The recovery of finger marks from soot-covered glass fire debris.

This study aimed to expand the scope of previous research by assessing the effectiveness of soot-removal techniques on glass from petrol-bomb debris using methods of 1% and 2% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solutions, ultrasonic bath and vacuum suction. Of particular interest were the 1% and 2% NaOH solutions applied to the soot-covered surfaces. Petrol bombs containing petrol or a 50:50 mix of petrol and motor oil were exploded and the debris was collected for analysis. Favourable results were found to varying degrees using each of the soot-removal methods with the 1% and 2% NaOH wash solutions, being the most useful. The 2% NaOH solution also proved successful as a soak to loosen and remove heavy contamination of soot and accelerants without damaging the finger mark beneath. This study also found that recovery of finger marks in blood from beneath soot using the 2% NaOH solution was possible. Finger marks were also applied to glass bottles with plastic adhesive labels, and providing the fire damage is not too great marks were also retrievable. Results from this study lead to the conclusion that the NaOH wash solution is ideally suited for soot removal to reveal latent and blood-contaminated marks both within the laboratory and at crime scenes.

Acute myoglobinuria as a fatal complication of heroin addiction

A fatal case of myoglobinuria complicating heroin addiction is described. Clinically the patient had no overt symptoms of rhabdomyolysis. Pathologists should be alerted to this rare complication in heroin addicts who die of no apparent cause. The antimyoglobin immunoperoxidase technique is useful in confirming the diagnosis.     

犯罪存在的个体解释

<正> 犯罪不仅是一种社会存在,而且是一种个体存在。当然,这里的个体是作为社会成员存在的,离不开社会这个生态环境。但对犯罪的社会解释决不能代替个体解释。本文拟对犯罪存在进行个体解释,以期推进犯罪学的理论研究。 犯罪存在的个体解释的出发点是个体,这里的个体是社会关系的一定主体,因而只有在社会解释的总体框架下才能对犯罪存在作出科学的个体解释。在犯罪学中,犯罪存在的个体解释基本上有三种倾向:1.人类学解释,又称为生物学解释。德国犯罪学家施奈德指出:现代犯罪生物学理论与实证主义及其先驱者相衔接。这些理论不再断言犯罪仅仅是或主要是由遗传引起
