"CSI WORKSHOPS" : "FUN WITH FORENSICS"

How do you keep your children occupied during the school holidays/weekends?

How do you find something exciting to inspire  their imaginations?

How do you get  students engaged with science?






General information: Students will participate in hands-on workshops that invite them to discover the fun and exciting world of forensics and the effects of forensics in our world today.

Program: The “Fun with Forensics” Workshop by Ifo Forensic Standards and Research Pvt Ltd will provide students with the opportunity to interact in the basic elements of forensics. The crime scene investigations promote critical thinking skills that relate to the application of science to decide questions arising from crime.

The students will become first-rate sleuths using techniques detectives and forensic scientists use everyday to solve crimes. The art of fingerprinting,footwear impressions, blood splatter, entomology, odontology, and mock crime scene will be examined during this course and used to solve a mock crime. Students will learn to handle a crime scene, collect and process clues. Students will use their newly acquired skills  as they develop a crime scene and explain what happens and the techniques used to solve the mystery.

This 1-day event includes:

* Introduction
* Focused forensic investigation
* Mock Crime Scene
  * Presentation

Careers in Forensic Entomology

Forensic Entomologists are typically employed by academic institutions and not law enforcement agencies. They can provide valuable information to law enforcement, Medical Examiners, and Coroners in establishing a portion of the postmortem interval. Entomologists are experts at determining the age of insects on human remains. Such information can be extremely valuable when law enforcement investigators are attempting to establish a time frame to support or refute suspect and/or witness statements.


Forensic entomology is a young subfield, which is the application of this science to medicolegal death investigations. Forensic Entomologists estimate the post-mortem interval (PMI)—the amount of time that passes after the death of the victim. These scientists use insects to make such determinations, as well as to help reveal the probable cause, location, and time of death. Forensic Entomologists are also able to glean other valuable information by studying the insects that live on dead bodies. For example, insect evidence can be used to:



• deduce if a body was disturbed or moved after death

• identify a body by analyzing the DNA of flesh consumed by insects
• determine whether a dead individual used drugs by analyzing accumulated toxins in the insects that fed on the body
• establish whether a suspect was present at the scene of a crime
• ascertain the presence or position of wounds in badly decomposed bodies

Forensic Entomologists have expertise about the life cycle of insects that feed on decomposing flesh. They know that certain insects eat specific parts of bodies at particular intervals. Insects also develop through their life phases from egg to larvae to pupae to adults within a constant timeframe according to each insect species.

Mobile Forensics India


When cell phones or other cellular devices are involved in a crime or other incident, forensic examiners require tools that allow the proper retrieval and speedy examination of information present on the device. This report gives an overview of current forensic software, designed for acquisition, examination, and reporting of data discovered on cellular handheld devices, and an understanding of their capabilities and limitations.

Forensic Investigator must ensure the retrieval of data
without alteration!
– Imaging
• As most MS’s now have flash upgradeable Operating Systems, etc. this
is usually a straightforward process
• However, manufacturer’s are reluctant to provide access to the tools to
achieve this
• Independent tools known as Flashers are available for most
mainstream MS’s but have no recognised legal status in some parts of
the world.
– Data suites
• Provided by manufacturers
• Allow access to SMS/MMS, call registers, phonebooks, etc. as stored
on phone
• Cannot access memory directly

The Network Operators can provide detailed data on
calls made/received, message traffic, data transferred
and connection location/timing
• The HLR can provide;
– Customer name and address
– Billing name and address (if other than customer)
– User name and address (if other than customer)
– Billing account details
– Telephone Number (MSISDN)
– IMSI
– SIM serial number (as printed on the SIM-card)
– PIN/PUK for the SIM
– Subscriber Services allowed

Wildlife Forensic in India


Wildlife Institute of India has been receiving wildlife offence cases from various enforcement agencies since 1987. It was felt that enforcement of Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act (1972) is often hampered due to the lack of reference materials and methods necessary to identify the animal and plant species in various wildlife offence cases.

Therefore, a need was felt for strengthening the Wildlife Forensic capabilities so as to support the enforcement agencies in the proper implementation of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 in controlling the illegal wildlife trade.


Acollaborative project between US Fish and Wildlife Services and Wildlife institute of India was initiated in October 1995 to strengthen the Wildlife forensic capability at WII through Research and Development and then disseminating the knowledge to the various law enforcement agencies.

Wildlife Institute of India provided the logistic support as well as the work space for the forensic lab, while the infrastructure has been procured through Wildlife Forensic Project. The forensic laboratory became operational in January 1998.

Forensic database of hair 

 

A single hair found at a crime scene can now provide investigators with an instant lead thanks to a new database of human scalp hair characteristics developed by QUT PhD forensic science student Paul Barton.

Mr Barton, from QUT's Discipline of Chemistry, analysed donated scalp hair from 70 people of each gender and a variety of ages from African, Caucasian and Asian backgrounds using infra-red radiation instruments and interpreted the results with the aid of special mathematical methods.

DFS to test for chinks in armour

To shield its special force personnel with bulletproof jackets, the Gujarat government has decided to set up a ballistic firing range at the Gandhinagar Directorate of Forensic Science (DFS). Once it is set up, Gujarat will be the first state in the country to have its own centre to test bulletproof equipment including vests, helmets, glass and vehicles.



All state governments send bulletproof samples to Defence Research and Development Organisation’s  Terminal Ballistic Research Laboratory (TBRL) situated in Chandigarh for testing. Armours are purchased only after they are okayed by ballistic experts.
