Abstract

scientific article is devoted to the research of theoretical and practical issues of optimization of information and analytical support for the detection and investigation of crimes committed with the use of firearms. The article presents the results of the analysis of the positive experience of implementing a national ballistic image comparison project conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Possibilities of forensic accounting during investigation of crimes of this category are identified, which, in particular, will help the investigator to properly analyze and evaluate: • the work of a forensic specialist during the conduct of individual investigative (search) actions (inspection of the scene, search, etc.); • the complexity of the removal of all information traces and other material evidence; • results of the rapid analysis of the traces removed and other material evidence, which is carried out by a specialist during the conduct of investigative (search) actions; • the completeness of the assignment and the results of the forensic and special types of expert studies, the correct interpretation of the investigators’ findings and the effectiveness of their use in the further investigation of criminal proceedings; • objectivity of the conducted checks of all investigated material evidence in criminal records, use of the information obtained to identify the offender.
