AXIOLOGICAL DETERMINANT OF EVIDENCE RELIABILITY THROUGH THE PRISM OF JUDICIAL PRACTICE

Abstract

The crisis of moral principles of social development at the present stage, the need of Russian law to create new legal traditions, the need to form a new scale of social values necessitate the assessment of the existing criminal procedure regulation for compliance with moral and ethical standards, the main axiological determinants of modern society, among which faith and trust occupy a special place. Through these categories, it is necessary to assess the understanding of evidence reliability in criminal proceedings. Purpose: to analyze the evidence reliability by interpreting its criteria in law enforcement practice. Methods: methods of comparative and comparative law research, description, interpretation; axiological and axiomatic methods; specific scientific methods: legal-dogmatic and interpretation of legal norms. Results: the study allows to conclude that it is necessary to assess the evidence reliability due not only to its procedural significance, but also to its moral essence. The analysis of judicial practice allows to argue the thesis that, unlike faith, which does not require proof, reliability needs confirmation, but in practice the criteria for assessing the evidence reliability are highly differentiated.
