Modern concepts of non-classical and post- non-classical methodology of cognition in the context of research on prevention (counteraction) of criminal offenses against participants in criminal proceedings

The article is devoted to the problem of researching the essence of methodology as a science as a whole, as well as specific problems of modern research methodology, in particular, in the field of criminal law and criminological science, in particular, on the basis of non-classical and post-classical approaches in methodology in the context of researching specific criminological problems of preventing the commission of criminal offenses regarding participants in criminal proceedings Attention was drawn to the fact that the discovery of a number of methodological problems (including in the field of criminological science) became a catalyst for the emergence of a large number of theoretical studies, in particular, related to new, sometimes revolutionary, conceptual approaches to the methodology of scientific knowledge in general, as well as to individual doctrines, first of all, in the fields of criminal law and criminal procedure, as well as in applied fields, in particular, sociology, statistics, psychology. Criminological science uses the methodological basis of these fields to study crime problems, in particular, in the field of socially dangerous encroachments on the rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests of participants in criminal proceedings. It was established that the modern research methodology in legal science, including and in the criminological field - in the field of crime prevention and countermeasures against participants in criminal proceedings, is implemented in the plane of the discursive direction of the general theory of systems (system approach) based on general scientific principles, as well as the principles of general philosophical classical methodology. However, in the process of conducting research in legal science, in particular, in criminology, more and more attention is paid to the doctrines of non-classical and post-non-classical methodology.
