“…The pragmatic approach of looking for relationships between single crime scene variables and offender characteristics corresponds with the study of Aitken to prioritise suspects of sexually motivated child murders (Aitken, Connolly, Gammerman, Zhang, Bailey, Gordon, & Oldfi eld, 1996). However, Aitken has taken this type of research one step further with the development of statistical models using a multivariate approach for the prediction of offender characteristics in sexually motivated child homicides.…”

“…'Intelligence led policing' is a much-used contemporary term relating to law enforcement strategy. In practical terms there are recent examples of the utilisation of scientific or forensic data to provide intelligence which directs policing at both the management [I61 and operational levels, such as the use of GIs [17], crime analysis [I81 and offender profiling [19]. A fundamental objective of this project was to further illustrate the potential of forensic science data, in particular data from DNA based cases, to have a positive influence on aspects of law enforcement strategy.…”

The collation of forensic DNA case data into a multi-dimensional intelligence database

et al. 2002

The primary aim of any DNA Database is to link individuals to unsolved offences and unsolved offences to each other via DNA profiling. This aim has been successfully realised during the operation of the New Zealand (NZ) DNA Databank over the past five years. The DNA Intelligence Project (DIP), a collaborative project involving NZ forensic and law enforcement agencies, interrogated the forensic case data held on the NZ DNA Databank and collated it into a functional intelligence database. This database has been used to identify significant trends which direct Police and forensic personnel towards the most appropriate use of DNA technology. Intelligence is being provided in areas such as the level of usage of DNA techniques in criminal investigations, the relative success of crime scene samples and the geographical distribution of crimes. The DIP has broadened the dimensions of the information offered through the NZ DNA Databank and has furthered the understanding and investigative capability of both Police and forensic scientists. The outcomes of this research fit soundly with the current policies of 'intelligence led policing', which are being adopted by Police iurisdictions locally and overseas. relacionar individuos con delitos no resueltos y delitos no resueltos entre si a travts de 10s perfiles de ADN. Esta finalidad ha sido ampliamente realizada con txito por el banco de datos de ADN de Nueva Zelanda (NZ) durante su trabajo de 10s pasados 5 afios. El proyecto de Inteligencia del ADN (DIP), un proyecto en colaboraci6n con las agencias forense y de policia de NZ, tomaba 10s datos de casos forenses guardados en la base de datos de NZ y 10s relacionaba con las bases de datos funcionales de la policia. Esta base de datos se ha usado para identificar tendencias significativas que dirijan a la policia y personal forense hacia un uso m8s apropiado de la tecnologia del ADN. La informacidn se proporciona en Areas tales como el nivel de uso de las tCcnicas de ADN en investigaciones criminales, el e'xito relativo de las muestras del escenario del crimen y la distribucidn geogrAfica de 10s crimenes. El DIP ha ensanchado las dimensiones de la informacidn ofrecida a travts del banco de datos de ADN de NZ y ha mejorado el entendimiento y capacidad investigadora de la policia y de 10s cientificos forenses. Los resultados de esta investigaci6n encajan perfectamente con las politicas actuales de "politicas de inteligencia guiada" que estAn siendo adoptadas por las jurisdicciones de policia tanto locales como internacionales.

“…Our results suggest that overnight changes in corneal thickness are not truly representative of actual diurnal variation. While we can compare our overnight changes in corneal thickness with other studies, it is difficult to compare diurnal studies as most authors do not report the full 24 hour cycle. "8…”

“…The ultrasonic pachymeter calculates readings based on an ultrasonic velocity of 1640 m/s for normal human corneal thickness at 34.5°C, which is the temperature at the corneal surface in vivo. The percentage maximum diurnal thickness change occurring during any 24 hour period was calculated using the difference between the maximum and minimum corneal thickness readings measured on each day (for the purpose of this study 'a day' is defined as the period between presleep reading and the penultimate reading on the following day). …”
