The state of research into the problems of public administration in the field of forensic expert activity
Abstract
This Article Purpose is to carry out an interdisciplinary analysis of the problems of understanding f public administration in the field of forensic expert activity and reveal the essence of key concepts. General scientific methods of theoretical generalization, comparison, system analysis and formalization are applied. The author’s definition of the concepts of «forensic examination» and «forensic expert activity» is provided. The essence of the concept of public management in the field of forensic expert activity is interpreted from the standpoint of institutional, paradigmatic, systemic, and functional approaches. From the standpoint of an institutional approach, public administration in the field of forensic expert activity is a complicated institutional complex that allows for the regulation of forensic expert activity and is aimed at ensuring the justice of Ukraine with independent, qualified and objective examination, focused on the maximum use of the achievements of science, technology, art and crafts. In the context of the formation of paradigmatic principles, public administration in the field of forensic expert activity is a qualitatively innovative model that contributes to proper governance by ensuring transparency, accountability, openness of activities in the public sector and developing recommendations for the modernization of public administration. In the context of the application of the system-functional approach, public administration in the field of forensic expert activity is a structural and comprehensive system aimed at providing assistance to the justice system of Ukraine in establishing the circumstances to be proven in a specific case by solving issues that require specific expertise in the field of science, technology, arts or crafts, and is intended to help improve the public sector (bodies of state administration and local self-government, representatives of the private sector and institutions of civil society) in general, taking into account the challenges of the times and the principles of civil society. The imperfection of the current legislation, which regulates forensic expert activity, is a significant factor that inhibits development. Currently, this direction needs improvement and systematic reformation taking into account international European standards and modern achievements of science and technology. It is necessary to lay the foundations of a complex, systematic approach to the creation of a single concept of public administration in the field of forensic expert activity, taking into account a number of modern heterogeneous directions of its development. We believe that the adoption of the law, which would take into account the issue of self-government of forensic experts and the formation of a unified legal framework, will allow to eliminate the existing contradictions. It is necessary to spread theoretical attempts to apply the categorical and instrumental apparatus of management to all aspects of the functioning of modern public administration in the field of forensic expert activity and bring it to the required level of perfection.
