The article examines the organization and tactics of conducting and engaging a specialist to interrogate minors who have suffered from violent crimes. The purpose of involving a specialist is to help the investigator obtain reliable testimony using games, fairy tales, and other behavioral methods. It has been established that the main function of a psychologist when interrogating a minor victim is to apply psychological knowledge to establish contact with the minor, to ask him questions correctly and correctly, to ensure the optimal emotional state of the interrogated person, to protect his mental health from the traumatic effect of an unusual situation for him.
Studying the norms of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, it was found that the legal status of teachers and psychologists is insufficiently regulated in investigative (search) actions. It was determined that the norms do not contain an exhaustive list of the rights and responsibilities of a teacher (psychologist), the tasks to be solved by specialists, the requirements for such participants in the investigative (search) action, information on the compensation of specialists for the costs associated with their participation in the interrogation, information about who should be invited as a teacher (psychologist) and, finally, the law does not clarify in which specific cases a teacher is invited, and in which - a psychologist, and in which - both.
