Information Support System for Forensic Activities: Current State and Directions of Development

Abstract

The topic of informatization has long penetrated into a number of scientific fields, and information and new communication technologies are present in all spheres of society and structures of everyday life. Therefore, information processes are currently being studied at both the macro and micro levels. On the one hand, the global processes of informatization of economics, politics, and culture are studied, on the other – informatization and information processes in narrow fields of activity. Information began to be considered as the basis for changes taking place in society, rebuilding both its entire structure as a whole and the structure of individual types of human activities. In this regard, it should be noted that forensic expertise is particularly susceptible to various kinds of changes related to the processes of informatization of society. This is due to the fact that the process of expert research is, first of all, the process of transcoding information. Forensic expertise is inextricably linked with the concepts of information, information process, and informatization and cannot be considered in isolation from them.
