Keywords: forensic methodology, sources of forensic methodology, information base, separate methods of investigation of criminal offenses.

Abstract

The subject of the study is to provide a detailed description of the sources of formation of certain forensic methods of investigating criminal offenses. The purpose of the article is to clarify the concept, content, meaning and system of such sources.

The main thesis of the scientific work is the assumption that the studied sources are objects, phenomena, processes that contain certain data, information, factual materials for the formation of certain forensic methods of investigating criminal offenses. In order to verify it, the analysis and generalization of the scientists’ views on this issue, considered the general theoretical foundations of forensic methodology, and more.

The study is aimed at creating the preconditions for improving existing and developing new forensic recommendations. As a result, new scientifically substantiated results were obtained, which help to improve the provision of the investigative bodies, the prosecutor's office and the court with modern methodological recommendations aimed at improving the efficiency and completeness of the investigation and trial of criminal offenses.

The study clarifies the content of the concept of the source of certain methods of criminal offenses investigation (objects (phenomena, processes, etc.), which are the primary carriers of information for the formation of appropriate methods), their significance is determined (creation of scientifically substantiated information basis for formation of effective methods of investigation of criminal offenses) and their system is considered (theoretical, empirical, normative, analytical-informational and reference sources). It is proved that these sources form the information basis for the formation of certain methods of investigating criminal offenses. It is concluded that a systematic approach to the formation and scientifically sound analysis and generalization of the content of the system of these sources is a condition for the development of effective modern methods of investigating criminal offenses.
