Comparative study of electrochromic enhancement of latent fingerprints with existing development techniques

To address the challenge of capturing latent fingerprint evidence from metal surfaces, a new method of latent fingerprint enhancement based on electrochromic polymer films has recently been developed. Here, we present a study comparing the development and visualization of nonvisible fingerprints on stainless steel substrates using this electrochromic enhancement approach with three classical methods (dusting, wet powder, and cyanoacrylate fuming). Two variants of the electrochromic enhancement method were utilized with polyaniline and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) as the electrochromic materials. Fingerprint samples were taken from different donors (varying in age and gender) and were exposed to different environments for systematically varied periods of time (up to 28 days). The environments represent plausible evidential scenarios: left under ambient conditions, washed with aqueous soap solution, washed with acetone, submerged in water, and maintained at elevated temperature. The electrochromic enhancement procedure frequently outperformed the traditional methods, particularly for samples exposed to more challenging histories.

A Latent Variable Analysis of General Strain Theory

Strain theory has returned to the forefront of criminological theory and research, due primarily to the general strain model developed by Robert Agnew. Agnew posits that a broad range of negative social relations comprises strain and that these straining mechanisms lead to delinquent behavior and other maladaptive functioning. Moreover, strain has its strongest effect on delinquency when certain coping strategies are attenuated or when delinquent peers reinforce perceptions of strain. Although several studies have now shown the utility of general strain theory as an explanation of delinquency, they have relied mainly on cross-sectional effects or two-wave panel designs using methods that fail to consider measurement error or autocorrelated errors. In this study we extend these analyses by estimating a latent variable structural equation model that examines the effects of strain—operationalized as negative life events—on conventional attachment and delinquency over a 3-year period. Furthermore, we directly assess Agnew's coping strategies hypotheses by stratifying the models by self-efficacy, self-esteem, and peer delinquency. The results indicate that significant longitudinal effects of strain on delinquency emerge during year 3 but that these effects are not conditioned by self-efficacy or self-esteem. Changes in strain also affect changes in delinquency, but only among those who report no delinquent peers. We do find, however, that over the initial 2 years strain has a negative effect on delinquency among those high in self-efficacy, self-esteem, or delinquent peers. The findings are discussed in terms of Agnew's theory.     

政府执行力与行政文化的隐性链接

“执行力”是衡量一个政府管理能力的重要指标。执行力的强弱关系到一个政府管理效率的强弱。如果缺乏强有力的执行效力,政府的公共政策和战略决策只能是无本之木、无源之水。加强政府执行力可以从多重角度考虑,尤其要注意到行政文化对政府执行力的潜在影响。从行政文化的角度出发,创建“执行力文化”,是提高政府执行效力的良好途径。     

京尼平序列显现手印方法研究

目的考察京尼平溶液显现手印的灵敏度,并探索DFO→京尼平→茚三酮方法联用显现纸张上潜在手印的效果。方法通过使用京尼平溶液对同一手印样本进行一次、两次和三次浸泡处理,考察浸泡次数是否会影响显现效果;通过对京尼平→茚三酮、茚三酮→京尼平,京尼平→DFO和DFO→京尼平方法的组合设计方案与每种方法的单独使用进行比较研究,考察序列显现方法对显出手印的影响。结果单用京尼平溶液对同一样本进行多次浸泡在自然光和荧光模式下都不会明显增强手印的显现效果,DFO方法先于京尼平、京尼平先于茚三酮使用都能起到增强手印纹线的效果。结论京尼平方法显现手印灵敏度较高,DFO→京尼平→茚三酮方法联用可以进一步提高手印的显出率。     

潜在手印残留物中的油脂成分研究

潜在手印在现场上出现的频率较高,科学、合理地显现和提取现场手印对于认定犯罪具有重要意义。为了提高现场手印的提取率和利用率,有必要分析潜在手印残留物中油脂成分的变化(如鲨烯、十四酸、棕榈酸、十八酸、棕榈油酸、油酸成分的出现率及其含量随时间的变化等),为研究针对潜在手印油脂成分的专一性显现方法及分析潜在手印的物质成分、新旧程度等提供理论支持,进而提高现场潜在手印的提取率和显现率。

Role of Nanomaterials for Forensic Investigation and Latent Fingerprinting—A Review

The imminent nanotechnology and progressive instrumentations together have vast applications in the field of forensic science. Few prominent examples are gold nanoparticles for improvising the efficiency of polymerase chain reaction and atomic force microscopy for examining ink and bloodstains. Characteristics like distinct ridge details of fingerprints could be obtained by applying different nanoparticles such as silver, zinc oxide, silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, gold (with silver physical developer), europium, fluorescent carbon, and amphiphilic silica on a range of object surfaces, and among all, gold is most commonly used. Fingerprint is considered noteworthy evidence in any crime scene, and nano-based techniques hold immense future potential in fingerprint investigations. Therefore, this paper focuses on the applications of nanoparticles in developing and detecting the latent fingerprints.
