MODERN PROBLEMS OF FORMATION AND PROSPECTS FOR RESEARCHING THE CONCEPT OF CRIMINALISTIC INNOVATION

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of forming the conceptual apparatus of criminalistic innovation as a new scientific direction in criminalistics. Methodological problems of development and formation of categories and concepts of the considered scientific concept are being researched. It`s substantiated that the level of formation and reasonableness of any scientific theory, including criminalistic innovation. The analysis of scientific approaches to understanding the basic categories of the considered scientific concept, which are innovative criminalistic product and criminalistic innovation are conducted. Suggestions and author's vision for solving particular issues related to innovations in criminalistics and law enforcement practice are formulated. It`s argued that a comprehensive approach to the developed and formed basic concepts and categories of criminalistic innovation is a methodological foundation for further research on this issue, which determines the promising directions of the development of criminalistic science. Formulation of the problem. In current realities, the tasks of criminalistics are determined by its social function to to promote their techniques, methods and means in countering criminal phenomena. In this regard, the foremost task of criminalistics is to assist law enforcement agencies in the fight against crime, complete and timely technical and criminalistic support, and maintenance the investigation and prevention of crimes, their judicial review. This task can be realized on the basis of full use of the achievements of modern science and technology [1; 2; 3]. As V.Y. Shepitko rightly points out, in the current conditions of the formation of criminalistic knowledge, this process is dependent on the scientific and technological progress of the human community. The development of criminalistics, its tendencies are caused by the influence of world information flows, the integration of knowledge about the possibilities of combating crime with the help of scientific and technical achievements of modern society. The informatization of the social environment has actually led to the «technologicalization» of criminalistics, the development and implementation of information, digital, telecommunications and other technologies. Given the above, radical changes are currently underway and innovative approaches are being introduced in the criminalistic provision of law enforcement agencies [4; 5]. Therefore, the creation and introduction of innovative criminalistic products and technologies in the present-day context is one of the foremost challenges of criminalistic science at the present stage and an urgent need for practice. Presenting main material. The history of the origin and development of science shows that criminalistics has always been an innovative science, it has an innovative character, as well as it has constantly evolved under the innovative 68  Tendances scientifiques de la recherche fondamentale et appliquée  Volume 2
