DIGITALIZATION OF REFERENCE AND INFORMATION FUNDS FOR CRIMINALISTIC AND FORENSIC EXPERTISE PURPOSES AS A PART OF THE DOCTRINE ON DIGITALIZATION OF CRIMINALISTIC REGISTRATION

Abstract

The article discusses the modern problems of digitalization criminalistic registration system. The author notes that the use of information and computer technologies in order to systematize and store relevant and potential criminalistic information, which together constitute a forensic registration system that began in the 80s of the twentieth century, is actively ongoing. Along with databases and AIPS, forensic records and reference information funds (CIF) for many objects are still in the form objects in kind. From the point of view to the theory of information and computer support of criminalistic activity and the doctrine of criminalistic registration, it is formulated that the subject of the doctrine of digitalization of the criminalistic registration system are the laws of formalization, structuring, unifi cation and algorithmizing the actual and potential forensic information, on the basis of which technologies are being developed for transferring forms of storing this information to digital databases criminalistic and forensic assignment. The objects of this doctrine are criminalistic records and reference and information funds (CIF) in the process of their digitalization. The advantages of CIFs in the form of digital databases are demonstrated. Based on the doctrine of the digitalization of the criminalistic registration system, the author analyzes the possibility of digitalization of legitimate natural collections. It is proved that digital bases for ensuring the evidence-based signifi cance of the results of their use should have regulatory fi xation in technical regulations, as well as expert research methods. The connection between the digitalization of criminalistic and forensic expert activity, where the connecting links are digital traces and CIF, is indicated.
