https://doi.org/10.30764/1819-2785-2025-2-22-29
Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of document classification at the present stage. The authors carry out a retrospective analysis of the most comprehensive approaches to the categorization of these objects including documentary, criminal and procedural and forensic ones. Their advantages and drawbacks are noted in accordance with the requirements of a certain period.
Based on the study of specialized literature and forensic practice, a new approach to document classification consistent with the current level of development of information technologies and document flow is proposed. The authors suggest that its use will meet the current needs of law enforcement agencies in the field of examination, evaluation and use of various types of documents, contributing to improving the efficiency of detection, investigation and prevention of crimes.
