Innovative optimization directions of investigative (detective) activity in modern conditions

Abstract

This article is devoted to optimization issues of investigative (detective) activity by introducing innovative approaches in solving issues of criminal proceedings and introducing their provisions and recommendations into law enforcement practice. The most important innovative development directions of criminalistics at the present stage directed on optimization of investigative (detective) activity in the conditions of crime transformation, information and epidemiological threats to a society are defined and considered. It is substantiated that issue of optimization of investigative (detective) activities is closely related to the use of innovative approaches, it contributes to investigation effectiveness and is one of the conditions for effectiveness of criminal proceedings and judiciary in general. It is noted that without taking into account innovative technologies and means of solving organizational, legal, scientific and technical issues, actual development and implementation of forensic methods, tools and recommendations to ensure activities of law enforcement agencies will not meet requirements of efficiency and optimality. It is noted that in modern realities one of the most promising areas in the fight against crime is the development, implementation and application of forensic innovations in law enforcement in order to increase its efficiency, effectiveness and optimization. Therefore, creation and introduction of innovative forensic products, their active practical use, currently is considered a priority of criminalistics at the present stage and the urgent need for law enforcement practice. It is substantiated that current trends and prospects for development of criminalistics now significantly affect optimization of pre-trial investigation and trial and require expansion of its boundaries and research boundaries, require innovative approaches to solving this issue that necessitate further development of its theoretical and methodological bases and intensification of the practical orientation of research optimization and increase of efficiency activity subjects of criminal proceedings. Three directions of development detection and introduction of forensic innovations are singled out and considered: technical-forensic, tactical-forensic and the direction of providing forensic methods of investigation of separate types of criminal offenses. The main tasks of issues under research and prospects of introduction of its provisions in law enforcement practice are defined, perspective directions of their researches are outlined. Theoretical and methodological principles of development and formation of the concept of innovative principles of forensic support for optimization of investigative (detective) activities in current realities arestudied. New scientific approaches to the solution of researched debatable issues are substantiated and perspective directions of researches on specified issues are defined.
