Abstract
Neste artigo s?o exploradas as narrativas dos inspetores da Polícia Judiciária (PJ) relativamente aos processos de vigil?ncia e identifica??o de suspeitos de crime. Recorrendo a uma perspetiva teórico-metodológica do tipo interpretativo e qualitativo, deseja-se mapear o sentido e compreender o significado que os inspetores da PJ atribuem às suas práticas no decurso da investiga??o criminal. A aplica??o da ciência e da tecnologia na investiga??o criminal exige uma reflex?o em torno dos impactos que estas acarretam. Apesar do potencial uso da ciência e tecnologia na investiga??o criminal, confrontamo-nos com uma série de obstáculos que nos demonstram os limites deste processo de cientifiza??o. As novas tecnologias de recolha e manuseamento de informa??o sobre suspeitos e condenados por crime complementam os meios tradicionais de investiga??o criminal, criando-se assim uma figura híbrida do detetive policial.
In this paper we explore the narratives of the Portuguese Criminal Investigation Police (Polícia Judiciária) about surveillance and identification aimed at crime suspects. Through an interpretive and
qualitative theoretical-methodological perspective, we aim to understand the views of these agents concerning police practices of criminal investigation. The application of scientific knowledge and the
technology to criminal investigation requires a reflection of its impacts. Despite the potential use of science and technology in criminal investigation, we face a set of obstacles that shows the limits of this scientificization process. The new technologies of collection and use of information about suspects and convicted offenders complement the traditional means of criminal investigation, thus creating a hybrid figure of detective.
