Abstract:
This article provides a comprehensive analysis of judicial practice regarding the placement of minors in Temporary detention centers for juvenile offenders of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The relevance of this study stems from the introduction of a special judicial procedure in 2022 (Chapter 31.2 of the Code of Administrative Procedure of the Russian Federation) and the significant increase in recent years in the number of denials of administrative claims filed by territorial bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The aim of this study is to identify systemic problems that impede the successful resolution of cases involving the placement of minors in Centers and to develop solutions. Based on an analysis of the current legal framework, including the latest clarifications from the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, and relevant judicial practice, the author examines in detail the typical procedural and evidentiary errors committed by administrative plaintiffs. Specifically, the author critically evaluates the unreasonably broad interpretation of the grounds for placement in a temporary detention center for minors, the superficial approach to collecting characterizing materials on a minor, and the failure to adequately argue for the exhaustion of other preventive measures not related to isolation. The conclusion offers practical recommendations for law enforcement officers aimed at improving the quality of administrative claims and developing uniform law enforcement practices that ensure a balance between the interests of society and the rights of the child.
