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 ...

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 ...

Thermal persistence and physicochemical modification of inorganic gunshot residue (IGSR)

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract In the medicolegal context, GSR analysis plays a key role in clarifying the dynamics of firearm‐related deaths, including lesion identification and firing distance determination. However, postmortem alterations of the body, such as thermal exposure, may influence the analysis of lesions and complicate interpretation.

Firearm sexual homicide offenders: Criminal careers, psychopathology, and offense conduct

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Most homicides are firearm‐perpetrated, but in sexual homicide, offenders are more likely to utilize personal weapons (e.g., hands and feet), contact weapons (e.g., blunt object), or edged weapons (e.g., knife) to comport with their fantasy life, motivational states, and psychopathology.
