Abstract:
Based on priority forensic photography is a source of documenting crime scenes. Currently it enables to signify a crime scene with every significant pieces of location and evidences. Adding to forensic investigation, crime scene photography provides a true and precise record of original scene and evidences relevant to surroundings. Crime scene photograph can illustrate a crime scene easily than verbal description by an investigator as it freezes time and records the evidences. It records all type of crime scenes such as fingerprints, impressions, injuries or bruises on skin in assault cases, human identification, bloodied body and knife in murder case etc. Scientific photography skills and techniques such as UV, IR and Fluorescence light filters are practiced to discover and preserve the hidden information during investigation. It is an integral part of criminal investigation by providing proper documented focused photographs to present actual story of the scene in the courtroom.

Abstract:
Shoe prints that have been traced by crime scene investigators at the crime scene can provide information relating to a criminal or a group of criminals that have committed it, and serve as evidence while pre-trial investigation. Furthermore, shoe prints provide information on the possible participation of the same person in different types of crimes (to integrate crimes). At present, the number of crimes related to stealing civilian properties, including robbery, has significantly increased as a result of economic crisis in many countries around the world. As the studies and the practical experience while investigating crime scenes by police in many countries show, footwear evidence as much as physical evidence have not been given due attention. In order to improve the quality of crime scene examination when seizing traces of shoes, the quality of removed traces of shoes, and, as a consequence, increase the efficiency of crime detection using traces of shoes, there is a necessity in: Introduction of modern forensic tools and methods for detecting, seizing traces of shoes, and further comparative research. Establishment of the Unified National Automated System at the legislative level for accounting and identification of shoeprints seized from unsolved crime sites. Creating professional forums to share experiences with leading international forensic experts. Establishing the terms for traces and shoeprints storage and use registered (for example, not more than two years from the date of registration) at the legislative level. In addition, implementation and development of automatic database systems with the ability to conduct identification between shoeprints evidence seized from different crime scenes can provide the investigator with significant information on the possible involvement of the same person in commission of different crimes (to combine crimes), conduct so-called forensic intelligence. A shoeprint as a single piece of evidence may not be weighty enough but combined with additional evidence it is vital for detecting and investigating a crime. In conclusion, it should be noted that this area has great prospects for development and, undoubtedly, should be addressed by forensic experts in this field.

Abstract:
To identify the offender and unravel the mystery, physical evidence must be found at the crime scenes. When it is first taken from crime scenes, the relevance of some pieces of evidence is unclear or seems inconsequential, but as the investigation goes on, it seems to gain significance. Although footprints are a common physical indicator of a crime, including homicide, burglary, and sexual assault, they are frequently overlooked or dismissed as inconsequential during the early stages of an investigation. Currently, individual identification is done through gait pattern analysis based on footprints. A branch of forensic science known as forensic podiatry examines foot-related evidence in the course of a criminal investigation using specific podiatric knowledge, including the foot and lower limb. Analysis of footprints and gait is most consistent with other pattern-based forms of evidence, such as blood pattern analysis. Most cases of homicide and burglary involve the gait pattern evidence. Additionally, detectives frequently disregard crime scenes due to their familiarity. Science in podiatry is lacking. The current crime scene report, which was researched by the corresponding author (Prof. T. Nataraja Moorthy, henceforth referred to as "TN") in India, highlighted the importance of footprint and gait pattern evidence in a distinctive homicide crime scene. In India, a woman reported her husband's murder to the police, but a footprint-based gait pattern analysis proved she was the murderer, not the unidentified assailant. She committed murder while hiding the crime, which is known as "crime concealment".

Abstract:
Burglary crimes inflict a significant toll on society, both financially and psychologically. Most of these cases are never solved, many times because no visible signs of entry or forensic evidence are found at the scene. In this report, we detail a police case involving a series of burglaries in Israel, all of which lacked any visible signs of forced entry. Thirteen burglaries were initially linked by the so-called forensic intelligence method and the analysis of additional forensic data obtained during the inspection of the scene and in the forensic laboratory. Linking seemingly unrelated crime scenes through forensic data analysis can increase the effectiveness of case investigations.

Abstract:
"A picture is worth a thousand words," and crime scene photography is a case in point. All crime scenes begin with photography, which is done with the almost priority. The most efficient and straight forward way for an investigating officer to depict a crime scene is through photographs and criminal sketches. By documenting the original site and surroundings, crime scene photography serves to offer a true and accurate record of the crime scene and tangible evidence that was present. Regardless of how well a detective can orally describe a crime scene pictures can convey the same information more clearly and effectively because they freeze time and capture the evidence. A trial's forensic photography is an essential component. Additionally, crime scene images are frequently used as the basis for the decision.

