АНАЛИЗ ФОРМИРОВАНИЯ И РАЗВИТИЯ СОВРЕМЕННЫХ НАПРАВЛЕНИЙ КРИМИНАЛИСТИЧЕСКОЙ МЕТОДИКИ РАССЛЕДОВАНИЯ ПРЕСТУПЛЕНИЙ ПРОТИВ ПОЛОВОЙ НЕПРИКОСНОВЕННОСТИ НЕСОВЕРШЕННОЛЕТНИХ

Abstract

The article is devoted to modern trends in the forensic methods of investigating crimes against the sexual inviolability of minors. Statistics show that most of these crimes are committed at home and by people from close associates. The author identifies the reasons for the complexity of the investigation of crimes against the sexual inviolability of minors. In connection with the “natural aging” of forensic methods of investigating crimes, the formation and development of new modern directions is required, taking into account the specifics of crimes against the sexual inviolability of minors. In particular, the necessity of developing a unified methodology for the investigation of such crimes is substantiated. The achievements of forensic science, which are a reflection of the dynamics of criminal law and criminal procedural relations, can serve as a basis. The analysis made it possible to conclude that the modern forensic methodology for investigating crimes against the sexual inviolability of minors has not yet been fully formed. The digital age is changing the behavior of children and possibly increasing their vulnerability. The emergence of new forms of violence necessitates further detailing of the private methodology for investigating crimes against the sexual inviolability of minors. In particular, cases of committing crimes of this category using the Internet have become more frequent (Articles 121, 124 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan). And here international cooperation is required to develop a common for all appropriate terminology and description of the constituent elements of various forms of these acts, as well as their legal status. At the national level, the development of a national computer investigation strategy is required. The conclusion is made about the need for further development and detailing of modern directions of forensic methods of investigation of the considered group of crimes, in particular, digital forensics.
