Indirect fractures in long bones resulting from gunshot trauma: Occurrence, characterization, and need for additional research

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Indirect fractures from gunshot wounds can occur when a projectile impacts soft tissue without making direct contact with the bone. Existing biomechanical and clinical research suggests that indirect fractures result in lower levels of comminution, and that resultant fracture patterns can resemble those seen in blunt force trauma (e.g., wedge ...

Suicides disguised as homicides through weapon concealment: A two‐way copycat phenomenon between fiction and real world

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Suicides disguised as homicides present a persistent challenge in forensic case analysis, particularly when the weapon is deliberately removed after discharge. This study investigates the evolution of weapon concealment techniques—specifically the “load‐and‐rope” and “helium balloon‐tied gun” methods—across documented casework, forensic ...

New PMCT multi‐indicator ossification standards for age estimation of the knee in modern Australian and North American children

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Skeletal age estimation is crucial to medicolegal work, aiding subadult identification, and living age assessments in legal contexts. This study aims to document the ontogeny of knee skeletal indicators on post‐mortem computed tomography (PMCT), and quantify interpopulation variation between modern American and Australian children.

Exploring feature variability in digitally captured signatures—Part I: Variability in genuine signatures and the effects of collection sessions and writing position

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Digitally captured signatures (DCSs) pose new challenges for forensic handwriting examination compared with paper‐based signatures. While DCSs provide spatial coordinates, time and force values for forensic examination, the variability of the features derived from these data remains insufficiently understood.

Exploring feature variability in digitally captured signatures—Part II: Discrimination between genuine and simulated signatures and the effects of collection sessions and writing position

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated the discrimination between genuine and simulated digitally captured signatures (DCSs) to support their forensic examination. The dataset included genuine questioned signatures from 65 writers, collected across multiple sessions and in three writing positions, together with reference signatures collected in the standard ...

Proposition for the analysis of background toner distribution to sequence ink lines and printing with a statistical method

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Determining the sequence of handwriting and laser‐printed text on documents that do not intersect is a recurring challenge in forensic document examination. This study proposes using background toner particle distribution analysis combined with kernel density estimation and likelihood ratio calculation to evaluate printing–writing sequence ...

Forensic challenges in a case of suspected filicide, matricide, and post‐mortem dismemberment

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Familicide represents one of the most complex forms of domestic violence in forensic practice. Among intrafamilial homicides, filicide and matricide pose major medico‐legal and criminological challenges, particularly when autopsy findings are nonspecific or severely altered by post‐mortem changes.

Digital forensic certification versus forensic science certification

open access: yes, 2008
Companies often rely on certifications to select appropriate individuals in disciplines such as accounting and engineering. The general public also tends to have confidence in a professional who has some kinds of certification because certification ...
