Dankzij een enorm aantal digitale sporen konden forensisch onderzoekers de werkwijze van de aanvallers op de Universiteit Maastricht achteraf precies analyseren. Wie, wat, waar en wanneer wordt dankzij al die sporen met behulp van datascience heel duidelijk. Dergelijk digitaal bewijs wordt dan ook steeds …

De tientallen miljarden slimme apparaten en smartphones die nu al het internet of things (IoT) vormen, laten een enorme hoeveelheid digitale sporen na. Een deel daarvan is zeer bruikbaar voor forensisch onderzoek. Met behulp van datascience kunnen volgens Hans Henseler en Christianne de Poot veel betere …

Traces of condom lubricants in fingerprints can be valuable information in cases of sexual assault. Ideally, not only confirmation of the presence of the condom but also determination of the type of condom brand used can be retrieved. Previous studies have shown to be able to retrieve information about …

Fingerprints are widely used in forensic science for individualization purposes. However, not every fingermark found at a crime scene is suitable for comparison, for instance due to distortion of ridge detail, or when the reference fingerprint is not in the database. To still retrieve information from …

Fingermarks are highly relevant in criminal investigations for individualization purposes. In some cases, the question in court changes from ‘Who is the source of the fingermarks?’ to ‘How did the fingermark end up on the surface?’. In this paper, we explore evaluation of fingermarks given activity level …

The amino acid profile obtained from a fingerprint may provide valuable information on its donor. Unfortunately, the collection of chemicals from the fingerprint is often destructive to the fingerprint ridge detail. Herein we detail the use of cross-linkable solutions of dextran-methacrylate to form …

This article describes ongoing research on the application of AI techniques such as Graph Neural Networks to assist investigators with the discovery of relations and patterns in digital forensic evidence. Digital forensic analysis of smartphones and computers reveals forensic artifacts that are extracted …

Highlights •Crime scene investigations are accompanied by cognitive challenges. •Introducing technologies at crime scenes requires research into the human factor. •Mobile technologies can impede the investigation without studying the impact.

In 2016 kreeg de Boog te maken met een forse toename van veiligheidsincidenten met patiënten. Naar aanleiding van de toename van de veiligheidsincidenten binnen de Boog in 2016 is er in 2017 door middel van een prospectieve risico inventarisatie (hierna te noemen: PRI) onderzoek gedaan naar risico’s …

Mobile Rapid DNA technology is close to being incorporated into crime scene investigations, with the potential to identify a perpetrator within hours. However, the use of these techniques entails the risk of losing the sample and potential evidence, because the device not only consumes the inserted sample, …
