Analyzing the Concept of Information in Crime Detection and Investigation Activities

The concept of information involved in the field of disclosure and investigation of crimes is one of the central in modern forensics. Moreover, crime detection and investigation activities are seen as work with
information about the crime and its participants. At the same time, there is a discussion among forensic scientists about which of the terms is the most correct: forensic or forensic relevant information. The paper reflects an analysis of a number of points of view, as well as formulates a proposal for the use of the term “forensic information” and suggests its initial definition. According to it, forensic information is any information about the investigated event of a crime and related circumstances. From a practical point of view, the study of forensic information is necessary in order to identify and develop the most effective ways of collecting, researching, evaluating and using it, checking its authenticity, and introducing the necessary technical means.
