of criminal-law and procedural sciences give rise to a lack of responsible and incorrect
attitude to the need for a deep study of criminologists, not to mention the proper
familiarization with its current capabilities in the field of law enforcement in other
(non-criminal) types of juridical activities are regulated by rules other branch of Law.
Accordingly, there is a distorted opinion about the importance of the place of
criminology among the basic special law sciences, which provide a complete juridical
education.
To neutralize similar views on criminology that diminish its significance for legal
education seems possible only through the further development of a spectrum of
possibilities of its information activity and cognitive arsenal in various types of legal
activity in the implementation of forensic technologies in working with various sources
of evidence and other legal facts in the process of any type of enforcement. And an
active demonstration of the results of such work in the most diverse public forms, and
especially in the process of teaching it in law schools "[10; p. 60-62].
For our part, we agree with the opinion of the famous scientist-criminalist
regarding the significance of criminology. However, in our opinion, criminology
should be presented only in the main form, with the provision of students only a
systematic set of guiding special knowledge about the means and methods of disclosure
of any crime. Moreover, in a multi-vector analysis of this issue in the light of the current
conditions for combating crime, we are convinced that in-depth criminalistics
knowledge, which directly affects the organization and planning of the investigation,
the interaction of the investigator with the operational and technical units, the tactics
of conducting separate investigative actions, etc., is not worth at all to provide a wide
audience even if it is legal. It entails the uncontrolled dissemination of special
knowledge about the means, techniques and methods used to detect and detect crimes.
We share the point of view of Professor V. P. Bakhin, who points out that a full course
of criminology should be studied by investigators only in specialized law enforcement
institutions, but not in universities or other universities that train lawyers of a broad
profile [11]. As a conclusion we note that the correct solution to the problem of
optimizing the teaching of criminology and adapting it to the urgent needs of practical
activity will allow developing new ideas about the nature and appointment of forensic
science, its place in the system of scientific knowledge and will help to more effectively
establish training practices for law enforcement organs and court in modern conditions.
Separate methodological and psychological aspects of teaching criminology.
Separating into an independent branch of knowledge in the second half of the
nineteenth century, criminology immediately attracted the attention of lawyers.
Moreover, given the formation and accumulation of forensic scientific knowledge, its
formation as a discipline, which emphasizes its certain applied nature, took place. So,
already in 1896, at the congress held in the Austrian city of Linz, on the initiative of
