In the article we have analyzed the value of criminalistic studying of the identity of the minor criminals committing mercenary violent crimes. The author considers the questions connected with a perspective of obtaining data on the identity of the minor. The author notes that it is necessary to study comprehensively the identity of the minor at investigation of a crime as it will increase the efficiency of the carried-out investigative actions and promotes the correct solution of problems of investigation and re-education of minor, and, eventually, to achievement of an ultimate goal of criminal legal proceedings. The author notes that a formal approach to the studying of the identity of the minor is not allowed, because it slows down the investigation. The analysis of problems, which the investigator meets, when collecting data on the minor and possible ways of their overcoming is carried out. The author notes that one of the pressing problems is the deficit of time for collecting necessary data on the identity of the minor. The author offered a system-structural approach to the criminalistic studying of the identity of minors, who committed mercenary violent crimes. The author of the article considers that criminalistic significant data on the identity of the minor criminal committing mercenary violent crimes can help at the establishment of important information for the criminal case, namely specify interrelation between social psychological, biological properties of the identity of the minor criminal: to track displays of specific qualities of the identity of the minor by preparation, commission and concealment of traces of the crime; on the basis of received data to develop a system of standard versions about the person who committed a crime, on the basis of information to hold the operational search events directed on the identification of the minor criminal. The author notes that in practice in the materials of criminal cases on mercenary violent crimes there are limited data on personal features of minors. So, the structure of the characteristics made by pedagogical workers on minor accomplices is typical. The references and characteristics represented by inspectors of PDN are made in most cases formally. The author of article makes a conclusion that limitation of data on personal features of minors can be eliminated only by association of professional efforts from bodies of preliminary investigation, inspectors on affairs of minors, the commissions on affairs of minors and protection of their rights, psychologists, social teachers
