Abstract:
Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of problems and trends in the development of the private criminalistic theory of disinformation in the context of the transformation of scientific ideas about information processes in criminal proceedings. Based on T. Kuhn's paradigmatic approach and methodological principles of the philosophy of science (I. Lakatos, K. Popper, E.V. Ilyenkov, M.K. Mamardashvili) substantiates the thesis on the transition of criminalistic research of disinformation from the stage of "normal science", in which disinformation was considered primarily as a tactical device, to the stage of formation of an independent private criminalistic theory. It is shown that the empirical data accumulated in the works and the identified methodological anomalies cannot be adequately interpreted within the framework of existing concepts, which indicates the exhaustion of their heuristic potential. Disinformation is considered as a systemic and multilevel process of distortion of the information and cognitive model of the investigated event, influencing the formation of procedural conclusions and generating specific procedural risks. The necessity of theoretical rethinking of disinformation as an independent object of criminalistic research is substantiated and the main directions of further development of the corresponding private theory are determined.