Abstract:
This study aims to examine the posttraumatic stress response characteristics experienced by crime scene investigators after conducting crime scene identification work, and their personal coping efforts. Additionally, the study aims to identify organizational support measures desired by crime scene investigators through qualitative research, in order to provide differentiated support. A focused group interview was conducted in July 2022 with nine crime scene investigators, and additional information was supplemented through phone interviews when necessary. Six main themes emerged: painful scenes, unstable daily routines, challenging organizational aspects, personal coping efforts, supportive colleagues and seniors, and psychological support systems. Based on the findings, a psychological support system for the psychological pain of crime scene investigators was discussed, divided into stages of intervention.

Abstract:
Fingerprint evidence found at crime scenes provides vital impressions left when these skin secretions touch surfaces clues in serial criminal investigations. A fingerprint identification system employing deep machine learning and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) could automate the analysis process. Images obtained from various physical and chemical crime scene investiga2tion techniques are entered into the database. However, partial latent prints lifted from scenes are often difficult to classify. The system operates in three phases: preprocessing fingerprint images, feature extraction, and matching. Preprocessing enhances image quality before feature extraction identifies distinctive minutiae points - ridge endings and bifurcations. False minutiae removal further refines the data. The preprocessed fingerprint data serves as input to train and test the CNN model. As the system persist due to the immutable individuality of fingerprint ridge arrangements [5]. While criminals attempt concealment, fingerprint traces stubbornly remain where other evidence would dissipate [6]. Without these durable biometric markers, crime scenes would often lack the critical traces needed to connect acts to perpetrators [7]. Latent prints lifted from crime scenes first undergo photographic documentation and chemical enhancement techniques in order to visualize trace details [8]. Computer analysis then further improves clarity, isolating minute identifying features known as minutiae [9]. Algorithmic extraction of differentiating traits classifies new latent prints, it continuously incorporates the prints enables training of automated comparison systems using along with confirmed suspect identity matches to improve accuracy. Automated classification and matching facilitate identification. The approach scales as the database grows in size without proportionate growth in human effort. Rapid fingerprint evidence analysis accelerates investigations, potentially solving more crimes by linking serial cases through a central digital repository. I aimed to restate the key technical ideas and flow using alternative vocabulary and phrasing while preserving semantic meaning. Please let me know if you need any clarification or have additional requirements for rephrasing the passage.

Abstract:
Crime scene examiners (CSEs) spend long hours at traumatic crime scenes, and interact closely with various elements of crime scenes. The topic has only recently attracted international research interest, and in the South African context the offering is meagre. The study set out to determine the profile of Southern Gauteng CSEs; to establish the scope of their tasks and responsibilities; to ascertain their trauma levels in relation to traumatic crime scenes and autopsies; to identify the specific coping strategies they use; to determine their context-specific experiences of job-related stress and trauma; and to ascertain the measure to which they experience contentedness within their workplace and their views on both briefing and debriefing. In pursuit of the objectives of the study, the research paradigm was rooted in positivism. Consequently, a quantitative approach was adopted and a cross-sectional design was employed. Through convenience sampling, 103 respondents were recruited from all eight Local Criminal Record Centres (LCRCs) in Southern Gauteng. The data gathering instrument was a paper-based, self-administered structured questionnaire, which included two standardised measuring instruments for trauma levels and coping strategies respectively. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests indicated that non-parametric statistical procedures were required. Using the Mann Whitney U test, bivariate analysis allowed for testing the relationships between variables. The findings demonstrate that male CSEs outnumber female CSEs by approximately 3:1. CSEs attend violent crime scenes with striking regularity, but autopsies less frequently. Significant proportions of CSEs are routinely required to both take photographs of crime scenes and compile photo albums. A sizeable number of CSEs present with concerning levels of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptomology. The coping strategy adopted by majority of respondents is acceptance. Although attended less frequently, crime scenes involving deceased children are experienced as very distressing. A large proportion of CSEs are hesitant to access debriefing services, for numerous reasons, despite feeling the need to talk to someone about their work. The trauma experienced by CSEs is unique compared with other policing units. Therefore, it is recommended that trauma interventions should be responsive to their needs. Lastly, the CSEs who have been diagnosed with mental health conditions seem to be at significant risk, and thus they should receive special attention in future interventions. Keywords: crime scene examiner, Local Criminal Record Centres, trauma, traumatic event, crime scene, traumatic crime scene, emotional stress, coping strategy, autopsy, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, Southern Gauteng.

