Abstract
The article shows the importance of forming methodological recommendations, crime investigation practice, stable relationship between two measured values or variables (correlations), expressed in statistical form, for forensic science. It indicates their consideration based on the results of empirical studies and in forming forensic characteristics, which play a leading role in determining (adjusting) the directions of investigation, especially in periods of absence of initial information. According to the author, in order to give correlations practical significance in the formation of forensic characteristics of an investigation, their scientific foundations should be introduced into the fundamental field of criminology: to consider the concept, essence, types, correlation relations, the importance of correlation analysis for criminology and investigative practice. The author concludes that correlation analysis in criminology should include the following techniques: 1) construction of a correlation field and compilation of a correlation table; 2) calculation of sample correlation ratios or correlation coefficients; 3) testing the statistical hypothesis of the significance of the connection
