Issues of integration in the solution of criminalistic tasks when investigating ecological crimes

The article deals with the problems of integration into criminalistics of the achievements of other sciences to solve the tasks of investigation of environmental crimes. In the integrated nature of the application of knowledge from many different sciences there are the reserves to improve the quality of activity of law enforcement agencies in this field. The theme of integration has long had a place in the development of criminalistic knowledge and is important for the connection of other sciences with criminalistics in general, between the sections of criminalistics. It is also important for linking separate categories within the framework of any section (e.g. features of tactics of investigative action - interrogation, investigative survey, a search, etc. - in the content of private criminalistic techniques of investigation). To increase the efficiency of application of such a general method as modeling, computer modeling is developed to use new software tools to ensure optimization of planning the investigation of crimes and that would be useful in the development of methods of investigation of ecological crimes. Currently, the automated information system "Investigation of crimes in the sphere of computer information" has already been created. The method of computer modeling enables us to improve significantly information and analytical work of the investigator, to enhance its effectiveness in making versions, defining the questions which are subject to examination when forming the list of necessary investigative actions and their sequence for each of the formulated versions, and also to update quickly the plan when receiving new information during the investigation. Due to integration of knowledge it is possible to increase the quality of actions undertaken to uncover and investigate ecological crimes within the framework of the sections of crimi-nalistics. For example, the use of GPS navigators allows increasing the accuracy and efficiency of several investigative actions at the same time: inspection of the crime scene and verification of evidence on the place. Besides the specified technical means for the investigation of ecological crimes, the possibilities of space monitoring, use of radio-frequency devices and wireless touch network for prevention of ecological crimes are of interest.
