Tactical Particularities of Conducting Certain Prosecution Activities on Fresh Traces

The activity of investigating criminal offenses involves solving several complex cognitive tasks in the process of gathering evidence and other criminalistic relevant information. Solving these tasks establishes the lack of comfortable conditions for this, as well as the presence of resistance to criminal prosecution on the part of persons disinterested in uncovering criminal acts. Therefore, it is essential for law enforcement officials not only to know the provisions of criminal procedural legislation, but also to be familiar with certain procedures for conducting criminal prosecution, the possibilities and appropriateness of applying technical means in this direction. It is also relevant to have the ability to plan the investigation and prosecution, to correctly assess the existing prosecution situations, and, based on them, to submit the appropriate versions. Today, criminalistics serves as the main guiding principle for the application of several achievements of natural, technical and humanitarian sciences in the field of jurisprudence. This fact determines the basic trends in the development of criminalistics as a science, with the expansion and modification of the tasks that it is its duty to solve. This is why, for the sake of argument, we resume the assumption that forensic science is a legal science by application, developing a system of procedures, methods, and specialized means for collecting, preserving, researching, and using evidence. Furthermore, these (procedures and methods) are applied in the criminal process for several purposes: prevention, investigation, discovery of crimes, and examination of criminal cases.
