The categories of the direct and the indirect can be classified as paired. The author applied standard and interdisciplinary research methods to the direct and the indirect as criminalistic categories. The article is a review that investigates the direct and the indirect through the subject of criminology; it is an attempt to define their signs as paired categories of criminology. The resulting theoretical and practical rationale of the correlation between the direct and the indirect in criminology reveals the methodological and subject-practical levels. Investigative and judicial practice prove that the direct and the indirect manifest themselves as tandem phenomena in the process of forensic cognition; therefore, they are paired categories of criminology. This conclusion is of great practical importance in criminal investigation and court trials, especially in the sphere of crimes against environment.
