Abstract

The article examines the peculiarities of hooliganism investigation methods at the current stage of the development of criminology. Based on the study of statistical data, a conclusion was formulated about the effectiveness of modern methods of investigation of this offense, since in recent years there has been a tendency to decrease their number. It has been found that the methodology consists of three components: forensic characteristics, typical investigative situations and investigative versions, the algorithm for conducting investigative investigative actions in one or another situation, and each of them is analyzed in the context of the investigation of hooliganism itself. Attention is drawn to the fact that, from the point of view of criminalistic characteristics, hooliganism is in most cases committed by men, during leisure time without prior preparation through cynical body movements combined with obscene swearing, public exposure of body parts, creating noise and disturbing the peace of citizens. It has been found that the set of actions used at the postal stage of the investigation of hooliganism depends on many factors, which in turn make up investigative situations, which are distinguished by four, which depend on the completion of the act, the arrest of the violator and other circumstances. Each of the investigative situations was analyzed and it was emphasized that the most typical investigative search actions, which are carried out in most cases, are the inspection of the scene of the incident and interrogation, and in some cases, presentation for identification, an investigative experiment, and conducting examinations may be carried out. The study of each of them showed that in the process of investigating hooliganism, each of them has its own characteristics, which are related to the specifics of this offense. In view of the predominant perpetration of hooliganism in the evening and night time, it was concluded that currently, in the conditions of martial law, when the curfew has been introduced, the time during which these acts are most often committed has been reduced, which is one of the reasons for the decrease in their number. On the basis of the conducted research, a conclusion was formulated about the importance of conducting further research into the peculiarities of the investigation of certain categories of criminal offenses.
