Forensic Entomology in Criminal Investigations: Examining Knowledge, Attitudes, and Barries Among Gendarmerie Crime Scene Personnel

Öz

Forensic entomology plays a crucial role in criminal investigations by providing valuable insights into the post-mortem interval, body relocation, and presence of drugs or poisons. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and barriers related to forensic entomology among crime scene personnel in the Gendarmerie Criminal Department of the Gendarmerie General Command in Türkiye. A questionnaire was administered to 314 individuals, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, t-tests, and one-way analyses of variance. The results indicated that age and education level did not significantly influence the participants' opinions on forensic entomology. However, individuals aged 36-45 exhibited lower resistance to change than other age groups. Participants from the Marmara region showed a lower need for information than those from the Mediterranean, Eastern, and Aegean regions. Most participants acknowledged the potential benefits, efficiency, and effectiveness of integrating forensic entomology into crime scene investigations. However, uncertainties were identified regarding the sufficiency of equipment, procedures for analyzing and reporting entomological data, and the potential of forensic entomological evidence to aid in criminal identification. These findings highlight the need for improvements in training, resources, and technical tools to enhance the implementation of forensic entomology in Türkiye. Recommendations include educating personnel, organizing training programs, equipping crime scene teams with the necessary tools, adopting current technology, expanding international collaboration, and establishing guidelines for standardizing entomological samples in crime scene investigations.
