Abstract

The purpose of the study. The article analyzes issues related to the forensic identification and diagnosis of a person: innovations in methods and practices; biometric technologies; empirical opportunities in the field of criminal justice; specialized expertise. Conclusions. At the present stage, criminology, in methodological, and especially in empirical terms, due to digitalization and the general growth of scientific and technical development, is experiencing rapid growth, which is reflected in the expansion of the general range of forensic techniques and biotechnologies in the field of human identification, and in the hardware and software of existing techniques (which gives them a greater accessibility in the application plan). The expansion of the range of biotechnologies in the field of forensic identification of a person increases the list and overall potential of specialized forensic examinations and has a positive impact on increasing the level of evidentiary capabilities in criminal proceedings. The increase in the level of development of this area in criminology is socially conditioned and has state significance, as it contributes to an increase in the overall level of security in society and increases the potential of relevant state structures in overcoming threats such as extremism and terrorism. Innovations in methodology, technology and practice in the field of using the capabilities of biotechnologies in human identification issues contribute to a more objective solution of the tasks of criminal proceedings and significantly enrich and increase the evidentiary potential of law enforcement agencies (due to the emergence of new sources of objective evidence) in the fight against crime. The use of complex forensic systems based on a combination of biometric and digital information technologies significantly contributes to solving the tasks facing law enforcement agencies and relevant government agencies and significantly increases the effectiveness of their activities in the field of public and state security.
