Crime detection – russian and foreign experience

Abstract

The article discusses the issues of crime detection as one of the criteria for the effectiveness of the law enforcement agencies. Every year the number of undetected crimes remains at a consistently high level. This confirms the relevance of the problem under consideration and indicates the need for further developments in this direction. The authors managed to conclude that the full definition of the term “crime detection” is not presented in any legislative act, i.e. this scientific category has actually always been outside the legal field, which led to its arbitrary interpretation by individual scientists and practitioners. Also, the authors concluded that there is a close relationship between the concepts of "crime detection" and "countering detection", which was the basis of this article. The article was prepared considering foreign experience. In general, this approach allows using the effective means and methods in the fight against crime, as well as modern technologies in crime detection.
