La naturaleza de la criminalistica y sus disciplinas

Abstract

The treatment of physical evidence as an important aspect in criminology studies has been highly debated in the scientific literature, however, despite the attempts made in the process of building this fundamental element in criminology studies, there are still inaccuracies in the establishment of the necessary protocols for the correct handling of evidence in the specific context of the criminal acts; as well as in the subsequent treatment aimed at the objects obtained as part of the expert study, becoming evidence within an oral trial hearing, or simply strengthening the plausibility of an investigation and consequently of the theory of the case. From these precedents, an investigation is carried out whose objective is to contribute to the dissemination of the importance of the pertinent handling of physical evidence in the expert work, defending the idea that after a criminal act there may be a multiplicity of causes for which the physical evidence They can be varied and their clarification must start from the confluence between different scientific disciplines.
