Aivar, L.K. Confinement under guard and other measures of restraint: the problems in practice.

Abstract: For six years by now in Russia there’s a new procedure for confinement under guard of persons accused of crimes, which is based on a judicial act. The first years of experience show the smaller number of persons, to whom this measure is applied, however, now its’ late years of application show the opposite, which worries legal scholars and practitioners alike. This article by L.K. Aivar is devoted to this problem.
