The imbalance of criminal punishment depending on the degree of individual participation in crime as a result of problems in modern criminal policy and shortcomings in forensic methodology

At the present time, due to the frequent changes in criminal law and criminal procedure law, It is necessary to improve outdated methodological guidance and develop new forensic methods to investigate various types of crimes. Thereby it seems logical to study the emerging problems at the boundary of forensic science and criminal proceedings. The purpose of this article is to study the system of accessory criminal offenses and whether it is reasonable to define an act as a criminal according to the degree of individual participation in crime. The results show that forensic investigation technology optimizes the organization and conduction investigations of independent categories of crime. Nevertheless, the incompleteness of the offence established by one's complicity does not have an appropriate methodology. Moreover, setting out this kind of offenses seems not quite indefensible, since it causes the juxtaposition of rules of the general and the special parts of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. This can lead to the injustice of the punishment imposed.
