Abstract:

Magister Scientiae Dentium - MSc(Dent)<br>In Sudan there are currently no programmes targeting dentists to improve their own knowledge about how they can be part of human identification by keeping good dental records. In addition, no guidelines are stated by the health authorities about making, keeping and retention of dental records. The aim of this research was to assess the accuracy of dental records drawn up by the general dentists in Sudan with regard to forensic dental identification and compare these records to an ideal dental record. Dental records of 180 patients obtained from six sit

Abstract:

The large number of unidentified, decomposed and skeletonised remains found in South Africa (SA) necessitates relevant and reliable methods to assist in victim identification. Ancestry estimation from unknown skeletal remains is essential when reconstructing a demographic profile of a missing person. In the SA population, estimating ancestry is problematic as standards developed internationally rarely apply to the local, biologically heterogenous population. Craniofacial morphology is known to be ancestrally distinct and studies are yet to explore shape and size variation in the zygomatic bone

Abstract:

Thesis (M.S.)--Boston University<br>The presumptive detection of urine from evidence found at a crime scene can assist investigators in determining the events that occurred during the commission of the crime. The Jaffe test is a traditional method which relies on the detection of creatinine, a constituent of urine. In 2009, the Uritrace® test device was developed to detect the presence of creatinine in urine. In 2010, the RSIDTM-Urine immunochromatographic card was released as a method for detection of a reportedly more specific component of urine, Tamm-Horsfall protein. The significance of th

Abstract:

Language barriers in eyewitness testimonies may pose threats toward witnesses’ accuracy, and consequently on the outcome of judicial procedures. The present study aims to investigate the credibility and the extent of reported detail information of eyewitnesses’ testimony of a crime event, when the testimony is given in witnesses’ first language, second language, or second language through interpreter. Moreover, the study examines whether eyewitness suggestibility is affected by the language to which the testimony is provided. Participants (N=60) were exposed to a mock crime event and subsequen

Abstract:

In forensic science one frequently has to deal with unidentified skeletonised remains. When conventional methods of identification have proven unsuccessful, forensic facial reconstruction (FFR) may be used, often as a last resort, to assist the process. FFR relies on the relationships between the facial features, subcutaneous soft tissues and underlying bony structure of the skull. The aim of this study was to develop soft tissue thickness (STT) values for South African black females for application to FFR, to compare these values to existing literature or databases, and to test the accuracy a

This project uses radionuclides from the uranium-238 decay chain series in conjunction with lead, strontium carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios to achieve accurate dating and geographical sourcing of human skeletal remains. A pilot study was conducted in order to test the hypothesis that 210pb stored within the skeleton during life decays at a known rate once death occurs. Samples of femur were used from 12 Portuguese individuals whose year of death was known.

The tremendous increase in the use of digital devices has led to their involvement in the vast majority of current criminal investigations. As a result, digital forensics has increasingly become one of the most important aspects of criminal investigations. The digital forensics process involves consideration of a number of important phases in order to achieve the required level of accuracy and to reach a successful conclusion of the investigation into the digital aspects of crimes; through obtaining acceptable evidence for use in a court of law.

Abstract:

Magister Scientiae - MSc<br>Teeth are often used to assist in the identification of human bodies after death, especially in cases where the body is badly burned or decomposed, as teeth are usually preserved for a long period of time, even after most of the other tissues of the body have decomposed. Age estimation can play a significant role in order to help narrow down the spectrum of possible identities, for example from the missing person’s database. Gustafson created a method of age estimation, using 6 age-related changes of teeth that occur after the eruption of the dentition. He the

The aim of this study was to test the accuracy of two methods for age estimation in non-adults, Cameriere’s European formula and AlQahtani’s London Atlas, on a multi-ethnic American sample. Radiographs of European, Hispanic and American Indian children (166 girls and 194 boys) aged between 6 and 17 years were analyzed following both methods. The accuracy of each method was assessed using the mean difference and the mean of the absolute values of the residuals (mean prediction error).

This was a retrospective study of a community-based methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) program in Toronto. Participants (N = 170) were federally sentenced adult male offenders admitted to this voluntary program between 1997 and 2009 while subject to community supervision following incarceration. The primary investigation examined correlates of treatment responsivity, with principal outcome measures including MMT clients’ rates of: (i) illicit drug use; and (ii) completion of conditional (parole) or statutory release (SR). For a subset (n = 74), recidivism rates were examined after a 9-year

Abstract:

The fate of the human body after death is a subject that has fascinated enquirers, both religious and scientific, for millennia. However, objective research into the causes and nature of human decomposition has only taken place in the last two centuries and quantitative measurement of the process as a means of estimating the time since death has only recently been attempted. Most research has involved attempting to estimate the time since death (TSD) in the early period after death; from the moment of death until the body cools to ambient temperature. When this phase is past and the body begi

Abstract:

Estimating the post-mortem interval (PMI) is one of the most important determinations to make in a forensic investigation. However, at present, an accurate and reliable forensic anthropological method for estimating the PMI, based on the gross morphological changes occurring during decomposition, is currently unavailable. This is due to a multitude of variables influencing the rate and processes of decomposition in any given environment. Forensic anthropologists have traditionally relied on their knowledge and experience of the decomposition stages to make an assessment of the time since death

Abstract:

La stima dell’età è un elemento importante in ambito medico-legale, connesso sia a questioni legali che sociali. L’età è un fattore determinante per l’identificazione di un corpo: costituisce un elemento per la ricostruzione del profilo biologico, che verrà poi confrontato con i dati disponibili per le persone scomparse. Nella nostra società alcuni diritti e alcune tutele sono direttamente correlate con l’età anagrafica della persona; serve una specifica età per votare, per sposarsi, per lavorare, per ottenere la patente di guida, e soprattutto per essere considerati legalmente degli adulti
