Abstract

Böceklerin adli amaç için kullanımı olan adli entomoloji olay yeri incelemelerinde oldukça artan bir öneme sahiptir. Böcekler ölümden sonra cesede hemen ulaşırlar ve yumurtlarlar. Adli entomolog suçları çözmek için böcek bilgisini kullanır ve böcek delilleri suçun farklı yönlerine ışık tutabilirler. Bu bilim dalı gelişmiş ülkelerde önemli disiplin olarak ortaya çıkmış ve yasal soruşturmalardaki rolü yaygınlaşmıştır. Günümüzde adli entomologlar uzmanlıklarından yararlanmak, işbirliklerine başvurmak üzere adli araştırmalara çağrılmakta ve adli araştırma ekibinin önemli bir kısmını oluşturmaktadırlar. Ne yazık ki Türkiye’ de adli entomolojinin suç araştırmalarda önemli bir araç olarak kullanımı yeterince dikkat çekmemiştir. Ülkemizde adli entomolojinin uygulaması hakkında bilgi eksikliği ve tereddütlerin olmasından kaynaklanan belirsizlikler vardır. Bu çalışma adli entomoloji ilkelerini ve içeriğini tanımlamak, böcek delillerinin uygulama alanlarını, faydalarını belirlemek, böceklerin farkındalığını arttırmak ve adli tıp profesyonellerin ilgisini bu alana çekmeyi amaçlamıştır.

Abstract

Forensic entomology is the use of the insects in legal purposes is becoming increasingly more valuable in criminal investigations. Insects are attracted to the body immediately after death and lay eggs in it. Forensic entomologist use knowledge of insect to solve crimes and insect evidences may shed light on different aspects of the crimes. This science emerged as a major discipline in the developed countries and its role in criminal investigations became more widespread. Nowadays, forensic entomologists are called upon more frequently to refer their knowledge and expertise and to collaborate in criminal investigations and to become important part of forensic investigation teams. Unfortunately, it has not received much attention in Turkey as an important investigative tool. In spite of this major potential, however, the field of forensic entomology uncertain in our country, largely. There are lack of knowledge of the benefits, application and hesitation on practically in our country. This study aims to describe the principles and concept of forensic entomology, to determine the usefulness and applicability of insect evidence, to develop awareness of insect and to attract attention of forensic medicine professionals to the issue.
