Episodes

Forensic Statistic.E6-BN application of fire investigation 02.10.2025

This paper discusses the application of Bayesian networks for evaluating evidence in forensic fire investigations, building upon a previous article in the series. It presents two casework examples to demonstrate the practical use of these networks. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Crime Scene Investigation.E3-BPA 29.09.2025

These sources mainly outline the scientific principles and experimental methods of bloodstain pattern analysis, a forensic discipline used to reconstruct events at a crime scene. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Forensic Instrumental Analysis.E8-Raman Spectroscopy 26.09.2025

Raman spectroscopy is a versatile, non-destructive molecular analysis technique that uses laser-based inelastic light scattering to identify organic and inorganic compounds, though its weak signal can be hampered by fluorescence interference. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
