Abstract

Criminological science is defined as a wide exhibit of orders, as represented in the following section. Everyone has its own strategies and practices, and in addition its qualities and shortcomings. Specifically, everyone fluctuates in its level of experimental improvement and in the degree to which it takes after the standards of logical examination. Adherence to exploratory standards is essential for cement explanations: they empower the solid surmising of learning from dubious data precisely the test confronted by measurable researchers. In this way, the dependability of measurable science strategies has been extraordinarily enhanced when those standards are accompanied. The law's concession of and dependence on legal proof in criminal trials depends discriminatingly on the degree to which a criminological science control has established on a dependable investigative approach, prompting exact breakdowns of confirmation and legitimate reports of discoveries and the degree to which specialists in those scientific science disciplines that depend on human elucidation embrace techniques and execution guidelines that make preparations for predisposition and mistake. This discusses the courses in which science uses mostly addresses those go through it (Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward, 2009).

Forensic medical examination to determine the severity of injuries

In “Principles of Criminal Legislation of the USA” states that the protection of the individual and the rights of citizens against crime is a task of the criminal law. For the commission of offenses against the person (causing harm to life, health, liberty, and dignity of the individual), the law provides for criminal liability.

In the investigation and consideration of criminal cases on crimes against life and health, a forensic medical examination to determine the nature (and within the meaning of this article, and severity) of injuries is mandatory. In the all-Union “Rules for the forensic determination of the severity of injuries” states: “From a medical point of view of a personal injury must understand the anatomical integrity violations or physiological function of organs and tissues, resulting from the impact of environmental factors.”

As a result of violations of the anatomic integrity and physiological function of organs and tissues of human health has been harmed, this determines the severity of the injury.

With effect the “Rules forensic determination of the severity of injuries,” making it possible to unify the forensic evaluation criteria of the severity of injuries in all the republics of the USA. They provide medical criteria signs of injuries of varying degrees of severity under the criminal laws of the majority of the union republics. Guided by these attributes determine the degree of severity of injuries as serious, less serious, and light.

The basis for forensic analysis is the decision of the investigating authorities or court ruling. The tasks of the forensic expert is always included: 1) determination of the existence of injury and medical diagnostic characteristic (bruise, abrasion, wound, fracture, etc.), 2) clarification of the mechanism of formation damage (guns, money, causing him), 3) definition of ...
