The introductory part focuses on a general analysis of the relationshipbetween criminalistics and criminal law and on the relevance of criminalistics for legalpractice.The main part of the paper is devoted to the area of evidence. The area of evidence isthe centre of gravity of the entire criminal proceedings, and therefore the upcoming recodificationof the Czech criminal procedural law may bring improvements to the currentsituation in this area as well. De lege ferenda considerations will be devoted to the analysisof the question whether criminalistic methods and procedures should be regulated directlyin the Criminal Procedure Code, as is the case with the so-called special methods of evidence,or whether such a procedure is not appropriate.
