Once again to the question of the classification of forensics
The rapid growth of crime in developed countries in the second half of the 19th century required the search for new effective means of fighting it, putting the process of detection, detection and investigation of crime on a scientific basis, which entailed the application of advanced achievements in the field of scientific research as well as the results of technological progress in judicial proceedings. Conditions have emerged for the formation of a new area of scientific knowledge, criminalistics, which has become the basis for adapting the results of scientific and technological progress to the needs and requirements of the criminal process. The social function of criminalistics has also been clearly expressed: to arm investigation bodies and courts with scientific and technical means to establish objective truth in criminal cases. Appearance of new types of crimes, active use of advanced achievements of science by criminals, their application of technical novelties are the locomotive for development of non-traditional systems of forensic examination. In addition, since the classification of forensics is of great importance both theoretically and practically, it seems relevant to consider the basic principles of assigning forensics to different classes in the light of new views based on the classification of forensics.
