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.

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

Journal 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

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 ...

Effects of bleach on carcass postmortem microbiomes and necrophagous beetle carcass attendance and their internal microbiomes

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Forensic entomology, and potentially microbiology in the future, can be used during death investigations to corroborate an estimated time since death. Instances where products are introduced to a cadaver, either in attempt to conceal or by accident, can affect decomposition and succession of associated decomposer taxa (i.e., insects and ...

Forensic Facial Reconstruction: Review and Analysis of Scientific Research in Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Forensic Sciences, Medical Law and Bioethics, 2013
Forensic Facial Reconstruction (FFR) refers to any process that aims to recover the morphology of a face at the moment before death, from the observation of a skull. It’s a recognition method that allows direct investigations for primary methods of human

Field validation of blow fly age estimation methods for determining time of placement of human remains in Tennessee, USA

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Forensic entomology currently represents one of the best approaches for estimating the minimum postmortem interval (PMIMIN) in medicolegal death investigations given certain parameters and assumptions are met. However, validation of standard estimation methods used in this field are few and far between.

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.
