On the classification of forensic ballistic technologies

The subject of this study is the identification of the grounds for the classification of forensic ballistic technologies based on the classifications of forensic technologies. The purpose of the study is to form comprehensive scientific and theoretical ideas on the classification of forensic ballistic technologies. Within the framework of the study, the approaches to the classification of forensic technologies previously proposed by forensic scientists were considered. It was found that the considered approaches have their drawbacks, the significance of which is due to the discrepancy between the technologies allocated; to the constantly developing fields of science and technology, which does not allow the use of the classifications proposed in modern conditions. It was also found that earlier in the research on criminalistics and forensic examination, the classification of forensic ballistic technologies was not carried out, despite the fact that their practical use is relevant, and theoretical support is a necessary element of the scientific concept of the use of forensic ballistic technologies in the organization and production of forensic ballistic examinations. Among the methods used in this study, the following should be mentioned: analogy, deduction, induction, classification, retrospective analysis and synthesis. The main results of the study are the author's classification of forensic ballistic technologies. The division of forensic ballistic technologies is based on the division of forensic technologies in general, but taking into account the peculiarities of forensic ballistic expertise. The highlighted grounds allow updating the classification of forensic technologies proposed by forensic scientists and creating a classification of forensic ballistic technologies that did not exist before.
