Summary/Abstract: Intuitive-creative criminalistics is an approach in criminal investigations that emphasizes the importance of intuition, creativity, and unconventional thinking in solving crimes. This approach deviates from traditional, strictly analytical methods, giving investigators the freedom to use their instincts, experience, and imagination in interpreting evidence and understanding criminal activities. The key element of intuitive-creative criminalistics lies in the ability to recognize patterns and connections that are not immediately apparent. This includes analyzing the behavior of suspects, understanding psychological motives, and utilizing innovative techniques to reconstruct crimes. This approach also promotes multidisciplinary work, where experts from various fields such as criminalistics, law, psychology, forensics, and sociology collaborate to gain a more comprehensive insight into criminal cases. Through the analysis of works and books previously published by authors, with only the citation of sources, we will attempt to relate the aforementioned inductive-creative criminological thinking. Intuitive-creative criminalistics acknowledges that standard procedures and logical analysis are not always sufficient to solve complex or unusual crimes. The focus is on flexibility, openness to new ideas, and the ability to think 'outside the box.' The approach is particularly useful in cases where conventional methods are inadequate or when evidence is unclear or incomplete. By combining intuition and creativity with rigorous analysis, intuitive-creative criminalistics helps in discovering new avenues in investigations, which can lead to innovative solutions and more successful resolution of crimes.
