Abstract

Forensic methodology is an important and integral tool of the pre-trial investigation, as it develops the most rational and optimal ways to investigate certain types of criminal offenses. In order for it to fully fulfill its task, its structure, in the context of the integration of criminal law, must be logical and meet the basic methodological principles. In this regard, we consider the issue of the structure of the methodology of investigation of certain groups (types) of crimes important and relevant. The purpose of the article is due to the need to analyze scientific views on the methodology of investigation of crimes and to propose structural elements of the methodology of investigation of mercenary and violent crimes committed by minors. The concept and structural elements of forensic methods of crime investigation are considered. The role of operative-search support in criminal proceedings is shown and the conclusion on necessity of its inclusion as a separate element in structure of a technique of investigation of crimes is made. The list of structural elements of the methodology of investigation of mercenary and violent crimes committed by minors is offered. It is emphasized that the operational and investigative support of criminal proceedings plays an important role in overcoming the opposition to the investigation and in organizing the security of court and law enforcement officers, persons providing assistance, facilitating operational and investigative activities, persons involved in criminal proceedings, members their families and close relatives of these persons. Naturally, for the successful implementation of these issues, investigative and operational units use the full arsenal of forces and means of operational and investigative activities. It is clear that certain methods of investigating mercenary and violent crimes committed by minors should be formed taking into account their classification. At the same time, attention should be focused on those categories of mercenary and violent crimes that are most often committed by minors. To do this, it is necessary to analyze the forensic practice and find out what problems arise during their investigation. The formation of separate methods of investigation of mercenary and violent crimes should be based on the information enshrined in the basic methodology.