Abstract:
A crime scene is a vital part of an investigation. There are however, depending on the situation and crime, issues connected to physically being at the scene; risk of contamination, destruction of evidence or other issues can hinder the criminal investigators to stay, visit or revisit the scene. It is therefore important to visually capture the crime scene and any possible evidence in order to aid the investigation. This thesis aims to, with an initial research question, map out the main visual documentation needs, wishes and challenges that criminal investigators face during an investigation. In addition, with a second research question, it aims to address these in a Virtual Reality (VR) design and, with a third research question, explore however other professions in the investigation process could benefit from it. This was conducted through a literature review, interviews, workshops and iterations with the approach of the Double Diamond Model of Design. The results from the interviews were thematically analyzed and ultimately summarized into five key themes. These, together with various design criteria and principals, acted as design guidelines when creating a high fidelity VR design. The first two research questions were presented through the key themes and the VR design. The results of the third research question indicated that, besides criminal investigators, both prosecutors and criminal scene investigators may benefit from a VR design, although in different ways. A VR design can, in conclusion, address the needs, wishes and challenges of criminal investigators by being developed as a compiled visualization and collaboration tool.
En brottsplats är en vital del av en brottsundersökning. Det finns emellertid, beroende på situation och brott, problem som är kopplade till att fysiskt befinna sig på brottsplatsen. Risk för kontamination, förstörelse av bevis eller andra problem kan hindra brottsutredarna att stanna, besöka eller återvända till brottsplatsen. Det är därför viktigt att visuellt dokumentara brottsplatsen och eventuella bevis för att bistå utredningen. Detta masterarbete ämnar att, med en första forskningsfråga, kartlägga de viktigaste behoven, önskemålen och utmaningarna gällande visuell dokumentation, som brottsutredare möter under en utredning. Vidare ämnar projektet att, med en andra forskningsfråga, möta dessa i en Virtuell Verklighet (VR) -design och, med en tredje forskningsfråga, undersöka hur andra yrkesgrupper i en utredningsprocess skulle kunna dra nytta av den. Detta genomfördes genom en litteraturstudie, intervjuer, workshops och iterationer grundat i tillvägagångssättet Double Diamond Model of Design. Resultaten från intervjuerna analyserades tematiskt och sammanfattades i fem huvudteman. Dessa teman, tillsammans med olika designkriterier och principer, agerade designriktlinjer vid skapandet av en high-fidelity VR-design. De två första frågorna presenterades genom nyckeltemana och VR-designen. Resultaten gällande den tredje forskningsfrågan visar att, utöver brottsutredare, både åklagare och kriminaltekniker kan dra nytta av en VR-design, även om på olika vis. Sammanfattningsvis kan en VRdesign möta utredarnas behov, önskemål och utmaningar gällande visuell dokumentation genom att utvecklas som ett kompilerat visualiserings- och samarbetsverktyg.

Abstract:
This study proposes the classification of the toolmark under the heads of zipper teeth as a subclass characteristic as outlined by the Association of Firearm and Toolmark Examiners (AFTE). Two separate cases in which zipper teeth were found at crime scenes prompted this study. Brass zipper teeth manufactured by YKK were taken from 20 pairs of jeans and studied using a Reichert comparison microscope at 4X power. Photographs were taken and over 750 comparisons made. It was found that the toolmarks on each side on the 20 zippers were unique and independent of all other sides. The observations made in this study indicate that classifying zipper teeth toolmarks as a subclass characteristic is valid.

Abstract:
Homicide, especially serial homicide, is a very serious crime, which both captures and terrifies the public. Previous studies which compare serial homicide offenders to single homicide offenders are scarce. This study aimed to determine if it was possible to distinguish between both groups of offenders by looking at factors of the first crime scene to see if investigators could use this information to establish if the offenders will kill again. By building a database of 80 offenders (40 serial and 40 single), 22 variables regarding the offender, the victim, the location, and crime scene behaviours were compared and analysed using statistical analysis. 5 factors were found to be significantly different between the 2 groups - year of 1st murder, apprehension time lag, location relationship, trophies, and theft. Although there was differences found, these factors would not be enough on their own to distinguish between serial and single homicide offenders by examining the first crime scenes.

