Mees, R. "Is Arson Associated with Severe Fire Weather in Southern California?" International Journal of Wildland Fire 1, no. 2 (1991): 97. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/wf9910097.

Abstract:
Under severe fire weather conditions arson is believed to be the primary cause of large wildland fires in southern California. Wildland fire suppression personnel and the public use the the expression "This weather brings out the arsonists" to indicate their awareness of the high potential for large arson-caused fires under these conditions. To determine the accuracy of this statement, fire occurrence and weather data were analyzed for four southern California National Forests for a 10-year period (1975–1984). The results showed that the proportion of arson and non-arson person-caused fires remained the same under most fire-danger conditions; however, a much higher percentage of arson fires became large fires when fire danger was severe. Furthermore, the timing of the arsonist contributed to the frequent occurrence of large arson fires. The data presented here refute the idea that most arson fires occur under severe weather conditions and at the same time-validate the utility of maintaining arson prevention programs during most weather conditions.

Abstract:
One of the most important elements of the criminological characteristic of intentional destruction of property through arson is the quantitative and qualitative indicators of the commission of this crime, which include the level, structure, dynamics and geography. A full characterization of intentional destruction or damage to property by arson requires consideration of a number of criminological elements, including quantitative and qualitative indicators of intentional destruction or damage to property by arson, characterization of the offender committing intentional destruction or damage to property by arson, cause damage to property by arson. The article looks at statistics from 1960-2018 that reflect the level of crimes related to the deliberate destruction or damage to another's property by arson. The analysis is based on official statistics of the Interior Ministry of Ukraine. The focus is on the dynamics of reported crimes. The study of statistics from 1960-2018 on the deliberate destruction or damage of another's property by means of arson allows to obtain a considerable amount of useful information about the mechanism and means of arson, about the conditions and circumstances under which it was prepared and committed, the identity of the offender, etc. Identifying typical methods of arson can be the basis for developing versions, determining the direction of the investigation and the most appropriate ways to search the offender, establishing and further eliminating the circumstances contributing to the arson. The purpose and purpose of this article is to investigate statistics from 1960-2018 that reflect the results of the activities of law enforcement agencies in the detection of crimes related to the deliberate destruction and damage to property, including those committed by arson. The overall crime rate can be traced to the tables provided in the article. Investigations can form the basis of law-making activities, as well as serve as a basis for further scientific inquiries concerning the criminal-law characteristics of intentional destruction or damage to property.

Abstract:
Research into the determining factors in arson cases has traditionally focused on factors linked to the characteristics of the burned building. One of our basic hypotheses is that deliberately set fires also have an underlying economic motivation. In this case, the present study confirms the hypothesis that there appears to be an indisputable link between the unemployment rate and mortgage burdens and arson rates, regardless of the phase of the economic cycle in which the arson occurs. Moreover, the study corroborates the idea that increased surveillance is necessary in areas presenting a higher risk of fraud and having a specific socioeconomic and financial profile. A lower incidence of arson and the improvement of insurers ' ability to predict losses due to arson could lead to a significant reduction in the number of claims, and consequently, in the amount of premiums. By looking more specifically at the economic motivations influencing arson throughout the different phases of the economic cycle, this study evokes the establisment of a forecasting system that would allow insurance companies to identify the areas of Montreal that present a higher risk level for arson, thus allowing them to establish their rates in a more equitable manner.

Abstract:
Arson crimes are associated with fire where establishment of crime depends on intent and motive together with circumstantial evidence making a challenging job for scene of crime investigators. The jumble of problems at arson crime location needs presence of mind during forensic examination keeping in view of sensitivity of the case. The importance of forensics to tract down crime exhibits and their struggle to save trace evidences in arson cases is decisive as often the scene of crime is visited by numerous people including individuals needed to douse the fire. It is therefore necessary to document and photograph the scene of crime. The various approaches to tackle the arson crime are widely known, documented and implemented by forensic scientists but still every crime scene is thought-provoking. This article draws attention towards well planned and structured arson crime committed to evade evidences and the challenges faced by forensic community to reveal scientific evidence. A complex case of charred body inside burnt car in a secluded street was examined by forensic scientist to unearth concrete evidences reproducible in court of law. The article concludes by discussing the challenges most notably around the arson debris, importance of surrounding evidences, pattern of fire and thus evaluating crime scene for joining the dots of evidence justifying the role of forensic science.

