Abstract
This article explores the application of digital information in the context of natural and technical sciences within the framework of criminology. The authors consider various aspects for search and cognitive activity in the framework of criminology in order to identify the effectiveness of the integration of digital information and digitalization in general within the framework of natural and technical sciences. The arguments about the prospects of digital information in law enforcement are given. The authors rely on modern research by prominent scientists and come to the conclusion that there is no alternative to the need for further deep integration of digital tools into criminalistics.
