Criminological and psychological ways of identifying covered circumstances

The article deals with criminological and psychological ways of revealing covered circumstances of a crime that can be used to disclose crimes, in cases where it is necessary to establish the course of events, the fact of committing a crime, and also if suspects hide circumstances of unlawful action. Investigators may find it difficult to establish what only the immediate participant and the perpetrator of the unlawful action can know. During interrogation, the law enforcement officer should receive information about the actual course of the event being investigated and give an assessment of this information. A qualified interrogation requires taking into account the psychological characteristics of the suspect's personality, the patterns of forming figurative representations, understanding the general tendencies of personal reconstruction of these representations. The central psychological problems of interrogation are diagnosing the truth, obtaining truthful testimony and exposing false ones. Individual parts of the event can be withheld, so the actual awareness of the interrogated person cannot be established through passive listening, the information can be obtained using a system of methods based on the knowledge of the human psyche. The object of analysis during interrogation is information reported by the interrogated person. In the course of the experiment, the authors identified speech patterns, as well as features of non-verbal behavior of suspects, concealing the circumstances of theft. In the experiment, some guidelines have been established that are suitable for searching "dangerous zones". All of the foregoing in the article can be considered in terms of possible application in disclosing crimes.