Abstract:
Biological fluids are often present within a crime scene and can be a valuable source of DNA evidence; therefore the detection and identification of these fluids is critical. Alternative light sources are a presumptive testing tool that can be used to detect and enhance potential biological and non-biological staining, through the exploitation of the ultraviolet, visible light and infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Most biological fluids will emit fluorescence when excited by light from an alternative light source; however previous research has demonstrated that a range of non-biological products will also display fluorescence when viewed under alternative light sources, potentially causing confusion within a crime scene. Further investigation is required to develop a better understanding of the fluorescence displayed by biological and nonbiological products under a wide range of wavelengths and interference filters. This review will assess the current literature regarding the use of alternative light sources for the detection and visualisation of biological fluids, focusing on past studies that have recognised potential complications, such as the fluorescence of non-biological materials and the influence of background substrates on the detection of stains.

Abstract:
Blood is one of the most common types of biological evidence found at the scene of violent crimes. Whilst the first step in processing this evidence is observation and documentation, this is closely followed by presumptive testing. Due to the fact that many substances have an appearance similar to blood, the sample must be analysed at the crime scene firstly to determine if the material is likely to be blood, and secondly if it is likely to be of human origin. Depending on the case context, this ensures time and resources are not wasted testing a substance of little or no forensic value. However, this can be complicated if the selected testing kit has the ability to produce false-negative results. There are many degradative substances and environmental conditions within a crime scene in which a bloodstain can be exposed to. Substantial degradation may result in an inability for the presumptive test to recognise the sample as blood. The ABACard® HemaTrace® from Abacus Diagnostics Inc. tests for the presence human haemoglobin by antibody-antigen immunohematological chromatography, and is routinely used by forensic Police forces and biological laboratories worldwide. However, it is currently unknown in the scientific literature, how certain degradative agents, such as high temperature, high intensity ultra violet (UV) radiation and sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) affect the haemoglobin within a blood sample in terms of subsequent presumptive testing. If the haemoglobin is structurally degraded beyond recognition, it may not be able to bind to the antibodies present within the HemaTrace® kit, producing a false-negative result. This literature review aims to address the affect these three degradative agents (high temperature, UV radiation and bleach) have on human haemoglobin and the subsequent testing using the ABACard® HemaTrace® kit. The purpose of this literature review is to dictate parameters for potential research that may aid in answering the investigative question.

Abstract:
Forensic Palynology has helped to solve crimes ranging from fraud to murder. Pollen is ubiquitous, almost indestructible and microscopic in size. It is often sticky and easily carried, undetected, from one place to another. As pollen is unique to a plant species, combinations of pollen types (pollen assemblages) present in soil or other samples can identify the type of environment, and often the exact location, from which a sample originated. Although Forensic Palynology has been used routinely in New Zealand for over 25 years, is commonly used in the United Kingdom and has been used in several cases in Australia in the past ten years, little research has been done in this field. In Australia, police require an initial broad palynological analysis of samples from a crime scene prior to approving a more detailed analysis. This project investigates palynological samples from two superficially similar environments that could potentially be a crime scene and alibi location, in order to determine if they can be broadly distinguished from each other. Two Perth metropolitan wetlands, Herdsman Lake and Eric Singleton Bird Sanctuary, were chosen for study as potential sites for assaults and clandestine burials. Four sites within each wetland, with correspondingly similar vegetation communities, were sampled at surface level in different seasons. At three sites, 50 cm cores were taken and sampled at seven levels to simulate shallow grave profiles. Samples were prepared and analysed using standard palynological techniques. Surface and core (grave profile) pollen assemblages were compared site by site within each wetland, and with the corresponding site of the other wetland. The grave profile assemblages for each core were combined and averaged to represent mixed 'burial assemblages', and similarly compared across and within wetlands. Palynological analysis established that the surface soil samples were characteristic of wetland environments. The different vegetation sites in each wetland, and the corresponding vegetation site in the other wetland, were broadly palynologically distinct. The season in which samples were collected was difficult to determine. Grave profile assemblages generally differed from surface samples at each site, and broadly differed across and between the two wetlands, but the differences in the 'burial assemblages' were less marked. The findings of this study confirm that broad palynological analysis can differentiate between two wetlands at surface level and downhole, and that samples at different depths in a grave should be separately analysed. Collection of control samples from similar and possible alibi environments is essential. Caution should be taken when palynologically interpreting the season in which a crime was committed.

