Criminalistics, the science the main task of which is the preparation and implementation of crime investigation, detection and prevention methods and measures, plays an important role in the realization of such objectives.
Criminalistic science is developing constantly, opportunities of criminalistics are increasing and the most perfect and effectual scientific technologies are penetrating the crime investigation field. Nowadays the object of criminalistic research is not limited only by the development of technical measures, methods and recommendations and their implementation in the process of crime investigation. The process of criminal act’s genesis is important in the criminalistic point of view. During the process the circumstances and factors weighted and the
commitment a crime are shown.
Since 1 May 2003 the new Criminal Procedure Code of Lithuania has been in force. It raised quite a lot of theoretical and methodological tasks for criminalistic science.
It is necessary to solve the issues of theoretical and practical backgrounds of criminalistic prophylactic task, because there are no direct prophylactic juridical norms in the new Criminal Procedure Code. So, further formulated methodological backgrounds of criminalistic information should be specified.
Developing the perception of the nature of criminalistic science both changes definition of criminalistic information, which context should fit the object and context of criminalistic science. Criminalistic information describes the circumstances of a criminal act, its mechanism and separate regularities of crime commitment. Criminalistic information describes both circumstances weighted crime commitment because such circumstances are the circumstances of a criminal event.
Criminalistic information regarding the circumstances weighted crime commitment could be received from different sources both in procedural and non-procedural forms.

Research reveals the opportunities of pretrial investigation for reception of criminalistic information, which is important for crime prophylaxis. The authors specify the definition of criminalistic information according to the development of the implementation of opportunities of criminalistic science. Examination is based on empirical research, which pretrial investigation activities officers carry out in order to receive the information concerning the causes and conditions and to reveal the commitment of crime.
The results of the interview of pretrial investigation officers, accomplished in 2005, are analysed in our study. The present pretrial investigation practice in Lithuania (practice of the accomplishment of pretrial investigation activities during which criminalistic information regarding circumstances weighted criminal event’s commitment) was evaluated during this interview. Three hundred and ninety-nine respondents took part in research.
