Abstract

The crime situation is a meaningful source of forensic information about events regarded as the subjects of cognition in the investigation. The information obtained by investigator must meet the procedural requirements that indicate the order of receipt, valid sources and methods of fixation in order to be available to all participants in criminal proceedings and to be used as a proof. Evidence-based information is a piece of information that the investigator receives in the crime investigation process and that could be used in the proving process as an inner essence of evidence. One of the most substantial sources of evidence-based information is the crime situation, where the preparation, implementation and concealment of a crime took place. Research, analysis and correct interpretation of information contained in a crime situation facilitates the determination of the circumstances, that have to be proved. In the study of material environment, social and psychological conditions of the crime, the investigator perceives directly the system of objects and events, where the preparation, implementation and concealment of a crime took place. The crime situation material environment contains material objects with traces caused by the interaction with the offender, other members of the criminal offense, with the object of attack, but also points out the way crime was сommited. Moreover the crime situation material environment may contain another procedural source of evidence – documents. The crime situation appears as a source of crime not only forensic important information, but also as a primary source of procedural evidences, particularly physical evidences and documents. Regarding that material crime situation contains objects, phenomena and processes, investigated within the expertise and could be considered as the basis for the formation of the findings, we can claim that material crime situation is a versatile source of evidence-based information.
