Damaged Fingerprint Recognition by Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory Networks for Forensic Purposes [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Fingerprint recognition is often a game-changing step in establishing evidence against criminals. However, we are increasingly finding that criminals deliberately alter their fingerprints in a variety of ways to make it difficult for technicians and automatic sensors to recognize their fingerprints, making it tedious for investigators to establish ...

A Bayesian Model of the Litigation Game [PDF]
European Journal of Legal Studies, vol. 4, no. 2 (Autumn/Winter
2011), pp. 220-240, 2015 Over a century ago, Oliver Wendell Holmes invited scholars to look at the law through the lens of probability theory: "The prophecies of what the courts will do in fact, and nothing more pretentious, are what I mean by the law." Yet few legal scholars have taken up this intriguing invitation. As such, in place of previous approaches to the study of law,

Specialization in Criminal Careers [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 We use a comprehensive longitudinal dataset on criminal acts over five years in a European country to study specialization in criminal careers. We cluster crime categories by their relative co-occurrence within criminal careers, deriving a natural, data-based taxonomy of criminal specialization.

Behind the (Digital Crime) Scenes: An MSC Model [PDF]
Criminal investigations are inherently complex as they typically involve interactions among various actors like investigators, prosecutors, and defendants. The pervasive integration of technology in daily life adds an extra layer of complexity, especially in crimes that involve a digital element. The establishment of digital forensics as a foundational

TransCrimeNet: A Transformer-Based Model for Text-Based Crime Prediction in Criminal Networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 This paper presents TransCrimeNet, a novel transformer-based model for predicting future crimes in criminal networks from textual data. Criminal network analysis has become vital for law enforcement agencies to prevent crimes. However, existing graph-based methods fail to effectively incorporate crucial textual data like social media posts and ...

Using Regression Kernels to Forecast A Failure to Appear in Court [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Forecasts of prospective criminal behavior have long been an important feature of many criminal justice decisions. There is now substantial evidence that machine learning procedures will classify and forecast at least as well, and typically better, than logistic regression, which has to date dominated conventional practice.

Innovating to amplify the voices of young people from marginalized ethnic migrant backgrounds
American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract The meaningful participation of young people from marginalized ethnic backgrounds in civic processes is central to the social cohesion of increasingly diverse liberal democracies, but their participation is compromised by a range of barriers resulting in decision‐making that is disconnected from their lives.

“Who's breaking the law … not us, them!”: Inside immigration detention in Portugal
American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract In this paper, we examine immigration detention in Portugal, a system whose daily operations and inherent violence are overlooked in both public and academic discourses. Even within community psychology, discussions on immigration detention have largely remained on the fringes of scholarly debates. Guided by a justice‐centered ecological lens,

Carrying the Moral Burden of Safe Fieldwork
The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, Volume 104, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Fieldwork in ecology and the environmental sciences often leads to negative physical and emotional outcomes for workers. I argue that this is largely due to an abdication of responsibility on the part of their supervisors, and that supervisors are charged with carrying three interlinked moral burdens: first, the duty of promoting safety ...
