In some cases, the computer may have been used in order to commit the crime and in other cases the computer may have been the target of the crime. The oxford reference online defines ‘cyber-crime’ as crime committed over the Internet. The encyclopedia Britannica defines ‘cyber-crime’ as any crime that is committed by means of special knowledge or expert use of computer technology. So what exactly is cyber-crime? Cyber-crime could reasonably include a wide variety of criminal offences and activities. A generalized definition of cyber-crime may be ‘unlawful acts wherein the computer is either a tool or target or both’. The Cyber-crime can be generally defined as a criminal activity in which information technology systems are the means used for the commission of the crime (Figure 1).

In particular the identification of Menstrual (liquid or stain) is often a key step during the investigation of rape case. This paper presents a method which is simple and easy for the differentiating menstrual blood from normal blood through its composition. In this microscopic analysis, hemoglobin content, RBC and WBC count was done as a preliminary study to distinguish the type of blood samples. The attempt has been made to determine the blood group from liquid menstrual blood by using antiserum ABH. Forensic analysis was done by performing confirmatory test of normal blood using Teichmann reagent which gives negative result with menstrual blood can be a good parameter for differentiating the menstrual blood from normal blood.","PeriodicalId":93024,"journal":{"name":"Journal of forensic sciences & criminal investigation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45410878","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 evaluates how civil commitment criteria, functional status, institutional constraints, social bias, and procedural justice indicators are likely to impact denial of care decisions, and considers 12 month outcomes.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>PES evaluations of 583 patients in 9 California county general hospitals were examined via logit modeling to determine those factors contributing to the decision to deny access to inpatient care. Differences in the importance of influences on the decision making process and outcomes at 12 months are examined in two contrasts: first, admitted and released patients seeking care, then, the latter group versus all other patients. Outcome measures include numbers of deaths, violent crimes, and involuntary readmissions to the PES.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Of the patients evaluated, 8.4 % were denied access to inpatient care despite their avowed wish to be hospitalized. When compared to admitted patients seeking hospitalization or to all other patients, analyses show that clinicians relied on civil commitment admission criteria and the availability of a less restrictive alternative to the hospital in making decisions on patient retention. When compared with all other patients, the probability of unwanted release was greater for individuals evaluated in difficult circumstances, for those without insurance, and for those with higher functional status. Fewer deaths were observed in the group denied admission, though no other significant outcome differences were observed.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Dangerousness and mental disorder in the absence of a less restrictive alternative to hospitalization, along with an overall assessment of the patient's functional status, are effectively employed as triage criteria in determining who is denied access to inpatient care following PES evaluation. While some higher functioning individuals are subjected to a variant standard of access to inpatient care because of a lack of insurance, and endure the misfortune of being evaluated under difficult clinical circumstances, outcomes seem contingent on clinicians' ability to distinguish between groups on the aforementioned triage criteria.</p>","PeriodicalId":93024,"journal":{"name":"Journal of forensic sciences & criminal investigation","volume":"2 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7434094/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38294130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
