The concept and types of criminalistic information
( Pp. 212-215)

The research topics stated in this article will make it possible to contribute to the development of the scientific foundations of criminalistics, which can be useful in the implementation of practical criminalistic activities. Objectives of the work are justification of the need to use the term “criminalistic information” in criminalistics; development of a definition of criminalistic information and consideration of its types. To achieve these purposes, in the article along with the criminalistic information is analyzed the terms “criminalistic significant information” and “criminal-relevant information” found in scientific sources. The foundation is given that the term “criminalistic information” is the most accurate and universal. It is proposed to consider the criminalistic information as any relevant information about the event, facts, circumstances that have or could have legal significance as an initial definition. As for the types of criminalistic information, in this work we cite as an example some of the existing classifications and propose our own. It is important to note that information is the main element of criminalistic activities. The latter, in our opinion, is divided into two types: theoretical and practical activities. In this work, criminalistic information is considered in relation to practical criminalistic activities. The ultimate purpose of this activities is to obtain criminalistic information. Based on this, it can be said that criminalistic information plays one of the main parts in criminalistic activities, and therefore requires a consistent and detailed study. This in turn confirms the relevance of the topic under research. This research allowed us to conclude that the development of the scientific basis of criminalistic information is ultimately aimed at optimizing and improving the quality of practical criminalistic activities.
