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:

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

Abstract:

DNA analysis plays a crucial role in forensic investigations, helping in criminal cases, missing persons inquiries, and archaeological research. This study focuses on the DNA concentration in different skeletal elements to improve human identification efforts. Ten cases of unidentified skeletal remains brought to the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Timisoara, Romania, underwent DNA analysis between 2019 and 2023. The results showed that teeth are the best source for DNA extraction as they contain the highest concentration of genetic material, at 3.68 ng/µL, compared to the petrous temporal b

Abstract:

While the efficacies of the newly developed mRNA and vector vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 have been widely advertised, their harm-to-benefit ratio remains almost completely ignored, though reports of possible “side effects” (some of them lethal) keep piling up. The most severe of those adverse events is sudden death. Until now, to the best of our knowledge, in Germany at least reliable estimates of how many deaths may actually have been caused by SARS-CoV-2 vaccination are still missing. Here, we fill this void and provide such an estimate for Germany during the course of 2021. Thereto, the numb

Abstract:

Abstract Geoforensic techniques are being deployed in searches for hidden objects to counteract the shortcomings of conventional blunderbuss methods. Processing of crime scenes during searches for clandestine graves and buried objects is often destructive. Manual excavation and other invasive methods are restricted in many contemporary situations, and the location of a body is essential for forensic investigations. Geoforensics and geophysical surveys are important tools for assisting law enforcement agencies in locating crime scenes, clandestine graves, drugs, artifacts, hazardous waste, and

Abstract:

DNA profiling involves the analysis of sequences of an individual or mixed DNA profiles to identify the persons that these profiles belong to. A critically important application of DNA profiling is in forensic science to identify criminals by finding a match between their blood samples and the DNA profile found on the crime scene. Other applications include paternity tests, disaster victim identification, missing person investigations, and mapping genetic diseases. A crucial task in DNA profiling is the determination of the number of contributors in a DNA mixture profile, which is challenging

Abstract:

Science and technology are extensively used in criminal investigation. From the mid- to late-1980s, one of the scientific discoveries that has had a particularly remarkable impact on this field has been the use of highly variable DNA sequence regions (minisatellites) in the human genome for individual identification. The technique was initially referred to as DNA fingerprinting, but is now more widely referred to as DNA profiling. Since then, many new developments have occurred within this area of science. These include the introduction of new genetic markers (microsatellites also known as sho

The extreme rainstorm flood disaster in Beijing on 31 July 2023 resulted in 33 fatalities and 18 missing persons, with direct economic losses across the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei metropolitan area exceeding RMB 10 billion. Despite its inland location, which is not conventionally classified as a flood-prone zone, Beijing is not conventionally considered a flood-prone region, yet it frequently experiences flood disasters, which has led to confusion and perplexity. This article collects records of historical flooding disasters in Beijing over the past 1000 years, spanning the Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qin

This paper approaches the topic of missing Serbs in Kosovo and Metohia by the application of the anthropological theoretical framework on waiting, which treats this waiting process as socially and politically constructed. Furthermore, it considers the role of the families of missing persons in memory praxis related to this humanitarian problem. By outlining the relevance of understanding the position of families of missing persons, it was shown that their personal stories contribute to the formation of a collective narrative, which is important to the wider community of displaced Serbs from Ko
