SOME ASPECTS OF THE INTERROGATION PROCESS IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE COMMISSION OF PENITENTIARY CRIMES

The article is devoted to some features of conducting interrogation in correctional institutions in order to identify the circumstances that contributed to the commission of crimes by convicts. Interrogation is one of the main procedural actions aimed at obtaining and verifying evidence about a crime, including the circumstances that contributed to the commission of the crime. The study focuses on patterns of committing penal offenses, as well as patterns of identifying the circumstances that contributed to them, during the interrogation. The purpose of the study is to form theoretical provisions and develop practical recommendations for the conduct of interrogation in order to identify the circumstances that contributed to the commission of penitentiary crimes. The methodological basis of the study is a system of general and specific scientific methods of cognition. The article uses logical method (in the process of presenting all the material); statistical method (in the process of analyzing the practice of conducting interrogations in order to identify the circumstances that contributed to the commission of penitentiary crimes); empirical method (in the analysis of materials for the investigation and prevention of penitentiary crimes); method of system analysis and synthesis (in the formulation of conclusions and recommendations). In the introduction, the author shows the importance and validity of identifying the circumstances that contributed to the commission of crimes and refers to normative acts that establish the right (and sometimes the obligation) of officials to carry out preventive activities by forensic means and methods. The main part of the article refers to some peculiarities of the interrogation of certain participants in criminal proceedings. The conclusion focuses on the expediency and importance of using tactical interrogation techniques not only in the process of proving, but also to identify the circumstances that contributed to the commission of penitentiary crimes.
