A crime scene investigation is a criminal procedural action that is conducted according to established principles of criminology. This paper will present the key aspects that permeate first the criminal procedural, and then the criminal investigation activity when conducting a crime scene investigation. Criminal procedural principles determine the legal framework and conditions under which the subjects conducting the crime scene investigation can apply certain criminal-tactical and technical methods. Aspects of a crime scene investigation in procedural matters can most often be related to direct observation, while the criminal impression also includes the prescribed criminal measures and actions necessary to establish the facts. This paper aims to present the key aspects of a crime scene investigation in the Republic of Serbia, the current legislation of the countries in the region (Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia), with a special focus on the similarities and differences in terms of reconstruction and forensic experiment. The evidentiary value of a crime scene investigation as an evidentiary tool is immense. The goal of this evidentiary action is to discover and collect evidence of the existence of a criminal offense, confirm facts and information, find clues about important facts related to the criminal offense and the criminal liability of the defendant, and verify the credibility of other evidence. Therefore, it is very important to conduct the crime scene investigation, as an urgent action, in a timely and professional manner. Sažetak: Uviđaj je dokazna radnja koja se preduzima kada je neposredno opažanje od strane procesnih organa neophodno radi utvrđivanja ili potvrđivanja određene činjenice u postupku. Uviđaj predstavlja krivičnoprocesnu radnju koja se sprovodi u skladu sa utvrđenim principima kriminalistike. U radu će biti predstavljeni ključni aspekti koji prožimaju najpre krivičnoprocesnu, a zatim i kriminalističku delatnost prilikom vršenja uviđaja. Krivičnoprocesna načela određuju pravni okvir i uslove pod kojima subjekti koji sprovode uviđaj mogu primenjivati određene kriminalističkotaktičke i tehničke metode. Aspekti uviđaja u procesnom smislu najčešće se odnose na neposredno opažanje, dok kriminalistička obrada obuhvata i propisane kriminalističke mere i radnje neophodne za utvrđivanje činjenica. Cilj rada jeste da se prikažu ključni aspekti uviđaja u Republici Srbiji, kao i važeća zakonska rešenja u državama regiona (Bosna i Hercegovina i Hrvatska), sa posebnim osvrtom na sličnosti i razlike u pogledu rekonstrukcije i forenzičkog eksperimenta. Dokazna vrednost uviđaja kao dokaznog sredstva je izuzetno velika. Cilj ove dokazne radnje jeste otkrivanje i prikupljanje dokaza o postojanju krivičnog dela, potvrđivanje činjenica i informacija, pronalaženje tragova o bitnim činjenicama u vezi sa krivičnim delom i krivičnom odgovornošću okrivljenog, kao i proveravanje verodostojnosti drugih dokaza. Stoga je od izuzetne važnosti da se uviđaj, kao hitna radnja, sprovede blagovremeno i stručno. eng srp application/pdf 225361 bytes 2025 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:9065 doi:10.51738/kpolisa.2025.3r.002 ISSN: 1820-4589 Keywords: Crime scene investigation, criminal process, forensics, reconstruction, forensic experiment, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
