Long‐term regular follow‐up yields important benefits in forensic psychiatric patients with psychosis: A 2‐year longitudinal study on psychopathology, general health, quality of life, and functioning

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Forensic psychiatric patients often present with severe psychopathology, functional impairment, and poor quality of life. Longitudinal follow‐up studies in forensic psychiatric outpatient populations remain limited. The objective is to assess psychopathology, quality of life, global functioning, and general health in forensic psychiatric ...

Advancing fetal autopsy in cases of maceration: Underwater dissection technique and its forensic relevance

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Fetal autopsy remains essential for determining the cause of intrauterine death and for supporting clinical, genetic, and forensic evaluations. However, in cases of advanced maceration, autolysis severely compromises tissue integrity, often preventing adequate identification of anatomical structures and limiting the diagnostic and medico‐legal

Recovery of male DNA acquired from carrion‐feeding insects in a simulated sexual assault scenario

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract When bodies of sexual assault victims are discovered in advanced stages of decomposition, the recovery of direct DNA evidence is often compromised, posing a challenge in criminal investigations. This study aimed to determine insect colonization and succession patterns on pig carcasses inoculated with semen and to assess the feasibility of ...

Performance of DRNNAGE for macroscopic age‐at‐death estimation in contemporary Brazilian identified skeletons

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract In global forensic literature, methods for estimating age in young individuals are more commonly addressed than those applicable to adults. This trend is also evident in Brazil. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the DRNNAGE software for age estimation in Brazilian identified human skeletons. The sample consisted of 400 skeletons (

A 1‐year forensic evaluation of DNA degradation and STR typing in embalmed human tissues: Muscle, brain, liver, and bone marrow

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Postmortem perfusion is a procedure which provides in‐vivo fixation of the human body and prevents organ and tissue decomposition after biological death occurs. Formaldehyde‐based embalming solutions influence nucleic acid degradation, which reduces the quality and quantity of DNA extracted and the effectiveness of short tandem repeat (STR ...

Cold storage effects on immature calliphoridae: Survival limits and forensic consequences for PMI estimation

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated the effects of continuous refrigeration (4°C ± 2°C and 50% ± 5% RH) on the development and survival of immature stages (eggs, first, second, and third instar larvae, and pupae) of four forensically important blowfly species (Chrysomya megacephala, Chrysomya putoria, Hemilucilia segmentaria, and Lucilia cuprina) compared

Defining and measuring homicide rates for birth cohorts: Methodological and theoretical challenges and solutions

Criminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Social scientists have long been interested in understanding how age, period, and cohort effects shape long‐term homicide trends. Yet fundamental measurement challenges remain pervasive in estimating age‐specific homicide rates for birth cohorts.
