The criminal justice system of Ukraine is currently undergoing a process of reforming. The need for the modernization of the law enforcement and criminal justice systems of Ukraine is now universally acknowledged. One of the major goals of the aforementioned reform is to increase the effectiveness of the services and agencies responsible for conducting pre – trial investigations, as pre – trail investigation is an important part of the criminal process. The institution of investigative jurisdiction is of great importance for the pre – trial procedure, as defining the agency which is supposed to conduct the investigation depends on this institution.
