Summary
In the context of police organization, conduct and authority during the 18th and 19th centuries, the approach whereby the police authority conducted preliminary investigations occasioned dissatisfaction, therefore in 1860 several legislative acts were adopted, which changed the procedures for conducting the preliminary investigation of criminal proceedings by introducing a new institute – an investigating judge.
The author in this publication has examined the elements of the reform of the public administration and legal system, as well as analysed the reasons for the reform of the preliminary investigation and the establishment of the institute of the investigating judge.
The author has drawn conclusions regarding the development of the public administration and legal system of the Russian Empire within the framework of Western legal traditions, focusing on the reasons, objectives, and prospects of the reform of the preliminary investigation in the 19th century.
