Abstract

The peculiarities of criminal case initiation are considered as an independent element of a private criminalistic methodology for investigating criminal violations of the inviolability of private life. The reasons for initiating criminal cases have been investigated in detail. An analysis of various approaches to the definition of the concept of "cause to initiate a criminal case" is conducted. The particular importance of the statement about the crime as an excuse for instituting criminal proceedings in cases of private-public accusation is underlined. The author proposes to distinguish reports on crimes discovered by employees of state authorities, public and other organizations and enterprises as a separate group of ways to express a free cause. It is noted that the establishment of reliability of the received information and its sufficiency in order to become the basis for initiating a criminal case is carried out as part of a preliminary audit. The main directions of such verification are the establishment of the object and the objective side of crimes, as well as the delineation of criminal acts and administrative offenses criminalized by criminal law.
