Abstract: The object of the study is the criminal procedural relations that develop during the conduct of investigative actions against minors during the preliminary investigation. The subject of the study is the norms of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, other laws regulating relations related to the production of investigative actions involving minors, as well as theoretical foundations and materials of investigative and judicial practice. The procedural features of the interrogation, confrontation, identification, verification of testimony on the spot and other investigative actions with the participation of minors are considered. At the same time, special attention is paid to the use of video recording of their conduct and the involvement of a psychologist or teacher to participate in the investigative action against a minor. The authors note that Federal Law No. 432-FZ of December 28, 2013 has significantly expanded the range of investigative actions involving minors, during which it is necessary to comply with special legal regulations that protect the rights and interests of these persons. The conducted research made it possible to identify some shortcomings in the regulation of investigative actions against minors. The authors propose ways to eliminate them: video filming as a means of fixation should be carried out during all investigative actions involving minors; situations of participation of a psychologist or (and) a teacher, and in some cases a psychiatrist in the production of investigative actions with this category of persons are determined.
