Abstract

It has been established that the development of information and telecommunications technologies has produced a large number of traces in various electronic devices, computer networks and elements of their infrastructure, which must be used to establish the circumstances of the criminal act committed and the person involved. Emphasis has been placed on the fact that the circumstances causing the most significant problems in the detection and investigation of criminal offences committed by cellular means include, first of all, the complex mechanism of investigation, which requires the development of fundamentally different methods and means of their research. The methodological basis of the study is a set of general scientific and special methods and techniques of scientific knowledge, among them logic-semantic, statistical, abstraction, analysis, synthesis, analogy, abstraction and modelling. The nature and content of the traces of criminal offences committed by means of cellular communications have been clarified. The traces of a criminal offences committed by cellular means are classified into two types: traditional traces (physical traces in the form of traces-displays, traces of substances, traces-objects, also ideal traces, are considered by a trace) and non-raditional in the form of electronic (computer) footprints. Electronic copying of information is considered as a cognitive technique that can be used when inspecting a cellular communication means. The study of the possibilities of using electronic footprints, Big-data, technologies of working with them in criminal proceedings opens up new horizons for further development of forensics and its practical application in the light of realities. The specific organizational, tactical and procedural aspects of detecting and recovering traces of criminal offences committed using electronic media have been clarified; As a result, proposals have been formulated to improve the method of conducting inspections of mobile devices, in particular with regard to the involvement of a specialist; The use of the necessary specialized technical means for the collection of intelligence and the like
