摘要

法医学是在特定背景下由社会构建的,对全球南部国家而言具有显著的挑战性。本研究探讨了东帝汶政府与澳大利亚政府通过东帝汶警察发展计划达成的双边协议下的法医能力发展。数据是通过国内实地考察、观察和对两国关键人员的访谈收集的。研究结果表明,东帝汶取得了切实进展,包括建立了法医指纹实验室,开展了从犯罪现场到法庭的指纹专业知识培训,并参与了创新实践。这些进展使领导者和从业人员对法医能力的潜力持乐观态度。然而,人们也对以下问题表示担忧:成就的不稳定性、法医团队内外持续培训和发展的必要性、机构间合作潜力的未开发性以及其他人力资源方面的考虑。研究结果表明,需要组织承诺和持续的高质量伙伴关系,以保持发展势头和促进长期可持续性。

Forensic science capacity development: A case study of Timor-Leste

Forensic science is socially constructed within particular contexts, with notable challenges for countries of the Global South. This study explored forensic capacity development taking place under a bilateral agreement between the governments of Timor-Leste and Australia through the Timor-Leste Police Development Program. Data were collected through in-country site visits, observations, and interviews with key personnel from both countries. The findings indicate tangible developments, including the establishment of a forensic fingerprint laboratory, training in fingerprint expertise from crime scene to court, and engagement in innovative practices. These developments contribute to optimism amongst leaders and practitioners about the potential for forensic capacity. However, concerns exist about the precariousness of achievements, the need for continued training and development within and beyond the forensic team, untapped potential for inter-agency collaboration, and other human resource considerations. The findings suggest a need for organisational commitment and ongoing high-quality partnerships to maintain momentum and facilitate long-term sustainability.
