Concepts and structural elements of the forensic method of crime investigation are considered. The role of operational investigative support in criminal proceedings is shown and a conclusion about the need to include it as a separate element in the structure of crime investigation methodology is made. It is proposed to include a list of the following structural elements in the investigation methodology of self-interested and violent crimes committed by minors: forensic classification and characteristics of crimes; identification of signs of a criminal offense and circumstances to be established at the primary stage of the investigation; typical investigative situations, versions and investigation planning; peculiarities of conducting investigative (search) actions and tactical operations; organizational and tactical features of the interaction of the investigator with the operational units during the operational and detective support of covert investigative (search) actions (discovery of evidentiary information, overcoming opposition to the investigation, ensuring the protection and safety of persons participating in criminal proceedings, searching for wanted persons); coordination activities of law enforcement agencies with state bodies, organizations, public associations and mass media regarding the prevention of criminal offenses. It was emphasized that the operational investigative support of criminal proceedings plays an important role when overcoming opposition to the investigation and organizing the safety of court and law enforcement officials, persons who provide assistance, contribute to investigative activities, persons participating in criminal proceedings, and their family members and close relatives of these persons.

It was concluded that separate methods of investigating self-interested and violent crimes committed by minors should be formed taking into account their classification. At the same time, it is worth focusing attention on those categories of self-interested and violent crimes that are most often committed by minors. To do this, it is necessary to analyze the judicial and investigative practice and find out what problems arise during their investigation. The formation of separate methods of investigating self-interested and violent crimes should be based on the information established in the basic method. During the development of separate methods of investigation of self-interested and violent crimes committed by minors, it is necessary to use the forensic classification of the specified crimes not only according to the criminal law criterion, but also according to the criminalistic one.
