Preparation of procedural documents as an element practice-oriented approach in the teaching of criminology and other legal disciplines

The article analyzes modern problems of the quality of legal education in Russia in general and the quality of the teaching of criminology, in particular. It is noted that in some institutions of higher education, individual teachers are separated from the practice of some didactic approaches. Conclusions are drawn that in training it is necessary to be guided by daily applied tasks of criminal law enforcement officers. And this, including, the need to compile a set of procedural documents of criminal justice. The author examines the organizational basis for conducting classes, making a special emphasis on modern approaches to motivating students. Thus, the faculty can help the student in the formation and implementation of a personal professional strategy. A student who has chosen a "practical" (rather than a scientific and teaching) direction in his strategy, for example, work in the investigative bodies of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, may enter the workplace as a permanent public assistant to the investigator in the last training courses. Further, an author's practice-oriented approach to the teaching of criminology and other legal disciplines is developed, developed and tested taking into account the unique conditions of Russian law enforcement. Particular attention is paid to the use in didactics of assignments for drafting procedural documents. For this purpose, an electronic database was developed with a large selection of examples of such documents. They can be downloaded in advance and placed in the computer class of the university, and on the introductory lesson, talk about the rules of access to information and methods of working with it. The trainee is encouraged to prepare his own draft documents on the computer, taking as a basis the corresponding electronic document from the database. Each student, among other tasks, should prepare for each practical lesson from 2 to 5 draft procedural documents, as well as assess the availability / absence of other trainee violations in the documents and / or forensic errors. In addition, in the classroom it is recommended to give assignments on drawing up plans for investigation and countering it; plans for interrogations and other investigative actions; "Tree" versions; list of circumstances to be established and proved; schemes and tables (by qualification, by evidence, etc.), i.e. those documents, which in a non-procedural order are each representative of the prosecution. Examples of their compilation are in the mentioned database. In conclusion, it is stated that, based on a practice-oriented approach, as well as from the synthetic nature of criminology science, training within its course should be based on an interdisciplinary basis, with mandatory integration of knowledge from other sciences of the anticriminal cycle, taking into account the real needs of practice and with purposeful work over the motivation of the trainees.
