Abstract
This will be a presentation of real crime scenes and the management of efforts bringing together the forensic experts and the investigative personal to solve real cases. Having lead the Homicide Department department unlike CSI and other programs, police fail to collect and properly analysis a crime scene which I will demonstrate. We need to interpret crime scenes. Sloppy police investigations, lazy forensic personnel team up to reduce the ability to solve cases with solid evidence.
The research profession needs to catch up with policing, corrections and juvenile justice, and define a role for itself in the problem solving process. The research community needs to find ways to bring its analytical skills, its objectivity, its rigor, its independence, its ability to link theory and practice, into the messy arena of contemporary practice. Although we have made progress, the need is tremendous.

Abstract
Research on adverse childhood events (ACES) indicates a correlation with increased risk of offending in adulthood. Physical and sexual abuse, physical neglect, and household drug and alcohol abuse have been found to be correlated with adult criminal activity, according to the United National Human Development Index (HDI). Kessler et al (2010) found in research of 51,945 adults in 21 countries that 39% experienced at least one ACE before age 18 with the most common ACE being parental death (13%), followed by physical abuse (8%), divorce (6.6%) then family violence (7%). Self-reports of sexual abuse were startling at 13%, compared to .3% from official records and 36.3% for emotional abuse, compared to .4% from official records. Brain scans of homicide offenders show reduced gray matter in areas of emotional processing, behavioral control, and social cognition. Decades of research show that childhood events change brain architecture and formation. These changes often don’t “show up” until adulthood and through adult behavior. A new study involving MRI scans of hundreds of brains of convicted prisoners suggest significant differences in a homicidal offenders compared to violent, nonhomicidal offenders. The purpose of this presentation is to explore and discuss the relationship between adverse childhood events, resulting changed in the bran, and adult homicidal offending.

Abstract
Police in North America must learn new forensic techniques to deal with the Fentanyl drug crisis.
It is crucial for public safety policy advocates and decision-makers to recognize the opportunities presented by data generated by the forensic community. Forensic units specializing in seized drugs and toxicology are uniquely positioned to provide near real-time prevalence data on drug use, misuse, overdoses, and fatalities. Data collected from drug seizures combined with robust and timely testing procedures provide valuable insights into drug supply, regional usage patterns, potential combinations of substances, and risks to public health and safety. Collaborations between public safety and public health entities can facilitate the immediate sharing of this prevalence information.
Other drugs are arising on the scene: xylazine and nitazines. And the number one criminal organization in the world, the Government of China is causing this to happen.

Abstract
Being a victim of online romance fraud comes with a lot of complexity. How a victim is perceived as a victim, has a psychological impact and an effect on mental health and how they recover from the actions done to them, that made them victims. Victims of romance fraud may experience victim blaming that removes them from having genuine victim status which may refrain them from seeking help. The most common reaction is feeling shame and guilt and these and other emotions tend to silence the victims. Shame needs secrecy, silence, and judgment to exist and it creates the psychological distance by-standers need to point blame at the victims and create a false belief that this will not happen to themselves thereby creating a space where the victims will refrain from speaking up, reporting the crime to law enforcement and worse continue being a victim of either their first online romance perpetrator or continue down a path of being a recurring victim of several perpetrators. This mechanism also affects how easy it is for a victim to process the reconciliation from the false reality, expertly created by the perpetrators with the purpose of grooming, psychologically manipulating, controlling, and emotionally hijacking a victim, with the true reality of it all being a falsehood. Denial is there to protect the victim from facing the reality of the trauma inflicted on them. If a victim stays in denial too long the damage to their lives can be detrimental. Forcing the truth upon the victim with ample evidence can make some victims cling harder to the false reality. The way this traumatic bond between the victim and the criminal is broken is with compassion and empathy creating a psychologically safe space where victims can recover with adequate help.

