摘要

非致命武器（LLW）是用来产生疼痛或丧失能力的装置，死亡风险较小。本研究使用了国家法医医学研究所（INMLCF）的数据，重点研究了2017年至2021年期间哥伦比亚非致命武器造成的损伤。材料和方法在对INMLCF的临床记录和法医尸检进行审查的基础上，进行了一项回顾性横断面描述性研究。结果共发现4900例，受害者以年轻男性居多，以警棍和动能弹丸为主。最常见的伤害是瘀斑和四肢和面部的伤口，记录了5起与使用不太致命的武器有关的死亡。结论：研究结果强调，由于LLW可能造成严重和致命伤害，因此需要加强对其使用的监管和培训。

Caracterización forense de las lesiones causadas por armas menos letales en Colombia (2017–2021)

Introduction

Less than lethal weapons (LLW) are devices used to produce pain or inability with less risk of death. This study focuses on lesions caused by less than lethal weapons in Colombia between 2017 and 2021, by using data from Instituto Nacional de Medicina Legal y Ciencias Forenses (INMLCF).

Materials and methods

A retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out based on the review of clinical records and medical-legal autopsies of the INMLCF.

Results

Were found 4,900 cases, revealing that the majority of victims were young men, mainly affected by police batons and kinetic impact projectiles. The most common injuries were ecchymosis and wounds on the extremities and face, and five deaths related to the use of less lethal weapons were documented.
