Fingerprints found at a crime scene can be key in criminal investigations. A method to accurately determine the age of the fingerprint, potentially crucial to linking the fingerprint to the crime, is not available at ...
Traces of condom lubricants in fingerprints can be valuable information in cases of sexual assault. Ideally, not only confirmation of the presence of the condom but also determination of the type of condom brand used ...
Fingerprints are widely used in forensic science for individualization purposes. However, not every fingermark found at a crime scene is suitable for comparison, for instance due to distortion of ridge detail, or ...
Fingermarks are highly relevant in criminal investigations for individualization purposes. In some cases, the question in court changes from ‘Who is the source of the fingermarks?’ to ‘How did the ...
The amino acid profile obtained from a fingerprint may provide valuable information on its donor. Unfortunately, the collection of chemicals from the fingerprint is often destructive to the fingerprint ridge detail. ...
Crime scene investigations are accompanied by cognitive challenges. Introducing technologies at crime scenes requires research into the human factor. Mobile technologies can impede the investigation without studying ...
UPLC-MS is a commonly used technique to first separate complex samples and subsequently quantify molecules of interest. Herein we describe the use of UPLC-MS using an amide stationary phase to quantify ...
A large body of research has described the influence of context information on forensic decision-making. In this study, we examined the effect of context information on the search for and selection of traces by ...
Mobile Rapid DNA technology is close to being incorporated into crime scene investigations, with the potential to identify a perpetrator within hours. However, the use of these techniques entails the risk of losing ...
This study replicates previous research that investigated the influence of rapid identification information on the interpretation of a crime scene conducted with English crime scene investigators (CSIs). Given the ...
DNA-onderzoek is één van de belangrijkste vormen van forensisch onderzoek ten behoeve van opsporing, bewijsvoering en vervolging van strafbare feiten. De juiste herkenning, selectie en bemonstering van ...
In this paper, we describe a promising method to evaluate the location of fingermarks on two-dimensional objects, which provides valuable information for the evaluation of fingermarks at activity level. For this ...
In this study, we examined how the provision of contextual informa- tion and the ability to ask questions and obtain feedback affected mock investigators' interpretation of a crime scene. Participants were randomly ...
The amino acid profile obtained from a fingerprint may provide valuable information on its donor. For forensic scientists, recovering evidence relating to the amino acid profile of a suspect can potentially be ...
Ons dagelijks leven is enorm gedigitaliseerd en verweven met het internet. Deze ontwikkeling biedt allerlei nieuwe mogelijkheden voor het plegen van criminaliteit. Cybercriminaliteit is volgens McAfee1 een growth ...
Fingermark evidence is extensively used in criminal investigations. Hence, there have been many investigations into the chemical compounds present in fingerprint deposits. In this technical note we describe the ...
Mobiele identificatietechnieken maken het in de nabije toekomst mogelijk DNA- en vingersporen tijdens een lopend forensisch sporenonderzoek snel te analyseren, te vergelijken met referentiemonsters, en de resultaten ...
Crime scenes can always be explained in multiple ways. Traces alone do not provide enough information to infer a whole series of events that has taken place; they only provide clues for these inferences. CSIs need ...
New technologies will allow Crime Scene Investigators (CSIs) in the near future to analyse traces at the crime scene and receive identification information while still conducting the investigation. These developments ...
Rapid DNA analysis has been standard procedure for years in the well-known series ‘CSI’ to identify perpetrators within hours. Although this series is clearly fiction, it is possible that ...
