Pragmatism as a vector of criminalistic knowledge development

The paper explains the necessity of making teaching medical jurisprudence more pragmatic. The useful practical results for medical jurisprudence as a science consist in the development of scientific concepts, as well as practical recommendations, which can be widely and effectively adapted and used by professionals involved in criminal procedures and other persons defending one's rights and legitimate interests. Practically useful results for medical jurisprudence as an academic discipline are improvement of the quality of future practitioners' training, increase of students' interest in the subject. First, forensic recommendations should be presented in a language, which is brief and clear to the many readers of law, with a reasonable number of correctly compiled and presented examples of real law enforcement, with the support of schemes, algorithms, software, multimedia means. The second point is closely related to the previous direction. A very interesting and useful proposal of a number of scientists is to include recommendations on the proper preparation of procedural and other documents into various types of forensic products (technical, tactical, methodological), especially, of most complex and important ones, such as indictment. Implementation of these means to strengthen the pragmatism of medical jurisprudence as a science and discipline is urgent due to the requirements of modern practices in the fight against crime. Their implementation will be an important step towards modernization, specification of development paradigms of not only medical jurisprudence, but also other sciences, as well as academic disciplines of the anti-crime cycle.
