Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to present the application of situation calculus for knowledge representation in missing persons investigations. Design/methodology/approach The development of a knowledge representation model for the missing persons investigation process based upon situation calculus, with a demonstration of the use of the model for a missing persons example case. Findings Situation calculus is valuable for knowledge representation for missing persons investigations, as such investigations have state changes over time, and due to the complexity of the differing investigation activities

Abstract:

The rapid progress in facial recognition technology has broadened its use across multiple sectors, with law enforcement and public safety being among the primary areas of impact. This study presents an innovative framework for identifying criminals and missing persons by integrating two cutting-edge technologies: FaceNet and MTCNN. FaceNet, a deep learning-based model, produces high-dimensional facial embeddings that capture unique facial features consistently across various conditions, while MTCNN performs real-time face detection, isolating facial regions accurately to improve identification

Abstract:

Every missing persons case raises a number of legal, criminological, and psycho-logical issues. Regardless of how we define a “missing person”, an appropriate policy must be adopted by state institutions to react appropriately. This includes the creation of guidelines on who is eligible to make a missing persons report, who is competent to undertake missing person investigations (e.g. police force), but also which of the avail-able investigative methods and tools should be actually used when searching for a mis-sing person.

Abstract:

Search and rescue resources conduct missions for tens of thousands of persons annually. Visual trackers constitute one of many resources involved in searches for missing persons. Original research compares report details with actual find characteristics of 428 missing persons’ footwear (or lack thereof) from 1970 to 2024. Footwear report details such as type, brand, color, and size proved correct for 78%, 87%, 88%, and 91%, respectively, when missing persons were found. Paradoxical undressing, voluntary and involuntary removal, and cognitive impairments contributed to 25% of all subjects being

Abstract:

Abstract Missing persons investigations are arguably the most common and costly non-crime problem the police are expected to handle, with a large proportion of all cases attributable to young people. This article investigates the prevalence, time course, distance, and correlates of repeat disappearances by children (under the age of 18 years). Using data from one UK police force for the period January 2011 to May 2013 (n = 1,885), we find that (1) nearly two-thirds of all missing child reports are repeat disappearances, (2) a small proportion of children who go missing repeatedly (15%) account

Abstract:

The estimation of the post mortem interval (PMI) is a critical component of forensic science, aiding investigations and resolving missing persons cases. This abstract explores the innovative approach of forensic entomotoxicological investigations, focusing on the analysis of maggots and flies in PMI estimation. Maggots and flies are key players in the decomposition process, and their lifecycles are closely linked to the stages of decay. Challenges and limitations, such as environmental factors and variable drug metabolism, are considered. Two compelling case studies exemplify the practical app

AbstractIn October 2015, by co-sponsoring United Nations Human Rights Council Resolution 30/1 entitled “Promoting Reconciliation, Accountability and Human Rights in Sri Lanka”, the Sri Lankan government formally committed to embarking on a transitional justice process following three decades of armed conflict. Several thousand people allegedly disappeared during this period, often in connection with the armed conflict or as a result of internal disturbances. It is in this context that the Office on Missing Persons (OMP) was operationalized in 2018. This article discusses the nature of tracing

Abstract:

The object of this paper is to describe the details of a vessel explosion caused by human error, the incident investigation including engineering analysis of the explosion observations, and the recommended changes that were implemented to avoid a similar incident in the future. Fortunately, this incident did not cause any personal injuries. Stress analysis of the Breech Nut threads was performed to determine if the Breech Nut could be safely used after the incident. Released energy and missile analyses were performed to verify the assumptions made on the source of the explosion.
