Proper evidence collection is important for a successful legal prosecution. The earlier a survivor arrives for evaluation in the emergency department, the greater the chance of obtaining critical forensic evidence such as DNA samples. When patients delay presentation, or shower and change their clothes, relevant microscopic and macroscopic evidence is often lost. Evidence collection, including injury documentation, becomes less fruitful as time passes and tissue heals. Medical documentation has been shown to be positively associated with filing of charges and conviction. A Retrospective analysis of 67 cases of sexual assault examined at Department of Forensic Medicine at SMS medical college from 1st Jan to 31st Oct, 2020 was done, The clinical findings of the survivors were correlated to the time duration elapsed between incidence and medico-legal examination for all cases. 15 out of 67 cases (22%) were reported within 72 hrs; out of which 9 (60%) cases had corroborative clinical findings, 45 (67%)cases, who had reported later than 7 days only 1 (2%) had corroborative clinical findings. delayed reporting is most common hurdle for corroboration of material evidence and alleged accusation in these cases, The correlation of time of examination and clinical findings, in the present study, questions the relevance of mandatory medical examination in all cases.","PeriodicalId":516766,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140503919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study focuses on the analysis of signature patterns using various parameters, including aspect ratio, angle of the first letter with respect to the baseline, and the ratio of the area of a circle to its radius within the signature. A dataset consisting of 1200 genuine and 1200 simulated (English) signature samples from 12 individuals were examined using an image analysis tool to record measurements for these parameters. The primary objectives were to investigate the consistency of signatures within the same person and to compare genuine signatures with simulated ones. This study contributes to the field of forensic investigations by offering insights into the authentication of signatures and the measurement of dissimilarities between signatures of the same and different individuals based on their patterns. The findings aid in identifying most influential parameter in distinguishing genuine signatures from counterfeits and enhance the evidential value of handwritten signature samples. Additionally, the simplified approach employed in this study allows for universal applicability across languages. Future research endeavours could expand the dataset and explore additional parameters to further improve the accuracy and reliability of signature verification methods in forensic analysis.","PeriodicalId":516766,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140503798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It consists of a mixture of organic remains, clay, and rock particles, which gives it its uniqueness from place to place. Because of the uniqueness of soil, it has a high evidential value in the field of forensic science. In the present study, research has been conducted to check the range of variations in the soil collected from different crime-prone areas of Kottayam and Kollam districts of Kerala by physical, chemical, microscopic, and instrumental examination. In physical examination, soil colour, texture, consistency, and density were measured, and in chemical examination, pH and total soluble sulphate of the soil were measured. In instrumental examination, Heavy metal analysis was done by using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS), which helps to measure the amount of trace elements present in the soil. The study found that each soil has some significant variations that make it unique. In the field of forensic science, this can be highly helpful in determining the origin of soil by examining its colour, texture, structure, content, etc.","PeriodicalId":516766,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140503642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Domestic violence abuse is usually considered a problem that requires involvement of police or social services and not a problem that requires dental interference, but it is important to take under consideration that other services may even not be approached by the victim due to various reasons6. However, they may approach a dentist for facial trauma.Hence it is important to understand awareness, attitude and behaviour of dentists towards domestic violence victim patients.Materials and Methods: in this cross-sectional study, a self- administered, structured questionnaire was sent to dentists practicing in central India. Collected data were subjected to statistical analysis using Chi-square test, and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Result: Mostly dentists were aware about and have heard about domestic violence in practice. As many as 37.6% dentist have encountered domestic violence victims in their practice but only 11.7% participants took any measures to record or report or refer DV victimsConclusion: As dental professionals are usually the first line of contact for patient with head and neck trauma,they would need to undergo special training to identify, support, and treat domestic violence patients.","PeriodicalId":516766,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140504008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
