Unified management of investigative actions as a managerial function of overcoming its forensic complexity

The conduct of all investigative actions is based on principles accepted in criminology and based on criminal procedural legislation. One of the most important principles of investigative actions is unified management of the investigative action. Such leadership is carried out by the investigator (interrogating officer). The implementation of this principle by the investigator is often hampered by factors that shape the forensic complexity of the investigative action. © Кисленко С. Л., Хижняк Д.
