Development trends in criminalistics in the era of digitalization

Abstract

The actual problems of modern trends in the development of criminalistics in the era of digitalization are investigated. The current state, tasks and main trends of the modern development of criminalistics in real today's conditions in the conditions of war and the processes of digitalization of all spheres of life of our society are determined and analyzed. The most promising areas of scientific research in modern criminalistics in the era of digitalization are identified and characterized. It is substantiated that in modern realities it is important to take into account modern trends in the development of forensic science associated with the formation of its individual branches: digital, medical, aerospace, nuclear and military criminalistics. It is noted that the emergence and formation of new areas of criminalistics are primarily due to scientific and technological progress and the rapid development and implementation of the latest digital technologies, including artificial intelligence. It is believed that in the modern realities of the military in Ukraine, the problems of criminalistic support for the investigation of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, taking into account international experience and the active use of digital technologies in law enforcement, are of particular importance. It is noted that the success of the implementation of the tasks of modern criminalistics largely depends on the European vector of development of domestic science, taking into account the best international experience in combating modern crime, which also actively uses the latest digital technologies and the capabilities of artificial intelligence in its criminal activities. Particular attention should be paid to the criminalistic training of investigators, prosecutors, forensic experts in the field of digital technologies.
