The main idea of the research is to analyze the psychological characteristics of minors and juvenilesthat must be taken into account by an investigator when interrogating and analyzing the tactical characteristics of interrogation of minors and juveniles by identifying the practical techniques used at each stage of interrogation. The article gives a detailed analysis of the age and psychological characteristics of a given periodwhen a minor can be questioned as a witness or victim, as well as the features of the category of interrogated persons.The article is essential since it is based on the effective use of measures and techniques to establish contact with the interrogated person. This article pays special attention to the establishment ofpsychological contact, which is an indispensable condition for overcoming psychological barriers that make it difficult to achieve mutual understanding, cause distrust, suspicion and other negative psychological consequences.The author emphasizes the importance of establishing a psychological contact with a minor that provides for a conversation on sports, training, new films, games, etc. When interrogating a juvenile suspect or accused, the investigator should keep calm and benevolent, but still be firm enough.The main attention is also paid to tactical methods that should be used during the interrogation. Tactical techniques used depending on the stage of interrogation are defined as follows: tactical techniques aimed at preparing for interrogation; tactical techniques aimed at obtaining testimony from minors and juveniles directly during interrogation.Depending on the typical investigative situations the techniques are as follows: tactical techniques aimed at establishing psychological contact; tactical techniques aimed at detailing the testimony and eliminating errors; tactical techniques aimed at overcoming false testimony and omission in relation to certain circumstances of the case. The author notes that without special knowledge in the field of psychology, the problem of qualitative and effective preparation for interrogation is quite acute. The possession of this knowledge is necessary for an investigator to correctly and objectively evaluate and interpret the evidence obtained from a juvenile, as well as to direct and form tactical techniques depending on the mental state and development of the minor.
