Teaching Learning

Conventional methods employed to teach chemistry imply a lot of memorization and very little contextualization, i.e., they fail to connect chemistry concepts to students’ everyday lives, which causes them to lose motivation and interest in learning the subject. In order to change this scenario, new methods have been proposed for the teaching of chemistry, such as playful experimentation, to foster contextualization of content and integration with content from other subjects. This study has aimed to evaluate student learning of chemistry concepts by means of experimentation associated to forensic science. To this end, first, students’ previous knowledge of the content was assessed by means of a questionnaire prior to the intervention. Then, they were given a problem-situation, a fictitious crime, which they had to solve. The results indicate that the teaching method under investigation is an effective teaching-learning strategy capable of contextualizing and adapting chemistry concepts to students’ cultural background, since TV crime series have become hugely popular among teenagers.

Jack The Ripper

This study will examine the links between the historical case of Jack the Ripper, the history of forensic science, and the advancement of policing for the Metropolitan Police and forensic in Victorian Britain. Ripper’s crimes were committed in a ‘pre-forensic science’ period, when there were no fingerprints, DNA, or crime scene investigation units to help Detectives capture sophisticated criminals, but through this case forensic science and the Metropolitan Police Force would develop into a more modern form of policing. Jack the Ripper can be considered the prototype of the definition of a serial killer, and his crimes were of a nature that police had little experience with, which meant the police force would have to develop new techniques in criminal investigation. This study will examine the early history of the Metropolitan Police, how the young police force—less than sixty years old by the first murder of Jack the Ripper—was organized, the tools available for investigating murders, how the case of Jack the Ripper led to advancements in criminal investigation and how these new techniques were used to solve other crimes. The Metropolitan Police and British pathologists—such as Dr. Bernard Spilsbury— developed new ways of catching criminals because of the Jack the Ripper case, such as crime scene preservation, profiling and the use of photography to capture crime scenes that would be used to solve the case of Dr. Crippen in 1910 and the Bathtub Murders in 1915.

Forensic science has a great contribution in crime prevention and criminal justice by fair investigation. Its applications in crime prevention and investigation is essential to know the best possible and nearest justice to put those criminals behind the bars whose tendency is to destroy all proofs and evidences. DNA Profiling/Typing is one of the techniques of forensic technology which is used to investigate and find justice in most of the trials. The present communication deals with the contribution of DNA-Profiling in criminal investigation in Indian criminal justice, its evidentiary value and also the features of DNA Bill 2017. Material (evidences) collected to process, identify and compare to know evidentiary value of evidences. Under forensic science inter se the linkage between occurrence of crime, the criminals, the victims, the weapons, place and time are established whether it may be absence or presence by forensic science. We can say that there is an urgent and silent need for the application of the forensic science in present indian justice system. Forensic science perform many functions like establishing corpus delicti (Body of crime), determines the modus oprandi of the crime (Method of doing something) identifies the criminal and also identify the victims. DNA is a hereditary material of each living organism’s passes from parents to their offspring through inheritance. In most of the criminal and civil investigations the fair identification of criminals/heirs, parentage and other identification of individuals has been one of the biggest problem. This paper is established on secondary data collected through different online/offline sources and their analysis, which include research papers by different researchers, articles, journals, conference proceedings, periodicals, text books and available digital data analyzed for relevant application of forensic science in law.

Modern Technologies

“Cold case” is an unsolved major crime (mainly homicide or abduction), which, after long time, can be re-examined by using modern technologies for their investigation. Unsolved homicides are typical examples of “cold case”. Many crime news’ cases (either recent or past) have undergone new examinations, with the support of forensic science. In some cases, these new activities have led to crimes’ solution. To face this new need, both “Carabinieri” and “Polizia di Stato” have established recently specific units as part of their own Criminal Investigation Department. ---------- Per “cold case”, si intendono i c.d. “casi freddi” o “piste fredde”, con riferimento ai delitti più gravi, irrisolti, che anche a distanza di numerosi anni possono essere oggetto di nuove indagini eseguite in particolare attraverso l’utilizzo delle moderne tecniche investigative. Tra questi rientrano per eccellenza gli omicidi rimasti senza colpevole. Numerosi sono i casi di cronaca più o meno recenti che, specie con il supporto delle scienze forensi, sono stati oggetto di nuove indagini, talvolta risolutive. Per far fronte a tale esigenza sia l’Arma dei Carabinieri che la Polizia di Stato hanno creato di recente specifici Reparti di investigazione, all’interno delle proprie strutture centrali di Polizia Giudiziaria. ---------- Para “casos fríos”, nos referimos a c.d. “Casos fríos” o “pendientes frías”, con referencia a los crímenes más graves, no resueltos, que incluso después de varios años pueden ser objeto de nuevas investigaciones llevadas a cabo, en particular, mediante el uso de técnicas modernas de investigación. Estos incluyen la excelencia para los homicidios que quedan impunes. Existen numerosos casos recientes o recientes que, especialmente con el apoyo de la ciencia forense, han estado sujetos a nuevas investigaciones, a veces resolutivas. Para satisfacer esta necesidad, tanto las Armas de Carabinieri como la Policía del Estado han creado recientemente Departamentos de Investigación específicos dentro de sus propias estructuras de Policía Judicial Central.

The Law

‘What is forensic science?’ describes forensic science as the investigation, explanation, and evaluation of events of legal relevance including the identity, origin, and life history, and interaction of humans, materials, substances, and artefacts. A variety of techniques and methodologies, some of which are scientific, are used to describe, infer, and reconstruct events based on the analysis and evaluation of fragmentary physical evidence and other relevant information. From these facts, established to some pre-determined legal standard, the law infers behaviour, motivation, and criminal intent. In short, forensic science answers the central questions in a criminal investigation: who, what, where, when, why, and how?
