On the Essence and Content of Forensic Crime Prevention: Theoretical and Practical Aspects

The problem of determining the essence and content of the concept of «forensic crime prevention» and its relationship with other related concepts is analyzed. One of the means of forensic crime prevention is to identify, during criminal proceedings, circumstances that contributed to the commission of a crime, with subsequent submission to the relevant organization or official of a proposal to take measures to eliminate these circumstances or other violations of the law. The work notes the difficulties that arise in practice when implementing this form of preventive activity of the investigator. In addition, other areas within which forensic crime prevention can develop are presented.