Crime Scene Investigation offers an innovative approach to learning about crime scene investigation, taking the reader from the first response on the crime scene to documenting crime scene evidence and preparing evidence for courtroom presentation. It includes topics not normally covered in other texts, such as forensic anthropology and pathology, arson and explosives, and the electronic crime scene. Numerous photographs and illustrations complement text material, and a chapter-by-chapter fictional narrative also provides the reader with a qualitative dimension of the crime scene experience.

Abstract:
Crime scene investigators (CSI’s) can work long hours in less than ideal conditions which may increase the chances of fatigue being experienced. By understanding the mental acuity required for the job it can be understood to further analyse how physiological signs of stress and fatigue can affect the CSI’s work. In understanding fatigue, examination to monitor, measure and manage is needed. Physiological parameters including heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature have been analysed to show some association with fatigue and stress (1-3). The examination of physiological parameters in association with fatigue and stress is applied to athletes and whether it can be applied in the crime scene setting. In crime scene investigation, there are specific procedures followed to ensure continuity and integrity from the crime scene to the courtroom. One important procedure is note taking of the crime scene, which includes an entry and exit log of personnel moving in and out of the scene (4). By introducing Global Positioning System (GPS) as a component to track individuals in a crime scene, this could potentially replace crime scene entry and exit logs if proven successful. GPS is a satellite navigation system developed by the US Department of Defence and Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) developed by Russia, where both provide positioning, navigation and timing services (5). The experimental project is to establish if GPS devices can effectively track CSI’s in a crime scene environment, while measuring their physiological parameters to show signs of stress and fatigue.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to analyze the possibility to age-determine blood spots with the help of enzymes which blood contains, in order to see if with these results it's possible to give an estimate of how long it has been since blood left the body. The main domain of this would be that of a crime-scene in order to give a time-frame of when a crime has been commited. The analysis consists of a serum that has been spiked with these enzymes gets to dry over time, and how the activity of these enzymes, which are dependent on the enzymes denaturation change. Problems which arose, such as drying of the blood, what blood contains, as well as a brief review of the possibility to conjugate quantum dots to the enzymes are also reviewed.
Syftet med den här studien är att analysera möjligheten till att åldersbestämma blod med hjälp av enzymer som blodet innehåller, för att se om dessa resultat i sin tur går att använda för att ge en uppskattning om hur länge sedan blodet lämnade kroppen. Huvudsakliga användningsområdet för det skulle vara vid en brottsplats, för att kunna ge ett tidsspann då ett brott har begåtts. Analysen består av att ett serum som är spikat med dessa enzymer har fått torka över tid, och hur aktiviteten av enzymerna som är beroende på enzymernas sönderfall påverkas. Problem som uppstod, såsom intorkning och vad blod innehåller behandlas också, såväl som kort om hurvida det är möjligt att konjugera kvant-prickar till enzymerna.

Abstract:
Forensic investigators have widely used luminol for more than 90 years in the identification of blood in life crime scenes. When mixed with an alkaline solution and sprayed on a catalyst (iron present in blood hemoglobin), it reproduces a chemiluminescent reaction with a bluish color. As it is a presumptive blood test, the present study sought to demonstrate that only the photons emission is not a prerogative to attest that the result is indeed human blood. In this perspective, 24 samples of both liquid and solid substances that can easily be found in residences and potentially used by criminals to impair the interpretation of the investigator at the crime scene were prepared. Out of the total of the analyzed samples, there was a chemical reaction with sodium hypochlorite and wood varnish, proving the known understanding that some samples may cause interference in the examination with luminol.

Abstract:
This report summarizes a review of the scientific foundations of bitemark analysis conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Bitemark analysis typically involves examining patterned injuries left on a victim or object at a crime scene, identifying those injuries as bitemarks, and comparing those marks with dental impressions from a person of interest. This review specifically focuses on pattern injuries found on human skin. Over 400 sources were considered via literature searches and input from previous efforts by the National Institute of Justice Forensic Technology Center of Excellence. Our NIST review also utilized input from an October 2019 Bitemark Thinkshop organized by the Center for Statistics and Applications in Forensic Evidence (CSAFE) where experts and stakeholders associated with bitemark analysis were convened to discuss key issues. Based on this input, our study found a lack of support for three key premises of the field: 1) human dentition is unique at the individual level, 2) this uniqueness can be accurately transferred to human skin, and 3) identifying characteristics can be accurately captured and interpreted by analysis techniques. Furthermore, our review noted a lack of consensus among practitioners on the interpretation of bitemark evidence as well as thoughts on how to move the field forward. If the field seeks to advance, the key takeaways provided in this review are starting points for areas needing improvement, not an exhaustive list of specific shortcomings.
