The relevance of the article is that the method of committing a criminal offense is one of the central elements of the forensic characterization of criminal offenses, which provides the largest amount of forensic information, which allows the investigator to navigate the crime and determine the best methods of investigation. The article substantiates that the method of committing theft in a large city depends on objective factors (situation, time, place of commission; object of encroachment, its qualitative and quantitative features; the presence of tools or access to them; the commission of preparatory actions; the presence of accomplices and their qualifications) and subjective (availability of «professional knowledge», physical condition and psychological characteristics of the offender) nature. It was found that the preparation for committing theft in a large city involved the choice of the subject of criminal encroachment; preliminary reconnaissance of the place; development of a plan of criminal actions; observation of the place where the property is stored, or of the property itself; distribution of roles for theft; selection and preparation of the place of storage of stolen property; selection of technical means for penetration into the premises where the property is stored; search for technical means for transportation of stolen property. It is determined that the establishment of a method of committing theft in a large city is the basis for the promotion of operational and investigative and investigative versions and the development of certain tactics. This allows to concentrate the necessary forces and means in the places of probable theft, to provide effective operational maintenance of the most criminogenic objects. In addition, knowledge of the methods of committing thefts in a large city allows the investigator (coroner) to methodically correctly determine the directions of pre-trial investigation of criminal proceedings. It should be added that offenders, in turn, seek to use methods that would significantly complicate the investigation or make it impossible. For this purpose, new ways of committing a criminal offense and its concealment are being sought and modified.

The article covers some aspects of the investigation of mass riots. The essence and system of forensic characterization of the specified actions for their faster and more effective investigation are considered. It is noted that a criminal offense has a large number of characteristics, which in criminology are systematized in such a scientific category as «forensic characteristics». For half a century the criminological characteristic has entered into a technique of investigation of criminal offenses as a stable element. With regard to mass riots, it should be emphasized that the investigation of these acts has important features, which, inter alia, are related to the study of a certain category. The position of the authors is supported, who believe that for police officers who are directly in-volved in the investigation, the most important thing is the practical application of a tool that will help in the investigation process. That is, the real value of the forensic characterization of a particular type of crime is the possibility of its practical application, the ability to resolve certain issues in view of it and, of course, the ability to make it to investigate certain categories of crimes faster and more efficient. At the same time, the use of such an information system requires in each case to identify a key element through which you can make a «login» to the system in order to obtain the necessary information. The selection of a key element for a particular case depends on the investigative situation at this stage of the investigation. The author concludes that a forensic characterization is a system of information about forensically significant features of criminally punishable acts of a certain type, which reflects the legitimate links between them and serves to build and verify investigative versions during their investigation. The system of forensic characteristics of mass riots includes the following elements: the method of committing a criminal offense; the situation of mass riots; the subject of the criminal act; traces of the offense; the identity of the victim; the identity of the offender. Keywords: mass riots, organization, tactics, investigative (search) actions, forensic description.

The concept of “forensic characteristics of crimes” has long been among the basic concepts of forensic theory and practice. The content of this concept is a systematic set of data about the crime, elements of its composition that are relevant for the identification and exposure of the perpetrator – the location, time, method, traces of the crime, and other circumstances of the subject of evidence, as well as related facts. Particularly serious criminal offenses represent one of the most difficult categories of crimes in terms of their detection and investigation. Often this is due to miscalculations and mistakes in the conduct of primary investigative and search operations, the lack of adaptation of existing private forensic techniques to the realities of modern crime in this field. Most often, the primary measures to identify the perpetrators of the murder of a person are haphazard in nature, conducted without involving the entire arsenal of tactical and criminalistic tools. Sometimes this leads to the loss of the necessary evidence and the lack of efficiency of the enormous amount of work. Detection of certain traces at the scene of the murder, their subsequent fixation, and seizure contribute to the emergence of possible forensic versions, as well as with their help it is possible to distinguish the key signs of the murders committed and consider the evidenced evidence in a specific context. The traces allow us to draw conclusions about the nature, motives, and mechanism of the criminal offense, the identity of the offender, his characteristic physical and psychological characteristics, which are extremely important in the investigation of the killings. Murders committed by convicts in prisons, like any other, cannot be committed without a trace, ie they leave behind in the environment as traces. Which is direct evidence when investigating such a category of crimes. Analyzing the scientific literature and taking into account the practice of law enforcement agencies, the concepts of traces, bases of classification, differentiation of concepts “trace picture”, “typical trace picture”, “typical traces”, division of trace pictures into groups of traces were investigated and revealed. Keywords: trace picture, crime, murder, places of imprisonment, traces.

