At the same time, according to the senators, along with the positive work done by the prosecutor’s office, it is necessary to further strengthen control in certain areas of activity. 

In particular, due to shortcomings in ensuring the implementation of legislative acts related to reproductive health, maternal and child health, compared with last year, infant mortality increased by 428 (6 432-6 860), maternal mortality - by 10 (145-155 ).

The fulfillment of certain tasks to support business entities in a difficult financial situation has not been adequately ensured.

There are some shortcomings in the activities of prosecutors as head of the sector.

In particular, it was found that as of January 1 of this year, 21 thousand or 14% of needy families living in the prosecutor’s sectors have not been removed from poverty.

In addition, it was noted that the shortcomings associated with the early detection of crime and delinquency, the elimination of the causes and factors contributing to them, as well as shortcomings on a number of other issues were not over.

41,087 out of 62,081 or 66% of crimes registered throughout the country are classified as preventable crimes.

General crime increased by 34.7%, grave and especially grave crimes - by 49%, including premeditated murder - by 13%, causing grievous bodily harm - by 13%, rape - by 27.7%, robbery - by 18 ,five %.

Practically no work is being done on the study of operational-search and search reports, conducting heated discussions on unsolved cases, and accelerating measures. As a result, 6,761 people out of 9,790 or 75% of the people wanted in the republic were not detained.

Control over pre-trial check and investigation is also ineffectively organized.

In addition, the number of citizens’ appeals to the Senate on issues related to the activities of the prosecutor’s office remains high.

These circumstances require further strengthening of control in this direction, the adoption of decisive and effective measures in relation to each revealed case of violation of the law.

During the discussion, the senators, having analyzed the organization of work in the sectors on the basis of such new mechanisms as the "iron notebook", "women’s notebook", "youth notebook", and the reliability of the reports, made recommendations on establishing effective control over the implementation of tasks to take measures to elimination of existing violations of the law, ensuring social protection and employment of women and youth, securing unemployed youth for entrepreneurs on the basis of the principle "Every entrepreneur is a helper for youth", training young people in professions and entrepreneurship within the framework of the program "Youth: 1 + 1", studying and solving problems , proposals and wishes in the context of makhallas, systematization of work to suppress crime, dividing all makhallas and districts (cities) into “red”, “yellow” and “green”, based on the crime situation.
