Recent years have shown a growing effort in the evaluation of DNA given activity level propositions. Yet, its implementation remains challenging for forensic scientists due to the complexity of assessing relevant DNA TPPR mechanisms. One particular challenge is the sparsity of relevant experimental data …

Een beschrijving van hoe een digitaal forensisch onderzoek werkt: van het veiligstellen van gegevens en het analyseren van digitale sporen tot wat ervoor nodig is om deze sporen te duiden en te gebruiken voor de opsporing, vervolging en bewijsvoering in strafzaken. Wat ooit begon als een specialistisch …

In Nederland is verplichte psychische zorg geregeld via de Wet verplichte geestelijke gezondheidszorg. Uit onderzoek blijkt dat verplichte zorg vaak leidt tot wantrouwen richting zorgverleners. Op de afdeling van de student hbo-v wordt zorg verleend aan patiënten met ernstige psychiatrische aandoeningen. …

Highlights • Mandates standardised protocols for the publication of DNA transfer and recovery data to ensure consistency • Requires open-sharing of non-allelic experimental and casework data in accessible formats to build a databank. • Specifies use of fully continuous probabilistic genotyping and NIST …

Accurate and reliable decision-making in the criminal justice system depends on accurate expert reporting and on the correct interpretation of evidence by the judges, prosecutors, and defense lawyers. The present study aims to gain insight into the judiciary's capability to assess the accuracy and reliability …

Digital forensic scientists primarily rely on individual internal reasoning and categorical conclusions when evaluating evidence in casework. This can make it difficult to maintain structured reasoning that is logically sound, balanced, robust, and transparent. Trojan horse defense cases exemplify these …

Within Human Activity Recognition (HAR), there is an insurmountable gap between the range of activities performed in life and those that can be captured in an annotated sensor dataset used in training. Failure to properly handle unseen activities seriously undermines any HAR classifier's reliability. …

Residential burglaries often go unsolved, as collected DNA traces and fingermarks frequently originate from residents rather than the offender. It is therefore important to know how to target sampling locations that specifically relate to the burglary event. However, data that aid in assessing the likelihood …
