SCIENTIFIC PARADIGM ON BASIC AND INDIVIDUAL (SPECIAL) CRIMINAL METHODS OF INVESTIGATION OF CRIMINAL OFFENSES, COMMITTED THROUGH FRAUD

Abstract

The article is devoted to the consideration of certain aspects of forensic methods of investigation of criminal offenses, committed by fraud. The paper emphasizes that in the scientific community there are numerous discussions on the structure of forensic methodology, its types and kinds, the principles of construction of forensic methods of investigating crimes of certain categories. Emphasis is placed on the need to define the concept of a separate forensic methodology for investigating criminal offenses of a certain category in order to solve a number of theoretical and practical problems that arise in the investigation of criminal offenses arising from the investigation of criminal offenses and finding the most effective methods, techniques and methods of organizing investigations in criminal proceedings. Emphasis is placed on the observance of certain principles that reflect the essence of forensic methods of investigating crimes of certain categories. Various points of view of scientists in the context of conceptual provisions of forensic methodology are considered. Criticism has been criticized of proposals to expand the boun daries of forensic methodology from the stage of pre-trial investigation to the stage of trial. It is noted that the fact that a lawyer, prosecutor and judge really need a certain algorithm of actions in the performance of their professional duties, not only in the pre-trial investigation, but also in court, cannot be ignored. Instead, the recommended course of action for certain actors in a given situation (defense, prosecution, court hearing, etc.) is more likely to be seen as a tactic than a method. A list of elements that should form the structure of a separate forensic methodology for investigating criminal offenses committed by fraud is proposed.