Abstract:
Arson is a recurrent problem in Kenyan secondary schools. Although school violence – notably gun violence – has received significant attention, there has been less academic attention paid to school arson, especially in Africa. This study explores how newspaper reports in Kenya framed school arson and links these framings to broader questions about the understanding and production of Kenyan identity. A thematic analysis of 334 newspaper reports revealed multiple understandings of school arson. Print media discourse afforded journalists an opportunity to make a commentary on the post-colonial globalized Kenyan society. We discuss the implications of this for understanding post-colonial media in Africa.

Abstract:
In the last 20 years there has been global increase of episodes of school unrests characterized with violence and arson attacks. They resulted to destruction of schools’ property and death. Arson persists with latest cases seen in 2021. Past studies have not focused on social and cultural aspects in learning institutions as possible causes of arson. The study focused on the application of rules and regulations on students’ involvement in Arson at public boarding Secondary schools in Migori County. Descriptive Cross-sectional survey design. It involved 380 students of form 3 and 4 from 28 public boarding secondary schools which had experienced Arson from 2017 to 2020; and 28 KII’s. Probability sampling techniques were used to arrive at the respondents, KII’s were purposively selected. Questionnaires and FGDs were used on main respondents; and interview schedule for KIIs. Quantitative data was analyzed using Pearson’s product moment correlations and presented in graphs, tables and charts. Qualitative data was analyzed thematically. It was revealed that utilization of school rules and regulations had a positive significant relationship (r= .447, p<.05) with students’ involvement in arson. Further, informal discussion on school rules and regulations had a positive significant relationship (r= .487, p<.05) with students’ involvement in arson. The study recommends that the ministry of education should outline the guidelines for formulation of school rules and regulations

Abstract:
Combustion improvers are often found in acts of arson. Until recently, in fire investigations in Korea, these substances have been identified only by the olfactory sense of the fire inspectors or conventional gas detectors. These methods are neither efficient nor feasible in damaged buildings or large areas. Research on the canine sense of smell has shown that a dog can distinguish the remains of combusted hydrocarbon compounds, even in a large, open area. Field tests confirmed that arson dogs can find combustion improvers at fire sites in about five to 77 s. Therefore, this study verified the practicality of introducing arson dog units in field investigations of fire sites to identify combustion improvers sprayed for committing arson.

Abstract:
Introduction Firesetting is a behavior, arson is a crime, and pyromania is a psychiatric diagnosis. Arson is a criminal act in which a person or group of persons willing fully and maliciously sets fire or aid in firesetting to cause harm to property, people, and infrastructure. The likelihood of an arson offender having schizophrenia is 20 times greater than that in the general population. Here, we describe the case of a male in his 50’s, a first-time arsonist, who suffered from schizophrenia since his late teens prior to the onset of random firesetting behavior. Objectives To understand the association between Arson and Schizophrenia. Methods A case report, as well as a review of the literature, was conducted. Results The patient is a male in his 50’s carrying a diagnosis of Schizophrenia with over 50 inpatient hospitalizations. He was observed standing on the threshold of a neighbor’s apartments where he allegedly set fire to a pile of clothing. These charges are based upon allegations that he attempted to set fire to a 14-storey apartment building. At the time of his assessment, he was floridly psychotic. He was found not fit to stand trial. He was restarted on Clozapine and Depakote which is the medication he had the most success with. Conclusions Literature shows that Arson and firesetting behaviors are quite commonly seen in patients with mental disorders. Arson often has sequelae that negatively impact the community. The strong correlation between firesetting behavior and mental disorders needs extensive, detailed collaboration between psychiatry, legal expertise, and fire services. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Abstract: Arson cases pose significant challenges to fire investigators due to the deliberate use of accelerants, which are substances that promote and expedite the spread of fire. This research paper presents an analysis of various accelerants commonly found in arson cases and explores their implications for fire investigation. The study involved a comprehensive review of existing literature, case studies, and experimental analysis of accelerant samples collected from real arson incidents. The research aims to provide a deeper understanding of the characteristics, detection methods, and forensic significance of accelerants. The analysis includes a wide range of accelerants, such as gasoline, kerosene, alcohols, and other flammable liquids commonly utilized in arson incidents. Factors affecting the selection, application, and identification of accelerants are examined, including their volatility, residue patterns, and the influence of environmental conditions. Key findings reveal the importance of accurate and timely identification of accelerants in arson investigations. The study highlights the significance of forensic techniques like gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) in identifying and analysing accelerant residues. Moreover, the paper emphasizes the crucial role of collaboration between fire investigators, forensic experts, and law enforcement agencies to effectively interpret and present the findings in a court of law.

