Abstract

Can we predict a profile of risk in the forensic science? Can we estimate his problematic factors? Can we avoid not wished consequences? Can we identify his implied actors? Can we expose an idea of work for the risk evaluation in the forensic science? Is it possible to extrapolate methodology of intelligence for his use in the forensic science? And the forensic science, can it intervene and contribute in turn with the intelligence? Of what way can it infer the forensic science and his disciplines associated in the intelligence? The present work reveals that the intelligence constitutes one more route in the study of the forensic science, the knowledge combined between two scientific disciplines, his methodological reciprocity, his «beginning of doctrinal exchange», preventive projection can contribute respect of a threat, a risk, any type of uncertainty or simply, propose actions directed to avoiding the devaluation of a system in his multiple variants. Neither nothing nor nobody is exempt from a problematic factor, from a problematic situation or from an actor or actors tied to the above mentioned factor or uncertain situation. In sum, the intelligence is obtained of the information and serves in the short term for the operative functional improvement or of the activity of the own forensic science. In the long term, it serves for the strategic planning that is based on the Concepts more acquaintances: weaknesses, threats, strengths and opportunities (DAFO).

In this planning, an important factor to bearing in mind are the strategic alliances with other institutions. In the forensic science there is forced mentioned the agreement of collaboration established by means of the Royal decree 32/2009, of January 16, by which there is approved the medical forensic protocol of action and of scientific police in events by multiple victims,  what marks a milestone in the multidisciplinary teamwork with a clear aim of improvement of the procedures and that should continue progressing in more aspects and tipologías criminal (terrorism, organized crime, violent crimes etc.). This work constitutes one more contribution in this initiated way.
