Comprehensive expertise. Useful or not?

Abstract

Comprehensive expertise on the basis of criminal science has been known perhaps not for long, but at least for several years. In practice, it is relatively rarely used (most often in cases where a special investigation team is set up). The effectiveness of comprehensive expertise depends not only on the team of experts, but also on the decisionmakers, which should be clearly emphasized. Investigations carried out at the beginning of the proceedings are a determinant of further investigative activities. The broader the perspective of the study, the more we know about what happened. Combined with forensic medical examinations, it allows to narrow down the scope of the search for the perpetrator and his identification.
