Криминалистическая регистрация в государствах – участниках Содружества Независимых Государств

Abstract

Introduction. The article discusses the legal framework and other organizational aspects of the application of criminal records in the member states of the Commonwealth of Independent States, in particular the emphasis on fingerprint and genomedatabase is made. The use of such records has a positive impact on solution and investigation of any crime, as it allows the rapid identification of a perpetrator, as well as the establishment of his involvement or,on the contrary,noninvolvement in the crime under investigation. Methods. In the course of the study the following methods were used, namely: philosophical (dialectic-materialistic); general scientific (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, abstraction); disciplinary (static); private scientific (dogmatic-legal, comparative law). Results. The study concluded that, in many states, forensic databaseis given a high priority in the fight against crime, resulting in the appropriate legal framework formation, which, in part, needs to be improved to reflect current realities. At the same time, not all of the states under consideration see auniform approach to the creation offingerprint and DNAdatabank, which appears to be determined by different levels of technological infrastructure. Such features should be taken into account when implementing international cooperation in law enforcement among the CIS member states.