Abstract
Crime assessment is a method of criminal investigation that utilizes key structures within the criminological continuum to examine the presence and/or absence of evidence found at the crime scene. Predicated upon these primary factors and coupled with additional principles, understanding the crime scene and offender actions through the crime continuum provides a critical understanding for the motives, methods, and opportunities of the crime. Although crime assessment was originally created to identify offenders in sexual assault cases, and further developed to identify offenders in sexual and nonsexual homicides, we have found that crime assessment applies to all criminal activity. Crime assessment measures the crime by known crime paterns. These paterns provide a structural foundation from which to analyze crimes, in effect becoming the DNA of crime. That is, criminal research has identified key elements of the crime which can shape the investigation and provide critical knowledge regarding the various elements of the crime, including, but certainly not limited to, providing recommended methods of apprehension, interviewing strategies and prosecutorial considerations. We understand that, although human experience is variable, crime paterns can be coded to reveal interlocking and separate vectors. By doing so, recurrent elements and themes are developed to group common factors for various desires, intentions, and plans. Therefore, dependent upon the intended outcome, the crimes can reveal differentiated power and anger issues, levels of intimacy and necessary idiosyncrasies. Accordingly, while acting out the crime, the criminal many times inadvertently leaves these crime and post-crime clues available for investigation.

Abstract
The link between animal abuse and violence against humans has echoed in the USA for decades. International research and policy efforts, however, have been less definitive in acknowledging the link between animal cruelty and human violence, especially endemic and institutionalized forms of violence against animals that are witnessed by children. Select recent research has highlighted the harms of childhood exposure to violence against animals. In response to the ongoing research and advocacy conducted by volunteer-based international organization The European Link Coalition, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child (UN CRC) acknowledged the bond between children and animals and the trauma that results in many different cultures when children are exposed to animal cruelty. Therefore, UN CRC recently provided authoritative clarity via General Comment 26 (GC 26) regarding nations‟ “strict obligation” to change policies, practices and laws to maintain compliance with the „legally binding‟ UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. GC 26 includes the words “Children must be protected from all forms of physical and psychological violence and from exposure to violence, such as domestic violence or violence inflicted on animals”. (UNCRC GC 26, 2023). These efforts also contributed to country-specific UN CRC Concluding Observations regarding the need for strong measures to protect children from animal cruelty including trophy hunting and violent culling of homeless animals. Effectively, General Comment 26 elevates Animal Rights into the Human Rights domain for the first time in history. Across the world, there are political, cultural, and social challenges to implementing concrete change to protect both children and animals. The research and future protocols for this “barrier breaking” beginning of a paradigm shift are discussed.

Abstract
Graphology is the study of the analysis of writing through its strokes, measurements, shapes, direction, and speed, among many other details. It is a meticulous study that allows us to see and know the writer beyond what we can see, their current mood. We can also observe who wrote the letter, his personality, character, essence, and possible mental and physical illnesses. It is estimated that the first text or study on graphology dates back to the year 1622, and its author was Camilo Baldo, professor of philosophy at the University of Bologna. His work, "Treatise on how, from a letter, the nature and quality of the writer are known," is considered the first mention of graphology and how handwriting analysis can reveal the writer's personality. Graphology is an essential tool in which we can know the writer deeply and intimately since writing is made with the subconscious and will appear at some point, thus leaving our most hidden and deep feelings to be discovered. In the case of serial killers, I will expose the similarities and differences between their writings to show the traits of each one and make comparisons as well as outline details of them. It would be an excellent help for criminologists against graphology as a support to see beyond many essential details of the criminal or the victims and thus get closer to the truth faster and more effectively.

Abstract
The pervasive weaponization of the Internet has propelled cybersecurity into a critical realm that demands unwavering attention. Today I want to focus upon the often overlooked and disregarded Internet Assets, ranging from seemingly simple issues like Not Secure Domains/Subdomains to more complex concerns such as misconfigured DNS records and servers. The failure to address these vulnerabilities, including the absence of HTTP to HTTPS redirection and the prevalence of bogus HTTP structures, poses significant risks in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
In response to the escalating threat landscape, Proactive Threat Intelligence emerges as the ONLY Vanguard armed with vigilant detection mechanisms and remediation strategies. This proactive approach is crucial for halting and reducing cybercrime, which has surged threefold in the past three years, reaching an alarming $10 trillion annually—making it equivalent to the world's third largest GDP of any country behind the U.S. and China. If left unchecked, cybercrime is poised to surpass even the largest GDP, underscoring the urgency of effective cybersecurity measures.
Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) technology plays a pivotal role in identifying and addressing security gaps across the digital environment. However, the motivation to exploit these gaps often outpaces efforts to prevent them. As cyber threats continue to evolve, it is imperative to recognize the paramount importance of Internet Assets, including Domains, Subdomains, Servers, and DNS, as each entity plays a pivotal role and Access Points in the interconnected fabric of the digital ecosystem. Without Access, no crime can take place.

