Migration, Repression and Homosexual Sociability in Francoist Spain: An Analysis of the Case Files of the Special Courts of Barcelona (1965–1975)

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Spain, under General Franco's regime, homosexuality was regarded as an antisocial and dangerous behaviour. It was thus pursued both by the police and judicial courts. The Law on Vagrants and Crooks (1954) and, subsequently, the Law on Dangerousness and Social Rehabilitation (1970) constituted the legal mechanisms used by the dictatorship to

In vitro and in vivo metabolism profiles of cathinone and pseudoephedrine: Discrimination between khat and pseudoephedrine uses

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract In the present study, the metabolism of khat (Catha edulis) and pseudoephedrine was compared with the aim of identifying objective criteria that could be used to discriminate between them for forensic and doping‐control purposes. An in vitro study using human liver microsomes and an in vivo study using rat urine were performed under harmonized

Postmortem submergence interval (PMSI) and human decomposition in anthropogenically constructed aqueous environments (pools, bathtubs, hot tubs, and spas)

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Postmortem decomposition changes of bodies in aquatic environments may offer valuable insights into the postmortem submergence interval (PMSI) for medicolegal death investigators. However, the effects of immersion on the onset of such changes are poorly understood.

From bias awareness to governance control: Regulating human factors across the forensic science evidence lifecycle

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Cognitive bias is widely recognized as a persistent source of error in forensic science, yet mitigation efforts continue to emphasize examiner awareness, ethical vigilance, and training‐based interventions. Empirical evidence from cognitive science demonstrates that such approaches are insufficient to reliably control bias under real‐world ...

Europium‐ and dysprosium‐modified strontium aluminate: A luminescent marker system for enhanced gunshot residue detection

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Forensic ballistics is essential in analyzing evidence from firearm use in criminal investigations, with gunshot residue (GSR) detection providing key information about the firearm and shooting conditions. Traditional methods like spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have limitations in sensitivity, cost, and accessibility ...

Insights from a six‐year hair drug analysis compendium in drug‐facilitated crimes involving vulnerable population cases

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Hair analysis is a well‐established matrix in forensic toxicology, offering a valuable alternative or complement to traditional matrices in diverse contexts, including drug‐facilitated crimes (DFC), elder abuse, and accidental exposure in children.

Insights from a 6‐year hair drug analysis compendium in drug‐facilitated sexual assault cases

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Drug‐facilitated sexual assault (DFSA) may involve a diverse array of substances, including illicit drugs, prescription medications, and over‐the‐counter pharmaceuticals. Hair analysis has emerged as a valuable forensic tool, offering an extended window of detection spanning several months. However, interpreting drug concentrations in hair can

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 ...
