Accurate and efficient identification have become a vital requirement for forensic application due to diversities of criminal activities. A recent advancement in biometric technology which is equipped with computational intelligence techniques is replacing manual identification approaches in forensic science. Biometrics is a fundamental verification mechanism that identifies individuals on the ...

Forensic sciences include a wide spectrum of different disciplines, which are applied individually or collectively in order to obtain answers to questions within a legal context. A forensic dentist can reliably establish the identity of an individual by analysing the teeth and the oral cavity. The study of teeth and the surrounding tissues of the oral cavity for the purpose of establishing the ...

The discovery of hypervariable minisatellite deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) by Jeffreys and co-workers in 1985 provided forensic scientists with a means of discriminating between individuals that was many orders of magnitude greater than the traditional methods used before that date. Probably themost important forensic application of DNA profiling is in the identification of rapists. The original ...

The ground-breaking report on forensic science by the National Academy of Sciences— Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward—raised numerous issues. One dominant theme that runs throughout the Report is the failure of some forensic science disciplines to comport with fundamental scientific principles—in particular, to support claims with empirical research. This essay...

Forensie science is synthetic, depending on all the other sciences for development of its basic techniques, and it is original chiefly in that it adapts the techniques of other sciences to its unique and specialized uses. One of its major branches, criminalistics, does have a special aim which is not the same as that of other applied sciences, namely the individualization of a sample of evidenc...

Faculty Of Science & Technology Islamic Science University Of Malaysia Summary With the proliferation of the digital crime around the world, numerous digital forensic investigation models already being develop .In fact many of the digital forensic investigation model focus on technical implementation of the investigation process as most of it develop by traditional forensic expert and technolog...

The development of live forensic acquisition in general presents a remedy for some of the problems introduced by traditional forensic acquisition. However, this live forensic acquisition introduces a variety of additional problems, unique to this discipline. This paper presents current research with regards to the forensic soundness of evidence retrieved through live forensic acquisition. The r...

The present article reviews the applications of CE in forensic science covering the period from 2001 until the first part of 2005. The overview includes the most relevant examples of analytical applications of capillary electrophoretic and electrokinetic techniques in the following fields: (i) Forensic drugs and poisons, (ii) explosive analysis and gunshot residues, (iii) small ions of forensic...

Abstract This article examines the role that vernacular notions of racialized-regional difference play in the constitution and stabilization of DNA populations in Colombian forensic science, in what we frame as a process of public science. In public science, the imaginations of the scientific world and common-sense public knowledge are integral to the production and circulation of science itsel...

Introduction The applications of microscopy in the forensic sciences are almost limitless. This is due in large measure to the ability of microscopes to detect, resolve and image the smallest items of evidence, often without alteration or destruction. As a result, microscopes have become nearly indispensable in all forensic disciplines involving the natural sciences. Thus, a firearms examiner c...
