A green and sensitive hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction coupled with gas chromatographic method for forensic pesticide analysis in necrophagous larvae
Conventional extraction of organophosphorus (OP) pesticides from necrophagous larvae relies on toxic chlorinated solvents, risking environmental and analyst safety. To address this, we developed a green dispersive liquid–liquid microextr...

Perceived criminal behavior in frontotemporal dementia: A 10‐year retrospective analysis of forensic cases in Türkiye
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is associated with a disproportionately high risk of behavior perceived as criminal, yet systematic forensic data from non‐Western settings remain scarce. This retrospective descriptive study characterized t...

Region‐of‐interest geometry optimization for shooting‐distance estimation from flash‐pulse infrared thermography of gunshot residue on textile targets
Shooting‐distance estimation from gunshot‐residue (GSR) patterns on textiles is affected by substrate properties, residue distribution, and region‐of‐interest (ROI) definition. This study evaluated how ROI geometry influences muzzle‐to‐t...

Criminal dismemberments: Victim, suspect, and incident attributes of decapitation‐only and dismemberment homicides
Using cases of criminal dismemberment in the CDC's National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS), we directly compared decapitation‐only and dismemberment homicides. We also explored clusters of victim, suspect, and incident variables,...

Adult age estimation from the pubic symphysis and sternal rib: A combined Bayesian revision of the Hartnett methods
Two of the most commonly used methods for adult age estimation in forensic anthropology utilize the pubic symphysis on the pubic bone and the sternal end of the fourth rib. Currently, there are no age estimation methods that combine visu...

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

One blotter stamp: Identification of multiple phenethylamine new psychoactive substances and unambiguous differentiation of two isomers
In recent years, new psychoactive substances (NPSs) have emerged continuously, often concealed in carriers such as blotter stamps, tobacco, and beverages, posing serious challenges to drug control and forensic identification. In this stu...
