Classification of Forensic Examinations: The Approach Based on Forensic Expertology
https://doi.org/10.30764/1819-2785-2022-2-75-82
Abstract
The article addresses the criteria for the classification of forensic examinations, including the analysis of the relevance of the division of the examinations into forensic and other. The authors reveal the contradictions in determining the names of forensic examinations conducted in various departments, they also demonstrate that the classification of examinations directly affects the training of forensic experts. The article provides some recommendations on the appointment of forensic examinations for the law enforcement officers.
It is shown that to divide forensic examinations into classes, kinds, and types, an expertologic approach should be used: a comprehensive classification criterion defined within the framework of forensic expertology. In practical terms, the authors propose to enshrine the most frequently performed kinds (types) of examinations in a Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, and that departments should bring their internal orders in line with the list approved by the Government.