Abstract:
This article focuses on fire management practices in Algeria during the colonial period. Focusing on environmental usages of fires in Algerian rural society, this article shows that these practices were submitted to varied and opposite interpretations resulting in significant and durable conflicts. These conflicts exploded under the French colonial forestry administration, which forcefully imposed new legislation to criminalize existing agricultural practices, including fires. Despite this ban, these practices continued. The administration interpreted this persistence as rebellion and responded with severe sanctions. This only aggravated the situation, resulting in a real war of attrition. On the one hand, this situation does not diverge from the rural violence typical of the nineteenth century. On the other, the responses of the administration in colonial Algeria represent specific digressions compared to the policies carried out in metropolitan areas.

Abstract:
Fire is the oldest danger in human history, beginning with its discovery, and is still an object of existential fear. In particular, arson is a destructive, antisocial, and deliberate crime that causes great human and economic damage to society. Therefore, this study aims to discuss the investigation rights of firefighters, which are necessary to establish a professional and scientific investigation system for arson, and to explore the question of what the fire organization should have. Above all, although firefighters have expertise in controlling fire, and are authorized to investigate crimes, arson is beyond the scope of their investigation and so they do not have the authority to directly investigate such crimes. Therefore, to strengthen the capabilities of the special fire police and increase their investigative power over arson and related crimes, the legal system should be improved so that the special fire officers can be given the primary right to investigate them.

Abstract:
Accelerant detection canines provide a fundamental role in arson investigations. Statistically, arson and criminal damage accounts for 9 per 1,000 population in the UK.1 Before 1996, fire investigators relied on the olfactory system and basic accelerant detection equipment to locate accelerant traces within arson crime scenes. As a result, canines were adopted as their superior olfactory system was producing precise detections than those of technical equipment. This review proposes that despite their strong sense of smell, the accuracy of detections remains fundamentally unanswered. Although current literature demonstrates extraordinary results from accelerant detection canines, further developments and critical evaluations are required to ensure the process meets forensic standards of practice.

Abstract:
The article discusses some of the features of the investigation of criminal cases involving arson. Recommendations are given for the officers of the investigative-operational groups when planning further actions at the initial stage of the investigation of arson. The questions about the influence on the detection rate of the promptness of arrival to the place of the fire of the investigator (interrogator), about the features of collecting information at the place of the fire are touched upon. Obtaining information on the basis of special knowledge, allowing to formulate a search plan for the alleged offender and his criminological personality portrait. With the development of new technologies, for the efficiency of obtaining information from a specialist (expert) in the investigation of arson, it is necessary to use the technology of immersive telepresence (video presence). This allows for a better inspection of the crime scene in the absence of an expert (specialist) directly on the spot. The use of electronic databases and the use of modern means of communication also contribute to solving crimes related to arson hot on the trail.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify studies which have investigated arson or firesetting in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Design/methodology/approach A systematic PRISMA review was conducted. Findings The present review highlighted the relatively little research that has been conducted to date exploring firesetting or arson in individuals with ASD. In sum, 11 papers were identified in the present review study: 6 were case studies and 5 were empirical studies. The case studies identified in the review highlighted some of the ASD symptomology which may contribute to this type of criminal behaviour. Also, the empirical studies indicate that there is a higher prevalence of individuals with ASD who engage in such criminal behaviours. Research limitations/implications There is an urgent need for further empirical research in this area and for there to be an increased awareness and understanding of how ASD can contribute to arson and firesetting in both a legal and clinical context. Originality/value This is the first review, to the author’s knowledge, to explore the literature on firesetting or arson in individuals with ASD.

Abstract:
Arson is a violent crime and a public health problem that causes injuries and deaths, destroys homes, and destabilizes neighborhoods. During the late 1970s, pre-Halloween pranks in Detroit, Michigan, turned destructive when hundreds of fires were set deliberately throughout the city; in 1984, a record of 810 fires were set during the Halloween period. In 1985, a citywide anti-arson campaign that involved the mobilization and training of thousands of community volunteers was begun in Detroit. This report describes the multiple components of the anti-arson intervention from 1985 through 1996 and changes in the incidence of Halloween fires. Both the decrease in annual Halloween arson fires after the intervention began and the inverse relationship between the number of volunteers and the number of fires suggest a causal effect. This study illustrates the capacity of an urban community to mobilize its residents and stakeholders, the importance of community participation and multisectoral partnerships in program planning and implementation, and the challenges faced in retrospectively evaluating an apparently successful, complex, community-based intervention.

