The main trends in formation and development of forensic science in current realities are defined and analyzed, and promising directions of its scientific research are outlined. Emergence and formation of new areas of criminalistics due to scientific and technological progress, introduction of the latest technologies, the need to detect specific traces and collect evidence (genomic, digital, nuclear, etc.) are substantiated. It is noted that it is important to take into account modern trends in development of criminalistics related to the formation of its separate branches (directions): medical, genotyping, computer (digital), aerospace and nuclear. In war conditions in Ukraine, formation of a new scientific direction of military forensics, its object, subject, system and tasks are defined. Issues of formation and development of European criminalistics, integration of Ukrainian criminalistics into the single European forensic space, development and implementation of innovative products into law enforcement practice, taking into account positive international experience in the field of combating crime, were analyzed. Rebooting and modernizing current paradigm have been proven to be promising. Expansion of application limits of forensic knowledge, necessary not only during the investigation of criminal offenses and/or trial in criminal proceedings, but also in various spheres of legal activity (administrative, civil, economic, arbitration proceedings and even in constitutional jurisprudence) is considered and substantiated.
