Abstract

In forensic paint examination, paint traces retrieved on a crime scene are regularly compared to painted objects seized from a suspect. Less often, traces are only observed on the seized objects and compared to a damaged painted object on the crime scene. In some specific cases, paint traces may be found both on the crime scene and on one or multiple seized painted objects. The latter may be the result of a cross-transfer that occurred during the illicit act. However, mere coincidence is another possible explanation for these observations and may not be neglected. Proper consideration of the relevant populations and sufficient analytical data permits the evaluation of the results given activity level propositions. This allows the forensic expert to present a transparent and well-balanced statement on the value of their findings concerning the disputed issues in court.

盗窃现场油漆交叉转移的解读 - 案例报告

在法医油漆检验中，在犯罪现场发现的油漆痕迹通常会与从嫌疑人身上缴获的油漆物品进行比较。比较少见的情况是，只在缴获的物品上观察油漆痕迹，然后与犯罪现场受损的油漆物品进行比较。在某些特殊情况下，在犯罪现场和一件或多件缴获的油漆物品上都可能发现油漆痕迹。后者可能是非法行为中发生的交叉转移的结果。然而，单纯的巧合也可能是这些观察结果的另一种解释，不可忽视。对相关人群和充分的分析数据进行适当考虑后，就可以根据活动水平命题对结果进行评估。这样，法医专家就可以在法庭上就其与争议问题有关的研究结果的价值发表透明、平衡的声明。

期刊介绍： Science & Justice provides a forum to promote communication and publication of original articles, reviews and correspondence on subjects that spark debates within the Forensic Science Community and the criminal justice sector. The journal provides a medium whereby all aspects of applying science to legal proceedings can be debated and progressed. Science & Justice is published six times a year, and will be of interest primarily to practising forensic scientists and their colleagues in related fields. It is chiefly concerned with the publication of formal scientific papers, in keeping with its international learned status, but will not accept any article describing experimentation on animals which does not meet strict ethical standards. Promote communication and informed debate within the Forensic Science Community and the criminal justice sector. To promote the publication of learned and original research findings from all areas of the forensic sciences and by so doing to advance the profession. To promote the publication of case based material by way of case reviews. To promote the publication of conference proceedings which are of interest to the forensic science community. To provide a medium whereby all aspects of applying science to legal proceedings can be debated and progressed. To appeal to all those with an interest in the forensic sciences.
