Some Aspects of Applying a Systematic Approach to the Study of the Objects of Forensic Examination

https://doi.org/10.30764/1819-2785-2022-2-6-17

Abstract

The article is devoted to the application of the systematic approach when studying the objects of forensic examination. Based on the theoretical reflection on the problem, as well as on the materials of practice of forensic computer and integrated psychological and linguistic examinations, the authors demonstrate that it is necessary to consider complex objects of analysis as systems. All the elements of such systems are intertwined, aligned, organized and collectively possess properties that are not inherent in any component of their parts. Application of the systematic approach in the production of forensic examinations will help to avoid mistakes resulting in unreliable conclusions.
