Avanços tecnológicos e métodos recentes na ciência forense: uma análise sistemática e revisão bibliométrica

Abstract

Innovation, automation, and improvement are intrinsic parts of forensic science. It is because of these factors that thousands of cold cases have been reopened and successfully resolved. The development of nanometric techniques further contributes to the identification of traces and prevention against crime. The amount of research carried out in recent years has grown significantly, determining the future of these new areas and the procedure followed by the police team. The creation of wireless devices allows professionals the ability to obtain very accurate results, avoiding contamination of samples due to the analysis being performed at the site of interest, without further disturbance. For this reason, decision-making happens when recognizing the importance of each trace found. This work seeks to bring together the main categories in development, their techniques and applications through a systematic analysis of the literature, using the Proknow-C method. The deeper the knowledge about human nature and its environment, the greater the success in solving criminal cases.
