Forensic technique: problems, trends, perspectives

Abstract

The globalization processes currently taking place around the world, along with the increasingly accelerating development of technical and scientific progress, are leading to the imminent quantitative and qualitative modification of contemporary crime. In its structure, an increasingly significant weight is acquired by economic criminality, which "feeds" all others, including those related to banditry, separatism, terrorism, etc. The present paper is devoted to the issue of forensic technique, its nature and place in the system of scientific knowledge, its methodological role in the formation of the general theory of judicial expertise, but also to some theoretical-practical problems that persist in expertise. It is stated that both forensic science as a whole, and especially forensic technology, present areas of synthetic and not purely legal nature, which merge knowledge in the fields of technique and nature – fact, of only scientology significance, at the moment. Next, the formation of a new field is analyzed - judicial expertise, derived from the forensic technique, arising from the need to generalize and theoretically argue the processes that occur in the practical activity of expertise, serving as support in the formation of the scientific bases of the varieties of expertise.
