Examination questions
- What type of specialist knowledge is required for the question asked?
- Which source objects and materials are listed in the report?
- Is their description sufficient for a preliminary assessment of the task?
The suggested wording is a starting point. Before agreeing the task, establish which objects are available, which features can be examined and the result format needed. An excessively broad question is better divided into several verifiable tasks.
What to prepare
- Situation description without transferring dangerous objects
- Procedural documents
- Existing report and appendices
Scope and limitations
In Russia, forensic ballistics examinations in criminal cases and during verification of crime reports are assigned to state forensic organisations. This website does not offer their performance by a private expert.
Missing materials should be identified in advance. If they are insufficient, this may change the scope, require additional objects or prevent an answer. A disputing party's assumption is not itself a specialist examination result.
Before work begins
The subject, questions, object access, personnel, result format, timing and cost are agreed separately. Before work starts, you receive the agreed question list, cost and timeframe.
