The Hotbed of Field Criminalistics «CRIMINAL ANALYSIS» It is established as a research and practical application space dedicated to the study of the techniques and methodologies used in criminal investigation in the field. In an environment where crime and criminality present constant challenges to public safety, this hotbed is presented as a place to develop technical and scientific skills at the crime scene.
Made up of students and professionals interested in the field of justice and criminal investigation, the incubator aims to contribute to the development of capabilities in the field of criminology, train future experts in the collection and analysis of evidence, and promote investigative practices. ethical and effective.
In the Field Criminalistics Seedbed "CRIMINAL ANALYSIS", relevant topics such as the preservation of the crime scene, the collection and analysis of physical evidence, the reconstruction of criminal events and the use of forensic technology in criminal investigation will be addressed. Through practical exercises and simulations of crime scenes, we will seek to develop observation, analysis and teamwork skills, fundamental for success in criminal investigation.
Training in Criminal Investigation Techniques: Provide theoretical and practical training in criminal investigation techniques, including crime scene preservation, evidence collection and forensic documentation.
Development of Forensic Analysis Skills: Develop skills in the analysis of physical and biological evidence collected at crime scenes, using modern forensic tools and techniques.
Application of Technology in Criminal Investigation: Familiarize participants with the use of forensic technology, such as DNA analysis, forensic ballistics, and fingerprint analysis, to strengthen criminal investigation capabilities.
The Field Criminology Seedbed is based on solid conceptual and theoretical bases in the field of criminology, which include:
