On the application of coercive measures of a medical nature
The article deals with the problems of applying a special order of coercive measures of a medical nature against convicts serving a sentence of deprivation. The analysis of foreign experience allows the authors to note that in most countries compulsory medical measures are considered as a kind of other criminal law measures («security measures»). In their opinion, the system of treatment of convicts established at the legislative level requires significant improvement. It is proposed to amend the current version of article 97 of the criminal code.
