Situation of Committing Criminal Offense as Element of Forensic Characteristics
Abstract
It has been emphasized that the issue of independent allocation of the situation in the structure of a criminal offense’s corpus delicti and the mechanism of its commission is debatable. It has been noted that there is no unified approach to determining the essence and content of the situation of a criminal offense’s commission as an element of forensic characteristics. Scientific approaches to the interpretation of the categories “situation of committing a criminal offense”, “time of committing a criminal offense”, “place of committing a criminal offense” in the theory of criminal law and criminalistics have been analyzed. The situation of committing a criminal offense has been studied from various aspects: as a component of the mechanism of committing a criminal offense; as an element of forensic characteristics; as a circumstance to be ascertained during the investigation.
