Charakter prawnodowodowy analizy kryminalnej
Legal and Evidential Nature of Crime Analysis

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to determine the legal and evidential nature of one of the non-codifies means of evidence such as the so called crime analysis of many specific facts that arise in connection with criminal proceedings, and in particular preparatory proceedings.The Author presents the opinion that, in the light of the concepts of the law of evidence, crime analysis is an evidentiary activity performed by a qualified specialist in order to establish whether there are links between collected data, secured and transmitted for crime analysis. The result of the criminal analyst’s work, presented in the form of a report, as well as the result of the report containing the opinion of an expert on crime analysis, referring to links between specific facts with characteristic features, may constitute the basis off actual finding (the so called “evidence fact”) that can be useful to prove the main fact. For this reason, it should be assumed that the outcome of crime analysis is an indirect (circumstantial)evidence from legal and evidential point of view.
