3D‐printed wound channels

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Although soft tissue simulants are widely used in ballistic research, glycerine soap is the only material that offers a clear view of the temporary cavity of a wound channel without the use of optical apparatus. However, the latter still shows some inconvenience mostly on its weight and its dehydration process when cut, making it challenging ...

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

Journal 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

Journal 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

Journal 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

Journal 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.

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

Journal 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

Journal 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.

Reading between the lesions: Recognizing intent in pediatric burn injuries

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Burn injuries are common in childhood and may occur in accidental or non‐accidental circumstances, making forensic interpretation challenging. Evaluation is difficult when clinical findings, reported history, and contextual evidence are incomplete or discordant.

The company you keep: The influence of popular delinquents and deviant brokers on offending trajectories

Criminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Research on how delinquent peer associations affect individuals’ life courses is limited. This paper addresses this gap by examining delinquent peer network characteristics and their impact on offending trajectories through social network analysis (SNA) and group‐based trajectory modeling (GBTM).