Abstract:
Arson investigation is hands down the most tedious and the robust form of investigation to go with. It is by far the multifarious and endearing type of investigation as investigating at the arson scene demands high endeavour in order to withstand from all the challenges that stood up at the scene of crime. Stringent norms have been framed by the government that defines it under section 435, 436 and 438 of IPC. In such cases, the chain of custody plays a dynamic and a crucial role as from the procurement of the most fragile samples to transporting it in the most desired form to follow the best sample preparation method before subjecting to GC analysis in order to avail the quality result. Keeping in mind the susceptibility of fire evidences American Society for Testingand Materials International has established standard guidelines for subjecting sample before GC-MS introducing solid phase micro-extraction technique linking to various GC detectors. New minds and innovation has bumped into better and more approachable forms of GC by making hybrids of it such as E-nose i.e. headspace-mass spectrometry, a strategic mass spectrometry based instrument with both qualitative and quantitative applications surpassing the bygone separation process. Revolution in the arson and analytical world is making way for non destructible techniques to serve as a better alternative to any of the GC detectors.

Abstract:
TheBrokmerbrefand the Emsigo Compensation Tariff concerning arson provide a number of occurrences of the wordkrocha, otherwise unrecorded in Old Frisian, in the meaning ‘coal pan’. Yet the Modern Frisian dialect words denote different sorts of cooking pots, either earthen or metal, and apparently do not support the specialized meaning of the Old Frisian. Coal pans were quite common in medieval times, however, and the legal provisions under examination provide both homely and lively descriptions of arson, possibly based on actual cases. Medieval iconography of the devil as an arsonist—portrayed with a coal pan in his hand—assists the interpretation ofkrocha, which goes back to Richthofen, and adds a further negative tinge to the crime of arson, harshly sanctioned by Old Frisian laws.

Abstract:
Purpose – Offenders with intellectual disability (ID) who commit arson and other acts of fire setting are over-represented in the criminal justice system in Australia, as in many other jurisdictions. The purpose of this paper is to provide insight into the judicial considerations that influence sentencing in these cases. Design/methodology/approach – Case law was utilised to locate and analyse judges’ sentencing remarks for offenders with ID found guilty of an offence of arson. These data were subject to Inductive Content Analysis to establish the major judicial considerations in sentencing. Findings – Seven common issues emerged: general deterrence, seriousness of arson, rehabilitation, sentencing options, moral culpability, protection of the community, and punishment. Judges noted that they handed down reduced sentences to persons with ID relative to the severity of their offending, that they considered people with ID to have low levels of moral culpability, and that these offenders did not provide good examples for community deterrence. Originality/value – The current study highlights the need for judges to have available a range of sentencing options, including diversion and treatment/rehabilitation programmes for persons with ID, particularly for those involved in more serious offences such as arson.

Abstract:
Research was carried out on the remains of arson equipment recovered from the fire site using gas-liquid chromatography and fluorescence spectroscopy. The examples show what difficulties can arise when deciphering fluorescence spectra and chromatograms during fire-technical examinations and how to correctly interpret the results obtained. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are indicated. It is shown what information each method contributes to the classification of arson residues.

Abstract:
Variations in area burnt by fire are governed by four processes: biomass growth, availability to burn, fire weather and ignitions. Insight into these how these processes are shaped by biophysical and human influences is required to underpin the development of effective management strategies. Patterns of natural and arson ignitions were examined within the densely populated Sydney region of south-eastern Australia to determine the extent to which management can alter the risk of ignition. Arson ignitions were more likely on ridges in association with human infrastructure, i.e. roads and houses. Lightning ignitions also occurred more frequently on ridges, but at greater distances from human infrastructure. These patterns are consistent with those reported in studies from forested regions in the northern hemisphere. Fuel age had a variable effect with lightning more likely in older fuels (>25 years) and arson more likely in younger fuels (<10 years). Probability of both ignition types increased under more severe fire weather. Climate change is predicted to increase the severity of fire weather and is therefore likely to result in an increase in ignition frequency in the Sydney Basin. Urban expansion is also likely to have significant effects on ignitions and resultant risks to people and property via an increase in the probability of arson ignitions.
