Abstract
The article attempts to consider the entire set of currently existing measures of criminal procedural coercion from the point of view of systems theory, that is, through comparison with the known signs of systematicity: unity, integrity, interconnection of elements, structure and orderliness, hierarchical structure, multiplicity of descriptions, dynamic development. It is noted that the totality of coercive measures provided for criminal justice meets only two of the specified characteristics. At the same time, circumstances are analyzed that prevent the identification of other signs of systematicity in a given set. As a result, the conclusion is formulated that the system of measures of criminal procedural coercion is another, in no way substantiated and unsubstantiated doctrinal myth, which owes its emergence to incorrect legal and technical approaches that imply a desire to group the provisions of the law, regardless of the essence, content and legal the nature of the relevant techniques and procedures.
