The other side of the paper as the evidence: impacts of fingermark development reagents on fingermark development and cocaine amount in cocaine-impregnated paper.

Despite various preventative measures, cocaine smuggling is still a major problem worldwide. A recent method of smuggling is the transportation of cocaine with various chemicals or with impregnated materials such as cloth and paper. This study aims to examine the change in the amount of cocaine on the paper surface and attempts to decide the best fingermark development method in the case of smuggling trafficking in the form of impregnated paper with the least effect on the cocaine concentration on the paper.

Optimization of crystal violet technique for enhanced fingerprint detection on various surfaces.

The crystal violet (CV) staining technique represents a prevalent approach for the development of latent fingerprints, especially on adhesive tape surfaces. Nevertheless, the technique necessitates intricate formulations to augment its performance. In this investigation, an optimized CV staining protocol was developed, characterized by the absence of residual dye on the target substrates and the capability of facilitating fingerprint visualization under ambient light conditions.

Comparison of methods to develop fingerprints on papers impregnated with AB-PINACA and AB-FUBINACA.

Although there have been significant advances in fingerprinting techniques, studies on how these techniques affect other criminal evidence are limited. Synthetic cannabinoids (SC), which are illegal substances frequently encountered in crime scenes and are widely used worldwide, are available in various forms in the market (pill, powder, liquid, and herbal product). These synthetic cannabinoid substances have recently been introduced to places such as prisons and rehabilitation centers, primarily via an infused piece of paper.

Detecting the Relationship between the Stress Levels and Perceived Burnout in Law-enforcement Officers during the COVID-19 Outbreak: A Cross-sectional Study.

The present study aimed to determine the effect of burnout and stress levels on law enforcement officers' perceptions and behaviors to emphasize the need for adequate attention and care in these individuals during the COVID-19 outbreak. The research group of this cross-sectional study conducted in July-August 2020 was formed by the law enforcement officers. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Burnout Measure-Short Version (BM-SV) and a personal data form prepared by the researchers were used in the study.
