Prospects for the Introduction of Pre-Trial Probation in the Russian Federation

Taking into account the provisions of international acts, the article substantiates the need to develop a conceptual justification for the introduction of pre-trial probation in Russia, which is not included in Federal Law No. 10-FZ of February 6, 2023 “About probation in the Russian Federation.” The authors also analyze three previous draft laws on probation, which were discussed in our country in the second decade of the 21st century. Three models of pre-trial probation, generally accepted in world practice, are considered, and arguments are given for the possibility of implementing its judicial model in Russia as the most consistent with established law enforcement practice in the field of criminal litigation.
