  By Alina prem (Garden city university, Msc Forensic science graduate, Bengaluru). Forensic geology is the important interdisciplinary science that incorporates the geological sciences into criminal investigations. Materials such as soil, rocks, and minerals, when analyzed by forensic geologists, provide critical evidence necessary to help in associating suspects with crime scenes, solutions of environmental crimes, and even in the identification of victims. Applications in Criminal Investigations: Forensic geology makes crucial contributions to criminal cases involving homicide, burglary, and environmental offenses. For instance, soil examination perhaps may indicate special geologic markers that would serve to positively identify a suspect as having been at a crime scene. This is based upon the "Locard Exchange Principle" that simply states that whenever two objects come into contact, materials will be exchanged between them. It has been used in high-profile cases, such ...

Introduction: FDP (Forensic DNA Phenotyping) is an emerging technology that relies on genetic information to predict physical properties ranging from skin color and hair color to eye color and even the structure of the facial form. It supports criminal investigations, where it allows researchers to produce a visual profile of an unknown suspect based solely on DNA samples. At the same time as it promises to crack especially those most difficult cases, especially cold cases, this technology raises a number of ethical dilemmas that must be solved in order to balance public safety with individual privacy.           Figure 1 Forensic DNA Phenotyping Privacy Matters: One of the most fundamental ethical issues has to do with privacy. Even though FDP screens for genes that determine physical characteristics, DNA contains a lot more sensitive informat...

  By: Karuna Ajith Kini, 1st Year M.Sc Forensic Science, Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore Introduction   The term ‘narco-analysis’, coined by Horsley is derived from the Greek word nark meaning anesthesia. It is a diagnostic and psychotherapeutic technique that uses psychotropic drugs like barbiturates to induce a stupor in which the mental elements come to the surface that can later be used by the investigator. The Indian Evidence Act remains silent on narco analysis but critics argue that it goes against the fundamental right granted by the constitution to right against self-incrimination. Testing: In India, the narco-analysis test is done by a team comprising an anesthesiologist, a psychiatrist, a clinical/ forensic psychologist, an audio-videographer, and supporting nursing staff. The test is conducted by mixing 3 grams of Sodium Pentothal or Sodium Amytal or Seconal or Hyoscine (scopolamine) and dissolving it in 3000 ml of distilled water. The chemical substance is a b...
