Abstract
The article is devoted to organizational and tactical basis of the inspection of the crime scene in obtaining information on destruction or damage of property. Epistemological principles of specific investigative (detective) actions are defined and appropriate actions of the investigator᾽s algorithm consisting investigative group, are analyzed. In particular, the author found that one reason for the unsatisfactory situation in the fight against crimes of this type, is to review the specific features of the site, identifying, recording and extracting evidence, involving relevant experts to carry out this investigation (investigative) actions. Persons who are investigating criminal offenses have difficulty already in the inspection of the site at a fixed signs and trace features picture. This leads to the need for re-examination, which often occurs when necessary traces irrevocably lost. Analysis of the current practices of law enforcement agencies in the investigation of crimes under art. 194 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine shows that the surveys still allowed methodological errors, especially broken criminologists recommended sequence of actions that must be performed on the spot in sequence. One of the circumstances that make it difficult to review the event is the fact that it did not involve staff of expert institutions with specialized knowledge. Review not carried out immediately, resulted in significantly reduced its effectiveness. Fewer participants investigative team, a great view of the complexity of the scene does not promote quality of his conduct. Noted that the investigator review of the epistemological point of view, made with complex cognitive methods, procedures and techniques. Acts as dominant scientific methods of cognition as observation. This method combined with other such methods, measurement, comparison, description and, if necessary, with the experiment, but the results of their use implemented in the review process differently. Inspection of the scene in obtaining information about a fire, explosion has its own characteristics that require special investigator training, skill, thoroughness in work. Its success depends not only on knowledge and mental abilities investigator of the professional level of specialists, but also on the ability of the investigator to organize collaboration and exchange of information of all persons involved in this investigation (search) action.Downloads
