Allpying the Method of Criminalistc Computer Modeling in Crime Investigation

Abstract

The authors of this article reviewed certain issues, application features and development perspectives of criminalistic computer modeling in crime investigation. The article gives a more precise definition to the term “criminalistic computer modeling” and the strategy of automized crime investigation, reviews the existing programmed hardware-software complexes and forensic equipment, which use criminalistic computer modeling. Moreover, it outlines the possibility of using certain AI elements for building automized strategies to investigate particular types of crimes. Nowadays, forensics as a science needs to develop new tactics, methods and recommendations, as well as forensic equipment and software, based on modern computer technologies and the method of forensic computer modeling, including the use of AI elements, to make crime investigation more effective. This becomes particularly important during the pre-trial investigation stage, closely connected to the development of new forensic equipment and methods. In this regard, the issues of using criminalistic computer modeling in crime investigation demand special attention. The results of this research lead the authors to believe that the possibility of applying criminalistic computer modeling opens new prospects for using it in forensics, including the criminalistic methodology, which will increase the effectiveness of crime investigation and optimize the work of the investigator.
