Relationships between human tibia diaphysis shape and experimental injury outcomes

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 1979-1992, September 2026.
Abstract Interpretation is central to skeletal trauma analysis; however, the influence of intrinsic skeletal variation, such as long bone shape, on injury is not fully understood. While previous studies have emphasized extrinsic variables such as loading rate, direction, and number of impacts, this study investigates whether diaphyseal shape variation ...

Evaluation of bone preparation approaches using length‐based analysis and targeted sequencing for forensic human identification of historic skeletal remains

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 2040-2050, September 2026.
Abstract Advances in DNA technology have significantly enhanced the forensic community's ability to develop genetic profiles from unidentified human skeletal remains. However, sampling requires mechanical grinding of hard tissues before DNA isolation. This processing can compromise genetic profiles, particularly in aged bones.

Sharp force trauma analysis without animal bones: A proposal for sustainable and ethical bone proxies

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 2334-2344, September 2026.
Abstract Sharp force trauma has been the leading cause of homicide in England and Wales for more than a decade. Experimental research on sharp force trauma frequently relies on animal bone as a substitute for human remains, yet their ethical acceptability and comparability to human bone remain contested.

Forensic bruise documentation with alternate light sources: Preliminary observation on deceased individuals in a routine illuminated autopsy setting

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 2386-2394, September 2026.
Abstract Alternate light sources (ALS) have been suggested to improve bruise visibility for medicolegal evaluations. Previous studies have recommended darkened conditions; however, this does not reflect real‐life autopsy settings, where multiple examinations are conducted simultaneously and turning off the lights is neither practical nor safe.

Critical Research Spaces as Scholarship: an Ethnography Lab as an Apparatus for the Experimental, the Imaginary, and the Relational

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 469-479, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The creation of critical research spaces, such as ethnography labs, studios, and other collaborative research environments, requires attention and attunement in anthropology to focus on the kinds of imaginative and generative spaces where creative ethnographic research can unfold as scholarship.

The Mutable Original: How Chinese Counterfeits Become Nigerian Originals in African Markets

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 581-594, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Affordable Chinese copies of Western brands are ubiquitous in African markets. Despite democratizing consumer access, these goods appear to cement hegemonic value hierarchies that rank Chinese or local products as inferior to Western goods.

Persons Enough to Punish: Illegality, Deportability and the Hierarchy of Personhood in US Immigration

International Migration, Volume 64, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper argues that contemporary United States immigration law and policy construct a hierarchy of personhood for undocumented migrants which better explains their status as opposed to a classic binary framework of citizen/migrant. It develops a four‐layer conceptual framework of personhood including baseline personhood, membership ...

The medico‐legal autopsy: medicine, expertise, and death investigation

Journal of Law and Society, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 474-495, September 2026.
Abstract This article sheds important new light on the hybrid space between medicine and law in which medico‐legal autopsies are situated. By examining original empirical data obtained during interviews with pathologists, I reveal a web of authority claims both within the profession and in its relationship to law.

Is It a Southern Thing? Linguistic Stereotyping in Earwitnesses’ Descriptions of Italian Accents

Journal of Sociolinguistics, Volume 30, Issue 4, Page 411-425, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines how linguistic stereotypes affect hearer perceptions of different speakers’ accents focusing on two Italian regional varieties: one from the South and one from the North. Three studies explored the effects of selective attention, confirmation bias, and cultural context.
