This study aimed to present a prototype system to assist the scientific police to identify criminals. This is a descriptive applied research, with a qualitative approach using the hypothetical-deductive method; developed during the specialization course in Criminal Forensics, in Brazil. The subjects of the study to form the database were extracted from documents published by the Department of Public Safety. Although recognizing that it is not always possible to accurately identify the causal relationship of a particular crime and suspect, the work of the scientific police is of great importance for the resolution of crimes in our society. In order for the work of this important police force to succeed, it is necessary, in addition to the diagnosis concluded through analysis and collection of traces, a computer program that is capable of integrating all the information and traces that were collected during the scientific investigation and offers an investigation and, consequently, giving greater support to the causal link between crimes and suspects. Crime is a social problem, for this it is necessary to invest in information and discuss / negotiate ways to deal with it, sustaining the possibility of reducing the burden of society and the maintenance of justice.
