Занятие высшего положения в преступной иерархии как объект криминалистического исследования

Abstract

The article analyzes the forensic features that affect the disclosure and investigation of criminal cases related to occupying the highest position in the criminal hierarchy (Art. 2101 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The authors point out two important points in the investigation of criminal cases related to occupying a higher position in the criminal hierarchy. The first appearance of the new norms of the criminal law, like many others, stipulates the development for the investigation bodies of a certain method of investigation based on scientific knowledge. Second, to form the evidence base in a criminal case and, in general, to develop a methodology for investigating such cases, it is necessary to establish a key point related to the definition of the basic concept of “occupying a higher position in the criminal hierarchy” In this connection, it is of practical importance for this category of criminal cases to identify forensic characteristics and their subsequent integration with the knowledge of other sciences involved in determining the essence of the prohibition established by the criminal law.
