Resumo
A utilização de métodos científicos e tecnológicos no tratamento de infrações penais apresenta-se como uma preocupação central da criminologia contemporânea. Numerosos estudiosos estudaram extensivamente vários aspectos das práticas técnicas e forenses, como o exame de vestígios criminais, contabilidade forense, organização e estrutura legal que rege a aplicação de conhecimento especializado e o uso de automação e tecnologia de computador. Sem dúvida, os especialistas em armas possuem maior proficiência na coleta de evidências, devido à sua experiência em detectar, reparar e proteger armas, bem como examinar vestígios pertinentes e outras características relacionadas às armas que podem iludir os investigadores, sem conhecimento suficiente neste domínio. Consequentemente, a colaboração entre criminalistas e especialistas em armas assume um papel crítico na otimização do processo de investigação criminal. O objetivo principal deste artigo é elucidar as características distintivas associadas à aplicação da ciência das armas na investigação de infrações penais. Além disso, procura delinear caminhos para aumentar a eficácia das abordagens científicas e tecnológicas na detecção e investigação de infrações penais. Ao fazer isso, este estudo visa identificar domínios-chave em que essas possibilidades podem ser efetivamente realizadas. Metodologia. Durante este estudo, os autores empregaram uma variedade de metodologias de pesquisa para estudar e processar dados. Essas metodologias englobavam indução, dedução, análise, síntese de informações, abordagens sistêmicas e estruturais, análise comparativa, análise lógica e linguística, abstração e idealização. Além disso, para identificar aspectos cruciais do processo de investigação de infrações penais, os autores realizaram uma pesquisa por questionário online. Resultados. Com base nos resultados do estudo, os autores discernem as facetas teóricas primordiais associadas à utilização da ciência das armas de fogo. Além disso, eles examinam as perspectivas de juristas e criminalistas praticantes sobre os elementos fundamentais pertinentes à aplicação da ciência das armas na investigação de crimes.
