In addition, the theory of Alessandro Barrata was criticized by the Criminology School, where the ultimate aim was to reduce the "ideology of social defense" 1, which was substantiated through the general principles of the penal system (the principles Of good and evil, of guilt, of equality, of social interest and of natural crime, of the end or of prevention.)

The intention to use these criminological theories is based on the intention to demonstrate that these theories are determinant for the application of the protocols created by the institute of legal medicine.
