Software used to identify Malaysian Air Victims showcases in new magazine The Forensic Investigator

AYLESBURY, U.K. - Nov. 19, 2014 - PRLog -- The Forensic Investigator features the ground-breaking working conducted by the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI)  to use the software to conduct familial searching of victims – that not only speeds up the process but increases accuracy.

In the magazine, editor Carol Jenkins reports lives from The Hague and talks to DNA expert Alexander Meulenbroek about the project.

The first issue out today also features NFI projects on blood ageing and the chemical profiling of explosives.

It also looks at how the Natural History Museum is leading the way in forensic entomology – which uses insects to age bodies at a crime scene. We also feature new research that is assessing the accuracy of police cadaver dogs.

We report from the UK Houses of Parliament where we interviewed Andrew Miller the chair of the Science and Technology Committee about his views on the changing forensic landscape.

There are also features on a cold case review, using pollen evidence in rape investigations and best practice advice around CCTV, mobile phones and digital forensics.

“The aim of our new title is to bridge the gap between research and practice and bring our readers the latest projects that are making a real difference to the frontline and to the outcome of criminal investigations,” said Carol Jenkins, editor The Forensic Investigator.

“Forensic science plays such a major role in today’s criminal investigations and we hope we can contribute in some way to highlighting all the good work that is happening in this area across the world.”
