Abstract

The Civil Police of Minas Gerais (PCMG) uses information about the execution of expert reports to support the corporation's actions. Despite the relevance of this data in decision-making, forensics experts currently extract and manipulate data manually. This work proposes and develops an application that allows experts to obtain and analyze consolidated data on criminal expert reports with less effort. The methodological approach was the Design Science Research - DSR. The research was prescriptive and generated an artifact as a proof of concept of the system. The quantitative approach was used in the analysis of the results. The results were satisfactory, and the developed artifact reduced the problem in the real context it had been designed.

Keywords: Decision support system, DSR, criminal expert reports
