Abstract
This article highlights the specifics of prosecutors’ assessments of the results of applying specialized knowledge in the form of forensic examinations during the investigation of crimes committed against individuals under the age of eighteen. An analysis of judicial, investigative, and expert practice allowed the author to demonstrate typical violations committed when ordering and conducting forensic examinations and propose solutions. Specifically, a survey and analysis of the results of surveys conducted among employees of prosecutorial agencies in 66 constituent entities of the Russian Federation contributed to the study’s objective—the development of specific, evidence-based recommendations for prosecutors’ assessments of the results of applying specialized knowledge in the form of forensic examinations during the investigation of these crimes.
