科学、技术与社会(STS)视野下的刑事技术初探

Preliminary Analysis on Forensic Science in Relation to STS-Science, Technology and Society

当前的刑事技术研究大多着眼于具体技术应用,而对刑事技术本质、特点等方面的研究较少。本文从科学、技术与社会(STS)的视角对刑事技术进行分析,在简要阐述科学、技术与社会历史演进的基础上,分析了刑事技术与这三者的双向互动关系,并进一步从宏观上揭示了刑事技术的本质和特征。本文旨在为刑事技术的科学研究和发展提供思路,为宏观管理提供新的参考。

Forensic science researches mostly focus on the application of specifc technologies, causing quite few to pay attentions to their essence or characteristics and other aspects. This paper tries to analyze forensic science from the insight of STS （science, technology and society）. Based on the historical evolution of STS, the interactions are separate to elucidate between the forensic science and each part of STS. Furthermore, the essence and characteristics of forensic science are macroscopical to reveal. Therefore, new ideas are herewith to conclude on providing the forensic science researches and technical development with some novel references for the macro-management about forensic science.
