Abstract: For a long time study of papillary patterns was performed within the dactylography framework, and it often dealt with the issues of dermal glyphic studies  From 1996 on the forensic science started to use the term "forensic dermal glyphic studies" as a new vector in forensic teachings on traces. Based upon the analysis of scientific views the author offers a definition of forensic dermal glyphic studies, he also views the perspectives of its application in order to characterize the behavior of a suspect or an accused, to describe the look of an unknown person, to establish pathological characteristics of human bodies in the process of identifying an unclaimed dead body.  It is proven that the modern dermal glyphic methods allows to deal with the issues bordering psycho-physiological studies and psychiatry, and it allows to establish a new direction in forensic and medical dermal glyphic studies "psycho-dermal-glyphic studies".

Abstract: It is shown that currently the criminals legalize unlawfully obtained card via various falsifications in the sphere of registration, customs clearance and transfer of proprietary rights to a vehicle.  There are more and more cases when the automobiles are sold with fully counterfeit vehicle registration documents, as well as cases of unlawful changes in such documents.  The main means of counterfeiting are erasure, etching, washing, adding of information, drawing, and falce information is usually provided on the year when an automobile was produced, engine volume, date of registration, and date of registration closure. In cases when an automobile was used for personal needs, special marks are destroyed. The authors analyze the practice of assigning and holding judicial technical and forensic expertises of vehicle registration passports. Knowledge of these means of falcification is necessary when holding visual examination in the process of registration and verification of documents on the road by the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate officers, and it may be helpful for the buyers of vehicles.
