In the beginning of the current century, a new paradigm of assessing the rules in criminal proceedings has been emphasized, more specifically in those criminal cases in which a new trend in applying methodology of criminal sciences is arisen. There is no doubt that the new concept of preventing limitations in assessing the means of the forensics which are directly involved in the process of delivering the criminal decisions has already been accustomed. The current paper focuses on the new concepts of the forensics applicable in criminal proceedings, in such a manner not to exceed the legal framework of criminal procedure law, on the one hand, and to prevent any limitations which should be imposed, on the other hand. In this context, it has been observed that the methodology of investigation through means and instruments of the forensics has reached new dimensions, unavoidable ones. The culture of the forensics is, at the moment, of high interest for the judicial activity of criminal proceedings and, for this reason, a new approach in this matter is expected to be expressed by the legal doctrine in criminal matters.