The article is devoted to the concept of forensic characterization of violent crimes committed on the basis of racial, national and religious intolerance, and its main structural elements that are most important in the detection and investigation of crimes in this category. It is noted that the forensic characterization of crimes is a system of general data, information or information about typical features (structural elements) of a certain type of crime, which are important in the investigation and detection of criminal offenses of a particular type. Among the most important elements that are important during the pre-trial investigation of this category of crimes, we have identified the following: the identity of the offender, with his mental activity, which includes a special motive for committing a criminal offense - intolerance; the person of the victim; the subject of criminal encroachment; the manner of committing the crime in the broadest sense; trace picture. The article reveals the concept of the subject of proof and emphasizes that it fully covers Article 91 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, concerning the general procedure for proving in the investigation of violent crimes committed on the grounds of racial, national and religious intolerance. Emphasis is placed on the fact that among criminals who commit violent crimes on the grounds of racial, national or religious intolerance, there are minors, which is why, along with the general circumstances covered by Article 91 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, are subject to the establishment in criminal proceedings of circumstances that relate directly to minors and provided for in Article 485 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine. The article examines the relationship between the forensic characterization and the subject of evidence, and substantiates that the forensic characterization serves as an information base for the circumstances that are part of the subject of proof.

The legislation of Ukraine does not contain a legal definition of the concept of “jurisdiction”, although at the theoretical level this legal category has repeatedly become the subject of scientific research, its content and types have been constantly transformed depending on changes in the legislation of Ukraine. The socio-political situation caused by the violation of the territorial integrity of Ukraine, the priority of the state’s criminal policy in the fight against terrorism, corruption, have become a prerequisite for the emergence of new bodies of pre-trial investigation, changes in the procedural status of the investigator. This allows us to continue scientific research in the direction of improving the definition of “jurisdiction”, the definition of its characteristic components, species and more. The article discusses the relation between the terms “investigator competence” and “jurisdiction”, arguing that the former is broader. Attention is drawn to the normative construction of the articles of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, which define the rules of subsidiarity, in particular, in retrospect. Analysis of the criteria under which a criminal proceeding is assigned to the sphere of activity (management) of a particular pre-trial investigation body, in particular, the place of commission of a criminal offense, qualification of a criminal offense (event of a criminal offense, nature of the consequences, the subject of the criminal offense, its form guilt), the special status of the subject of the crime, the type and size of the object of the crime and the harm caused by the criminal offense, the status of the victim, the connectedness of actions, etc., allowed to conclude on the expediency of introducing into scientific circulation the concept of “criminal procedural characteristics of criminal offenses” The author defines the concept of “jurisdiction” by which the constituent competence of an investigator for conducting pre-trial investigation of a certain category of criminal proceedings, which is determined depending on the criminal procedural characteristic of a criminal offense, should be understood.

The relevance of the article is that evidence in criminal proceedings is the most important part, which is carried out in the manner prescribed by law by the investigator, prosecutor, investigating judge and court with the participation of other participants in criminal proceedings to collect, verify and evaluate factual data (evidence) to establish the reality, substantiate the conclusions and decisions taken. The procedural form of proof is determined by its content. In essence, proving includes cognitive, communicative, witnessing, and mental activity. The first element of the process of proving is the collection of evidence, which consists in identifying sources and carriers of evidentiary information, obtaining, seizing material evidence, fixing, fixing in the statutory procedural form of factual data. One of the most effective procedural ways of gathering evidence is investigative (search) actions. The aim of the work is to analyze the current criminal procedure legislation and the position of scholars on the theory of criminal procedure on the procedure for conducting investigative (search) actions during the investigation of criminal offenses committed by minors. The article is devoted to the study of procedural features of investigative (search) actions with the participation of a minor. Problems were clarified and proposals for their solution were proposed by making changes and additions to the criminal procedural legislation to ensure the realization of procedural rights and legitimate interests of the juvenile. It is concluded that the conduct of investigative (search) actions as a means of obtaining evidence in criminal proceedings against minors are based on the characteristics of the subject of such proceedings - minors. In order to ensure the realization of the procedural rights of a minor, it is proposed to enshrine in the CPC of Ukraine certain provisions that will formulate an order that least disrupts the normal lifestyle of a minor and will correspond to his age and psychological characteristics.

The article is turned out to a scientific search for the concept of "a reconciliation agreement between the victim and the suspect or accused" through the study of the essence of reconciliation and role in criminal proceedings thereof. The author notes that criminal procedural law (until 2012) had been proclaimed another approach to reconciliation between victim and suspect, not involved a dispute procedure as a conflict, the result of which can be reached by compromise and understanding through reconciliation. It is stated that one of the ways to resolve the legal conflict in committing a criminal offense was the opportunity to reach a compromise between the victim and the suspect (the accused) by concluding a reconciliation agreement between them, provided by the Code of Сriminal Procedure of Ukraine (2012). The main attention is placed on the shortcoming of the domestic criminal procedure law which is the lack of the concept of "a reconciliation agreement between the victim and the suspect or the accused", which can be eliminated only through examining the essence or legal nature of reconciliation in criminal proceedings. Taking into consideration the current legislation and modern views on the institution of reconciliation in criminal proceedings, the author's definition of the concept of "a reconciliation agreement" is proposed. Thus, “The conciliation agreement is an agreement in criminal proceedings concluded between the victim and the suspect or the accused person on their own initiative in relation to crimes of minor or medium gravity and in criminal proceedings in the form of private prosecution, the subject of which is the compensation of harm caused by wrongdoing or committing other actions not related to compensation for the damage that the suspect or the accused is obliged to commit in favor of the victim, in exchange for an agreed punishment and sentencing thereof or sentencing thereof and relief from serving a sentence with probation, as well as the statutory consequences of conclusion and approval of the agreement".