Abstract
Audio and video forensics have been used in hundreds to thousands of cases each year within the courts. A new futuristic technology called subliminal Acoustic Fingerprinting (SAF) is a new method used for investigations globally to gather information on stalkers, sex trafficking operations/organizations, harassment, hackers, and cyber-crime activities. Using the SAF method, one can hear radio communications of the criminal network, gather intel from locations, names, equipment, servers, networks, software, drugs, weapons, murderers, terrorists plans and more. The frequencies that are identified match the QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), vector fields, that the criminals are using with the use of their electronic devices. The frequencies identified also connect to the radio transmissions that the criminal group is using to transmit and connect to the hosting site for the sex trafficking operations.

Abstract
During the retrospective study period from January 2018 to December 2020 then prospective from January 2021 to March 2022 of the medico-legal aspects of the care of victims of voluntary violence at the Hangadoumbo Moulaye Touré hospital in Gao, we collected 3090 patients in consultation for various reasons including 1088 cases of voluntary violence, 1662 cases of road accidents , 260 cases of work accidents and 80 cases of domestic accidents. Voluntary violence constituted 35.21% of our activity. The 21-26 age group accounted for 24.9% of cases. The average age of voluntary violence was 26.83 years with extremes of 8 to 80 years. The male sex represented (85%) of the 928 cases, followed by the female sex 15% of the cases (160). That is a sex ratio of 5.7. Violence was physical in most of the 700 patients, or (64.4%) cases followed by verbal violence in (28.5%) of the 310 cases. Victims of armed conflict accounted for the majority of the 633 cases, or ( 58.2%) followed by victims of robbery in 229 cases (21%). The most represented reason for admission was physical trauma with (89.9%) of cases. 978. Lesions were serious in 698 patients, or 64.2% of cases. The lower limb was the most affected with (43.2%) cases. 470. Trimming was the most represented with 32.5% of cases followed by delayed primary closure in (27.3%) of cases 218. Lower limb interventions were the most represented with (49.3%) of cases 395 followed by those of the upper limb. Wounds were the most common lesions in 601 victims (55.2%) followed by fractures in 311 victims (28.6%). Lesions by firearms 666 were the most frequent (61.2%) of the cases followed by explosive devices in 197 of the cases (18.1%). Post-operative follow-up > 3 months was favorable in 645 patients (80.6%) of cases. We deplore 83 deaths (10.4%) and 64 cases lost sight of (8%) cases. The most represented type of immediate complication was fractures, i.e. 55.7% of cases, followed by sudden death in 95 cases, i.e. (17%). Young subjects were the most affected with 1023 victims in (94%) cases. The temporary functional work deficit after violence was present in 1027 victims or 91.5% of cases. The duration of the most represented total temporary incapacity for work was 4 weeks and more, i.e. 59.2% of cases. Permanent partial incapacity was assessed in 853 victims in (78.4%). Six hundred and seventyfive (675) patients had a I.P.P rate between 0% and 10%, i.e. 62%.

Abstract
Forensic evidence collected by healthcare providers can be utilized during criminal investigations and court proceedings if collected in a timely and proper manner. Unfortunately, evidence collection is not a standard element in medical or nursing school curricula and there is a lack of on-the-job training as well. Such knowledge and practical gaps lead to vital evidence unknowingly being lost or destroyed during the course of medical care and treatment. This presentation will provide examples of potential evidence that may be present on suspects and victims of crime when they encounter healthcare facilities and methods for proper identification and collection in healthcare facilities. It will also emphasize the need for increased communication and collaboration between healthcare and forensic professionals to decrease the incidents of lost and destroyed evidence.
