Abstract

This paper analyzes the interaction among three different ways of acquiring Criminalistc knowledge: informal, non-formal and formal education. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out with the students from Forensic Scientists Professional Training Course (PTC) of Civil Police Academy Sylvio Terra (ACADEPOL-PCERJ), as well with the Higher Education and High School students who were applying for mini-courses in Criminalistics. Through 202 questionnaires, it was clearly detected an informal-formal educational cycle: Movies and TV series have been increasing the number of interested people in Criminalistics. Students from formal education grasp some knowledge

through the media: this channel could be used as well in High School as an interdisciplinary and contextual technique to lecture about natural sciences and, in Higher Education, used to promote course and habilitation establishment in Criminalistics. In conclusion, it is expected a better formation as conscious citizens and an increase in the number of graduated students interested in this field.
