ON THE NEED FOR IMPROVEMENT OF LEGISLATION REGARDING IMPLEMENTATION OF FORENSIC SCIENCE ACTIVITIES IN UKRAINE
Abstract
The issue of reforming forensic expert support for justice and the need to improve the legislation of Ukraine regarding forensic science activity were investigated. Despite the fact that in recent years, the norms of the laws of Ukraine have been actively subjected to quite significant changes, some issues remain to be resolved on the legal regulation of forensic expert support for justice in the state. The analysis of the specialized literature and relevant legislation confirms the relevance of this issue. On the basis of studying the norms of the basic and procedural legislation regarding forensic science, proposals for its improvement are presented. So, in order to improve the legislation governing forensic science and the unambiguous application of the conceptual apparatus in this field, it is proposed to change the title of Article 1 of the Law of Ukraine On Judicial Examination and introduce the basic terms used in this Law in the the Criminal Procedural Code of Ukraine, Civil Procedural Code of Ukraine, Code of Administrative Proceedings of Ukraine. Improving the regulatory framework for the appointment and performing forensic examinations, as well as the legal status of a forensic expert on the basis of creating the proper legal status and legal support for organizing activities of the system of state forensic expert institutions, as well as forensic experts who do not work in these institutions; increasing the role of legitimate ways to motivate forensic experts; combating corruption in the field of forensics is one of the most important tasks of forensic expert support in the state. The implementation of the proposed measures will be a powerful lever of influence on the processes of improving forensic activities.
