Abstract

The purpose of the study. The article analyzes the forensic characteristics of emergency situations (natural disasters, man-made disasters): concepts; classification; features of production inspection of the scene; issues related to the production of specialized examinations. Conclusions. Issues related to the investigation and prevention of crimes related to man-made disasters (which have become either their direct cause or their indirect prerequisite) are of paramount importance, since everything related to the preservation of life and health, energy security, the need to prevent various kinds of environmental disasters, the prevention of large material losses, etc., refers to priority categories, both for each individual, and for society and the state as a whole. Despite all the complexity and ambiguity in the investigation of the investigated category of crimes, standard algorithms for their investigation have already been developed and continue to be improved. The investigation of these crimes has a large number of specific features and requires a wide range of special knowledge and skills in the relevant field, which justifiably entails the need to involve appropriate specialists (experts) in the investigation. The most valuable source of objective evidentiary information is the conclusions on specialized forensic examinations.
