Forensic tactics: a review of the formation history and current trends by O. P. Shaituro

“…The development of criminology from the end of the XIX - beginning of the XX century went in two main directions: 1) the study of technical support for the investigation of crimes; 2) development of criminology as a system of knowledge, covering forensic techniques, tactics and methods. In the period from 1918 to 1936, criminal tactics outlined the peculiarities of professional criminals, secret ways of communicating, ways of committing crimes, information about the behavior of criminals before and after the crime, methods of detecting crimes, finding and detaining criminals, and recommendations for some investigative actions (inspection of the scene and establishment of traces, search, interrogation of defendants and witnesses, comparison of handwriting and more). …”
