Using posterior probability informed thresholds to develop best practice recommendations...
MorphoPASSE is a free program that estimates sex based on morphological traits of the innominate, cranium, or a combined set of traits; however, MorphoPASSE does not provide recommendations on which set of traits performs best or recommend a posterior probability (PP) threshold f...

A comparative analysis of accuracy and sensitivity in semen testing: ABAcard p30™, RSID...
Confirmatory semen tests are used to determine the possible presence of semen in an evidence sample. Current test kits target proteins like PSA and semenogelin, but these markers can yield false positive results when identifying potential semen evidence. This study evaluated the ...

Cremation weights for an Italian contemporary sample
The increased demand for the study of cremated remains, combined with their poor state of preservation, presents anthropologists with highly complex and challenging cases. In this context, cremains weight is considered a stable parameter, not influenced by the fragmentation state...
The impact of institutional authority on forensic evidence evaluation by criminal justice...
Accurate and reliable decision‐making in the criminal justice system depends on accurate expert reporting and on the correct interpretation of evidence by the judges, prosecutors, and defense lawyers. The present study aims to gain insight into the judiciary's capability to ...
Cross‐comparison of barefoot and sock‐clad footprint evidence using an enhanced Siamese...
Traditional barefoot impression examination faces significant limitations in comparing impressions with sock‐clad impressions. This paper presents the first cross‐comparison study of barefoot and sock‐clad impressions in challenging mixed datasets. We propose an enhanced Siamese ...
A stochastic optimization approach for shredded document reconstruction in forensic...
Document shredding remains a common method for destroying sensitive information, creating significant challenges for forensic investigators seeking to recover such materials as evidence. This paper addresses shredded document reconstruction through a stochastic optimization appro...
Effect of liner properties on the analysis of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) analogs
Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and analogs are psychedelic drugs commonly submitted to forensic chemistry laboratories. These drugs are often present on items of evidence at low concentrations, requiring sensitive analyses to positively identify their presence. The injection po...
Synthesis, characterization, and binding interactions of rhodanine‐3‐acetic acid‐based...
Latent fingerprints constitute a cornerstone of forensic identification. However, their visualization is a technical challenge — highly dependent on the nature of the surface from where fingerprints are collected, environmental exposure, and the detection agent applied. Herein,...
