Основни концептуални модели на криминалистиката по света
Major conceptual models in World criminalistics

Summary/Abstract: “The Court Investigators Handbook as a System of Criminalistics” by Hans Gross (1982), an Austrian scholar (1847–1915), marked the emergence of Criminalistics and its formation as a scientific discipline. Despite the fact that it is a fairly recent area of study, Criminalistcs has gone a long way to find and establish its place among other scientific disciplines. Throughout its history it has managed to enrich its empirical body of work and develop its own conceptual framework. As a result, its scientific import and practical applicability have met with wide acknowledgement and appreciation. Yet issues concerning the nature, object of study and methodology of Criminalistics are still the object of many scientific discussions and arguments. Due to this, Criminalistics has failed to develop a unified and coherent perspective with regard to those fundamental issues and has intrinsically split up into three main doctrinal camps i.e., a Germanic, an Anglo-Saxon and a Roman one, each treating the above-mentioned issues in its own way. The paper argues that a partial integration of these perspectives combined with a facilitated permeability of knowledge across the three schools will, inevitably, enhance both the scientific potential and social significance of Criminalistics.
