Psychological Peculiarities of Interrogation Tactics of Vulnerable Victims in Criminal Proceedings
Abstract
Abstract. The purpose of the article is to highlight the tactical and psychological aspects of interrogation of vulnerable victims. Methodology. The methodological toolkit was chosen in accordance with the defined goal, the specifics of the object and the subject of research. To solve the tasks and achieve the goal, a set of methods and techniques of scientific knowledge were applied, which allowed to comprehensively investigate the object of research. Methods of formal logic (analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, analogy, abstraction) made it possible to understand the content of the issues in more detail. Special legal methods were used in the research: comparative legal - during the analysis of norms of national legislation, scientific categories, definitions and approaches; the method of system analysis - for a comprehensive generalization of tactical techniques during the interrogation of vulnerable victims. Scientific works of foreign and Ukrainian authors, who directly or indirectly conducted research on issues related to the definition of the concept of "vulnerable victims", as well as forensic recommendations regarding them, were the means of scientific research. The scientific novelty consists in distinguishing the concept of "vulnerable victims" and researching the psychological features of interrogation with their participation. Conclusions. The need to expand the scope of application of the NISHD protocol was noted not only during the interrogation of minors, but also during the implementation of this investigative (search) action with the participation of persons who fall under the category of "vulnerable".
Keywords: criminal proceedings; forensic tactics; criminalistics; tactical reception; interrogation; vulnerable victims; international recommendations.
