Abstract

The article examines the problem of competition of criminal procedural tasks in the field of interaction of public and individual principles in criminal proceedings. The conclusion is justified, according to which its successful decision directly depends on ensuring here the moral orientation of legal awareness to achieve social justice (social legal awareness). As a result of the study, it is established that it is in the court with the participation of jurors that the social awareness of the population and the law enforcement officer is formed in the best way. Therefore, as one of the important areas for improving the domestic criminal procedural policy, the most complete realization of the constitutional right of citizens to participate in the administration of justice and to educate on this basis a legal awareness of a social orientation is determined, which in turn will bring criminal proceedings closer to fulfilling their social purpose.
