https://doi.org/10.30764/1819-2785-2023-3-28-41
Abstract
The article discusses the provision on the domain forensic sciences of the concept of forensic expertology developed in the 1970s by A.I. Vinberg and N.T. Malakhovskaya. The author reveals the essence of domain forensic sciences as the sciences, serving as the substantiating knowledge for specific genera (types) of forensic examinations. The article summarizes the controversial aspects on the domain forensic sciences, and also demonstrates the development of this provision in the modern forensic expertology and expert practice of a number of forensic examinations. The author has also attempted to outline the prospects for the development of the provision on the domain forensic sciences in terms of formation of forensic expert sciences basing on the modern ideas about the directions of integration of scientific knowledge, as well as in the aspects of deducing the laws studied by forensic sciences and determining the functions performed by them. Finally, it is concluded that the concept of forensic (forensic expert) sciences is promising for the development of the general theory of modern forensic expertology, as well as its relevance in connection with the active introduction of new types of forensic examinations in recent years.
