The Relevance of Spatial and Temporal Connections and Relationships for the Formation of a Subtheory of Forensic Forecasting

Abstract

The article examines the influence of spatial and temporal factors on forming a subtheory of forensic forecasting. The historical analysis of the formation of scientific knowledge about spatial and temporal connections and relationships in the light of the development of the general theory of forensic examination has been carried out. In this regard, the author proposed the term “time correlation of anticipated events” and introduced it into the general time system (from the past to the future) of the time intervals for the occurrence of certain adverse events or phenomena, the so-called precursor events, which by their appearance warn of upcoming events. The author highlights the considerable importance of technological forecasting in organizing human activity since this activity presupposes the future development of various kinds of technologies.
