Quick procedure process in criminal procedure law

Regulated by Law No. 7188 in Article 250 of the Criminal Procedure Code and entered into force on 01.01.2020, the quick procedure process is an mandatory alternative procedure that can be applied to certain crimes and a reduction in the sentence is made in exchange for the suspect's acceptance. This procedure allows a conviction to be issued without trial. This procedure has many points in common with plea bargaining and similar procedures that started in the United States, became widespread in the Common Law and have been seen in Continental Law in the recent past. The emergence and expansion of plea bargaining is in connection with the relations of production. In this context, there is a close connection between the neoliberal relations of production, which became widespread after the welfare state model, and the acceleration of the judiciary, the increase in efficiency, and the shifting from the seeking for truth. In the first part of our study, the development of the quick procedure process is discussed within this framework. In the second part of our study, the problems arising in the implementation of this procedure, which differs from the general functioning of criminal procedure, and the solution proposals are expressed.
