Som retsmediciner har Hans Petter Hougen set lidt af hvert, både når det gælder naturlige og mindre naturlige måder at komme af dage på. I denne bog gennemgår han drabsmetoder og kommer med eksempler fra blandt andet sit arbejde på Retsmedicinsk Institut i København og fra sin oplæring i Miami, USA. Hans Petter Hougen tager os også med ud til findesteds- og gerningsstedsundersøgelser og svarer på spørgsmål som: Hvordan finder retsmedicineren frem til en dødsårsag? Hvordan kan retsmedicinerens konklusioner hjælpe politiets efterforskning? Kan et drab kamufleres som ulykke eller naturlige årsager, og hvordan afslører retsmedicineren det? Udgivelsen er en storskrift-udgave til svagsynede i serien MAGNUMBØGER Lindhardt og Ringhof.

This superbly illustrated book examines all aspects of the use of modern post-mortem imaging in forensic investigations, which has flourished since the introduction of multidetector computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Readers will find guidance on the applications of all relevant imaging modalities and contrast media. Analogies and differences between forensic and clinical imaging are highlighted, and it is explained what lessons forensic imaging holds for clinical radiology, and vice versa. The remainder of the book comprehensively documents the typical "e;normal"e; post-mortem findings and the imaging presentations in various forms of trauma and nontraumatic forensic cases, including those in which medical liability may be an issue. The authors are radiologists and forensic radiologists from across the world who have extensive experience in post-mortem imaging. The book is primarily intended for forensic pathologists, radiologists, and radiographers seeking practical information on forensic imaging, but it will also be of interest to others, such as lawyers, who encounter this specialty during their professional activities. 

This is the story of one middle-aged woman in a cardigan determined to understand this growing phenomenon. No other woman has had so many online romances -- from Keanu Reeves to Brad Pitt to Prince William -- and Becky Holmes is a favourite among peacekeeping soldiers and oil rig workers who desperately need iTunes vouchers. By winding up scammers and investigating the truth behind their profiles, Becky shines a revealing, revolting and hilarious light on a very shady corner of the internet. Featuring first-hand accounts of victims, examples of scripts used by fraudsters, a look into the psychology of fraud and of course plenty of Becky's hysterical interactions with scammers, this is a must-read for anyone who needs a reminder that Keanu Reeves is NOT in love with them.

This book examines the study of psychopathy using behavioral ecological framework. It consists of two parts. The first describes the science of human behavioral ecology, including:¿ Basic concepts of evolutionary biology¿ Evolutionary behavioral sciences¿ Evolutionary ecology of family¿ Evolutionary tradeoffs¿ Life history theory¿ Behavioral ecology of personality¿ Psychopathy and its current evolution.The second part of the book describes empirical research on psychopathy in evolutionary ecological context, aiming to explore fertility-longevity tradeoffs in psychopathy, interacting phenotypes in psychopathy, and parental effects associated with psychopathy. This part contains the discussion of the study¿s findings which is based on several theoretical concepts described in part one. This volume is ideal for psychopathy researchers hoping to bridge the natural and social sciences in a new and innovative way.

Danger in Police Culture: Perspectives from South Africa offers a fresh perspective on how officers understand, interpret and construct danger. With unique insight from working with uniformed and detective police, the author breaks new ground as the first researcher to work alongside a Tactical Response Team in South Africa.Through ethnographic research in South Africa, Perkins explores the lived experiences of police navigating danger and death. Reframing the question of what makes policing dangerous, the author employs a theoretical framework as a prism, illuminating ambiguous ideas shaping perceptions of danger in police culture. A vivid portrayal of how danger is materialized through risk reduction strategies and artefacts, dramatized through memorialization and normalized in daily police practices, Perkins concludes by reflecting on policy developments aimed at addressing the understanding and influence of danger in contemporary policing.Underscoring the need to reconsider the concept of danger in policing, this is a much-needed assessment of its understanding and impact on contemporary police work.In support of the Perkins Síochána Scholarship, the author's proceeds from the sale of this book will be used to fund the continuing development of South African graduate students in Criminal Justice and Criminology studies in the Global South.

Someone has served up a show-stopping murder...In Kilbane, conflicting opinions are plentiful. There's one thing everyone agrees on though - the nearby bakery is the best in County Cork. It's no wonder they're about to be featured on a reality baking show. But the competitors aren't all are as sweet as their confections.

This textbook for graduate students presents fundamental and essential principles of forensic biology. It covers the theory, principles, and applications of forensic biology, focusing on the easier understanding of the applicability of the topics. It discusses the subject with an aim to enhance the theoretical and practical knowledge of the subject and explore the potentials of the fields in modern-day crime scene investigation for researchers and practitioners of the field. The book is supplemented with real-life case studies from national and international cases, significant to the discipline or unique approach to evidence analysis. Notably, the textbook discusses forensic sample analysis, emerging trends and new technologies, and legal and ethical concepts about forensic investigations. It further presents the history and development of forensic DNA profiling and the role of DNA databases in forensic investigations. It elucidates the applications of nanotechnology in forensics and examines the role of forensics in attributing acts of bioterrorism or bioproliferation.

Dive into the fascinating and terrifying world of evasive malware - malicious software designed to avoid detection. The first of its kind, this thorough introduction is full of practical information, real-world examples, and cutting-edge techniques for discovering, reverse-engineering, and analysing state-of-the-art malware. Beginning with foundational knowledge about malware analysis in the context of the Windows OS, you'll learn about the evasive manoeuvres that malware programs use to determine whether they're being analysed and the tricks they employ to avoid detection. You'll explore the ways malware circumvents security controls, such as network or endpoint defence bypasses, anti-forensics techniques, and malware that deploys data and code obfuscation. At the end of the book, you'll build your very own anti-evasion analysis lab. You'll learn: Modern evasive malware threats, anti-analysis techniques used in malware, how malware bypasses and circumvents security controls, how malware uses victim targeting and profiling techniques, how malware uses anti-forensics and file-less techniques, how to perform malware analysis and reverse engineering on evasive programs.

This book, the second volume of Crime Scene Management in Forensic Sciences, reviews the role and impact of forensic evidence in criminal investigations. It also addresses the importance of post mortem examination in criminal cases.The book investigates the use of insects and arthropods to estimate post mortem intervals during forensic investigations. Further, it discusses the physiological effects of xenobiotics at the time of death, based on their concentration and distribution in the body at autopsy. Importantly, it also discusses digital forensic investigation, which can be used for the analysis of digital evidence produced at a court of law. Lastly, it defines the structure and legal framework of these forensic evidences for the effective administration of the criminal justice system. It is an excellent source of information for forensics scientists and legal professionals.
