ABSTRACT: Recent court challenges have highlighted the need for statistical research on fingerprint identification. This paper proposes a model computing likelihood ratios (LRs) to assess evidential value of comparisons with any number minutiæ. The considers minutiae type, direction and relative spatial relationships. It expands previous work three by adopting modeling using radial triangulation probabilistic distortion assessing numerator LR. has been tested sample 686 ulnar loops 204...
ABSTRACT: Recent challenges to fingerprint evidence have brought forward the need for peer‐reviewed scientific publications support evidential value assessment of fingerprint. This paper proposes some research directions gather statistical knowledge within‐source and between‐sources variability configurations three minutiæ on fingermarks fingerprints. use likelihood ratio (LR) approach assess evidence. The model explores contribution minutiae using Tippett plots related measures quality...
If Y-STR profiling is to be more effective in criminal casework, the methods used evaluate evidential weight require improvement. Many forensic scientists assign an by estimating number of times a profile obtained from questioned sample has been observed YHRD datasets. More sophisticated models have suggested but not yet implemented into routine e.g. Andersen & Balding [1]. Mutation inherent STR meiosis (or inheritance) and encountered practice. We evaluated mutation model that can...
Forensic DNA provides a striking contribution to the provision of justice worldwide. It has proven be crucial in investigative phase an unsolved crime where suspect needs identified, e.g. from database search both nationally and internationally. is also powerful tool assignment evidential weight comparison profile person interest scene profile. The focus this document evaluation autosomal profiles for criminal trials UK. A separate review covers investigation Y-STR profiles, using kinship...
<h2>Abstract</h2> The UK has had a National DNA Database [NDNAD] since 1995. It now contains more than 4.5 million records representing 7.5% of the population. Forensic Science Service introduced two additional services designed to supplement and enhance ability law enforcement agencies investigate offences. Both employ novel bespoke software that exploit data held on NDNAD greater effect using direct matching algorithms. first service, 'familial searching' [fDNA] was in 2003 been applied...
It is common in forensic anthropology to draw inferences (e.g., with respect biological sex of human remains) using statistical models applied anthropometric data. Commonly used can output posterior probabilities, but a threshold usually order obtain classification. In the forensic-anthropology literature, there some unease this "fall-off-the-cliff" approach. Proposals have been made exclude results that fall within "zone uncertainty", e.g., if probability for "male" greater than 0.95 then...
Controlled drug samples are normally chemically analysed to determine their identity and in some cases, purity. There also circumstances where a more broad chemical characterisation of may be required. This involves investigating the impurities that present sample as consequence synthesis. impurity or profiling can derived from drugs which synthesised extracted plant materials then modified chemically. Impurity provide insight into synthetic methods used sometimes starting chemicals used. We...
Ballistics (the linkage of bullets and cartridge cases to weapons) is a common type evidence encountered in criminal around the world. The interest lies determining whether two were fired using same firearm. This paper proposes an automated method classify from surface topography Land Engraved Area (LEA) images pellets machine deep learning methods. curvature was removed loess fit features extracted Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) followed by various entropy measures. informative...
