Abstract
The article deals with the issues of formation, use and implementation of approaches and methods that have both traditional and innovative character from the scientific perspective into expert practice.
The experience of the scientific school of the Federal State Budgetary Institution – Russian Federal Centre of Forensic Science by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation – in forming the basics of forensic expertise, developing relevant methodological materials, and introducing new types of forensic examination into expert practice is considered. The necessity of innovation development in the activities of forensic institutions, including accreditation, standardization, certification, creation and functioning of management system, the application of a risk-oriented approach is demonstrated. Prospects for the formation and development of land surveying, mineralogical, molecular-genetic, political scientific, religious scientific, ethics expertise, as well as labor safety and occupational health expertise within the system of forensic institutions under the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation are outlined. Ways to improve educational activities for public and private forensic experts are presented. The authors also discussed the prospects for the development of management system, standardization, accreditation, and the introduction of the risk-based approach to improve the quality and reduce the time of forensic examinations.
