investigations are neglected, i.e. there is a lack of use of modern technology and software in detection and
investigation of criminal offenses.

THEORETICAL-METHODICAL ASPECTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF
CRIMINALISTICS AS A SCIENCE
Abstract
The paper will actualize issues related to epistemological problems of criminalistics in the form of
thesis, especially the differentiations incurred in the creation and application of methodological instruments
and in the creation of new knowledge. An effort will be made to differentiate the role of criminalistics, its
object and method of research in relation to the criminology and the asphalialogy (the Security Science).
The science, including the criminalistics, is an attempt to align the chaotic diversity of our sensory
experiences with the logical unique system. It is schematized and elaborated sum of knowledge in a
particular historic period of objective reality, to which we come by a conscious application of certain
objective research method.
This paper will show the view that knowledge of methodology is prerequisite to deal with science, i.e. how
much it is applicable in the criminalistics approaches and research. From that aspect the question about how
much the methodological rules are respected and applied will be problematized. Every science, as well as the
criminalistics, when explaining its own study objectives, not by chance, elaborates the way a research is
undertaken, and the specific methods that are used in the area of its interest.

INTRODUCTION
The occasion and the title of the conference alone, imposed to open, even in the form of a thesis, a
question for the position of criminalistics in modern science. This is popular in several aspects: first, because
the father of this group of science and
criminalistics science, worked, acted and announced the social science
community, the views, theoretical, pedagogical and practical experience of this institution and a few of us
here had the honor to interact with
professor Vladimir Vodinelic, some of us as direct assistants,
some as part
of a collective in which criminalistics received academic status and were organized the first undergraduate,
postgraduate and doctoral studies. The second refers to some issues that Professor Vodinelic opened, and
how they theoretically deepened and affirmed in contemporary science and thirdly, whether criminalistics
and its perspective are trapped between a flood of other sciences. Why today fraction of the topics and
methods of research are part of the forensic science? Is forensic science a a new term for criminalistics? And
one more question that is not directly related to the topic, but it is within that framework, is: why does the
legislator in Macedonia, delegate pre-trial proceedings to judicial (and not the criminalistic) police
54
.
In that sense we need to ask the question: why in the European classification of sciences and scientific
areas there is no Criminalistics? And more directly, why in that classification, only in certain countries, such
as Macedonia, Criminalistics is classified in the "Safety" area, and in some other countries, such as Bosnia
and Herzegovina, the area is "security and defense" or "security and military science" in Croatia. Answers to
the questions are impossible to answer in one work.

HOW IS CRIMINALISTICS DEFINED AND CLASSIFIED?
In a recent study Professor Angeleski Metodia concluded that "in criminal and other literature in the
highly developed countries the criminalistics have a contest character of independent science. A pseudo
scientific claims that criminalistics is not a distinct science, but only skill, i.e a practical discipline (which is
still burning in part of the Macedonian university environment), is fragmenting like a soap bubble when you
set the real question: Why is criminalistics a science? “
55
. And he continues: "Here are the facts and answers!

Judicial police are the officers from the Ministry of Interior, Financial Police and law authorized personnel of the Customs
Administration working on detection of crimes. The term police in the Law on Criminal Procedure is used as a general term for the
judicial police, and the police in terms of the law for the police and members of the Military Police. http://www.pravdiko.mk/ulogata-
