The purpose of the study is the scientific development of the basic concepts and categories of the private criminalistic theory of ensuring the safety of participants in criminal proceedings, as well as the disclosure of its functions as system-forming elements of this theory. Materials and methods. The study was conducted using the general dialectical method of scientific cognition. In addition, system-structural, formal-logical and cognitive methods were used.
