Forensic science in Ukraine: problems and perspectives

Abstract

To sum it up, forensic science has a number of unresolved issues, in particular, there is no unity in defining the subject of criminalistics; there are no new developments in the tactics of investigative (search) actions; there are some problems related to the forms of interaction and motivation of law enforcement and judicial officers. Trends and prospects for the development of forensic science in Ukraine directly depend on scientific and technological progress, changes in criminal and criminal procedural legislation, integration of domestic science into world criminalistics. Perspectives of forensic science are connected with practical forensic activities and conditioned by the needs of law enforcement agencies in combating crime.
