Analysis of indole and indazole amides synthetic cannabinoids by differential Raman...
A simple, rapid, accurate, and non‐destructive method was developed for the determination of cannabinoids, combining principal component analysis and multi‐layer perceptron neural network to classify indole and indazole amide synthetic cannabinoids. Under the experimental conditi...
Accuracy of forensic pathologists in incorporating post‐mortem CT (PMCT) in forensic death...
Post‐mortem computed tomography (PMCT) is now performed routinely in some medical examiner's offices, and the images are typically interpreted by forensic pathologists. In this study, the question of whether pathologists appropriately identify significant PMCT findings and i...
Using social network analysis to examine gun violence
Research has found gun violence is a social contagion that spreads from one individual to another. To understand the social networks of violence, previous research has used social network analysis, a tool that explores the relationships between social actors. Most of the prior re...

Carrion flies (Insecta: Diptera) found on human cadavers in Chiba prefecture, Honshu,...
Forensic entomology (FE) involves the collection and analysis of necrophagous insects and arthropods for postmortem interval estimation based on their growth and succession. In Japan, research on FE is limited, and the predominant species of necrophagous insects and their distrib...
Forensic anthropology casework at the Cook County Illinois Medical Examiner's Office,...
Forensic anthropology has grown in recent years with increased methodological standardization, technical advancements, and increasing numbers of academic institutions offering coursework and programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels. However, few practicing forensic anthr...
The characterization of disperse dyes in polyester fibers using DART mass spectrometry
Textile fibers alone are highly prevalent in our environment, and not only are there a wide variety of fibers, but generally, consumer textiles are colored. Given the variety of crime locations where dyes are encountered and the potential circumstances, a rapid, preparation free ...
Analysis of the genealogy process in forensic genetic genealogy
The genealogy process is typically the most time‐consuming part of — and a limiting factor in the success of — forensic genetic genealogy, which is a new approach to solving violent crimes and identifying human remains. We formulate a stochastic dynamic program that — given...

Population identification strategies for counterfeit coin detection
Advances in manufacturing, 3‐d imaging, and globalization have led to a rise in fraudulent coinage and a world‐wide interest in coin authentication. Modern manufacturing methods allow the alloy, construction, and struck image of coins to be more readily reproduced. Larger coin de...
