Abstract

The purpose of the study is to identify prospective directions for the development of criminalistic knowledge in the production of confrontations involving minors. Research objectives: 1) to review the scientific ideas of Professor L.L. Kanevsky; 2) to analyze modern legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation on the status of a minor; 3) to highlight the importance of criminalistic knowledge on the methodology and tactics of confrontation involving minors; 4) to justify the use of digital technologies in obtaining the testimony of a minor in order to ensure safety during confrontation; 5) to highlight the importance of international standards of juvenile criminal procedure. Research methods: dialectical, historical-legal, comparative-legal. The article substantiates the opinion on the need for further in-depth analysis of the system of tactical procedural decisions when interrogating a minor. The criteria for the variability of testimony and the conditions for the use of video and sound recordings in confrontation are defined; tactical solutions are proposed for remote (via videoconference) confrontation involving a minor.
