Abstract

ABSTRACT A retrospective study of 2723 fire debris samples from 930 cases submitted from across Canada between 1 January 2011 and 31 December 2016 to the RCMP forensic laboratory was conducted. A total of 326 samples of fire debris were not accepted for analysis owing to incorrect or improper packaging and the reasons why these samples were rejected are summarized. Of the 2397 samples from 886 cases accepted for analysis, 63% of the cases had at least one sample that tested positive for an ignitable liquid. Gasoline was the most commonly identified ignitable liquid. While arson is primarily a property-based offence, nearly one quarter (23%) of all arson cases submitted to our laboratory were classified by the investigating agency as a person-based offence; the majority of these cases (84%) were related to a homicide.
2011-2016年加拿大火灾碎片个案调查
摘要对2011年1月1日至2016年12月31日期间从加拿大各地提交给加拿大皇家骑警法医实验室的930起案件中的2723份火灾碎片样本进行了回顾性研究。由于包装不正确或不当,共有326个火灾碎片样本未被接受分析,并总结了这些样本被拒绝的原因。在886例接受分析的2397份样本中,63%的病例至少有一份样本的可燃液体检测呈阳性。汽油是最常见的可燃液体。虽然纵火主要是基于财产的犯罪,但在提交给我们实验室的所有纵火案件中,近四分之一(23%)被调查机构归类为基于人身的犯罪;这些案件中的大多数(84%)与凶杀案有关。
