La importancia de la balística y la química forense en la consecución de información para la creación de la teoría de un caso

Abstract

In this document the concepts of Ballistics and Forensic Chemistry are explained, according to their importance in obtaining information for the creation of the theory of a case, taking into account that both fundamental tools when it comes to clarifying a criminal act in that involved firearms, explosives or chemical substances. The application of techniques to determine traces of gunpowder on hands, clothing and other elements, the design of elements belonging to firearms, projectiles and shells, the determination of the distance to which a shooting and other events, can account for and largely explain a sequence of events at a crime scene. In the same way, the techniques provided by chemistry can help determine if there really are traces of gunpowder on a surface, the type of gunpowder used, the type of explosives used in a criminal act, the type of bottle of different types of chemical substances etc.; what often became a complement to the forensic ballistics at the time of issuing a concept in response to a request made to
