues that contribute to the improvement of the provisions of the criminal procedure legislation of Vietnam on detention in particular and preventive measures in general, such as: Changing the title of Chapter VII of the Criminal Procedure Code 2015 into “Measures of coercion in criminal proceedings”; supplementing the provision on calculating the period of detention from the actual time of detention or arrest of a person by the body of inquiry or the body entrusted with carrying out a number of investigative actions, or the reception of a detained, arrested or escorted person, the return of detainees, arrested persons to places of detention or places of detention; clarifying which cases are considered “necessary” or “special” when extending the period of detention and removing the 01 period for extending detention (total period no more than 06 days).
