  Scientific Evaluation of Forensic Biology & Serology Technology in the 21st Century. By GOWTHAM T - Volunteer of C.A.S.E. 23 Official. The document explores the rapid advancements in forensic biology and serology over the past two decades, emphasizing their growing importance in solving crimes through the examination of biological evidence. Evolution and Impact Forensic biology analyzes biological materials including blood, saliva, and DNA to tie suspects to crime scenes. Serology, on the other hand, examines body fluids to identify antigens and antibodies. Traditional procedures such as blood typing and serological testing have developed over time into very accurate DNA profiling approaches. DNA profiling, particularly Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) amplification and Short Tandem Repeat (STR) analysis, has transformed criminal investigation by delivering precise identifications even from damaged or limited materials.                 ...

  Wound Ballistics : Understanding the Impact of Projectiles on Living Tissue. By Gopi Reddy Kurri (Volunteer at C.A.S.E. 23 OFFICIAL) Introduction : Wound ballistics is a specialized subfield of ballistics that studies the effects of projectiles on living tissue. This area of study is crucial for understanding how different types of ammunition can cause injuries, which is essential for forensic investigations, medical treatment, and legal proceedings. By analyzing the behavior of bullets upon impact, forensic experts can provide valuable insights into the nature and severity of injuries sustained by victims. The Basics of Wound Ballistics: Definition and Scope: Wound ballistics focuses on the interaction between a projectile and biological tissues. It examines how bullets penetrate, transfer energy, and create damage within the body. This field encompasses various factors, including the type of projectile, its velocity, and the distance from which it was fired.   Key Concepts...

  Firearms and Neuroscience: A Glimpse into the Shooter's Mind. - By Saanvi Soni (Volunteer at C.A.S.E. 23 OFFICIAL) Firearm use and diagnostic methods intersect in terms of the investigation of psychological and neuropsychological aspects underlying the shooting behavior. Evolving this question within the scope of the shooter's mind, justice has to understand to what extent stress, adrenaline, and cognitive activities determine the making of decisions and performance in functional actions under pressure. Due to the development of neuroscience, it has been to some extent conceptualized how an individual respond to threats, evaluates risks, and how training can alter performance. Such integrated methods clarify not only how shooting is executed, but also how feelings, thoughts and behaviors interact, contributing to the understanding of single acts with firearms more in depth as well as their uses in society. Interestingly, not everybody who undergoes such triggers becomes a sh...
