- Abstract
The scientific literature highlights various aspects of investigative (search) actions, but this study focuses on their psychological description, which currently has not been developed sufficiently. The study of the psychological description of investigative (search) actions contributes to revealing their essence and to identifying the psychological processes in the course of forensically relevant information handling. Accordingly, the development of criminological recommendations, which consider psychological data, contributes to the effective implementation of the objectives of criminal proceedings. From the operational perspective, the psychological description of investigative (search) actions is revealed through cognitive, constructive, communicative, organizational and verifying components. The psychological description of investigative (search) actions is affected by the problematic situations that arise in the investigative activity. The key ones are: the lack of time and the need to act within the established investigation time frame; the urgency of some investigative (search) actions; the negative emotions as a result of the need to communicate with unscrupulous participants in criminal proceedings; the need to apply a range of measures to overcome resistance against investigations; the conflicts and the difficulty of resolving them; an inadequate level of logistics and the need to improve the organization of activities; a decline in the authority and credibility of law enforcement personnel; a negative attitude of citizens towards assistance and cooperation with law enforcement bodies, etc. The psychological description of investigative (search) actions provides for general objective psychological regularities and takes into account individual specificities expressed in the course of practical activities of investigative and other competent actors.
