Fingerprint is defined as the raised ridges, which form accidentally during the development of the foetus, that cover the whole of the inner surface of the hand and the underside of the soles of the feet. The images of the ridges form a fingerprint. Fingerprints are unique and are still considered to be the best form of personal identification for criminal investigation purposes. They help in proving the presence or absence of a person at a crime scene. Fingerprints found at crime scenes can be categorized by some examiners as patent, plastic or latent impressions. A latent finger mark is an invisible print which needs to be developed to make it visible and they are the most common form of fingerprint evidence. Latent fingerprints are a hidden record on materials formed by perspiration and oil from the internal finger the form of ridges and furrows during friction or contact. Three primary glands contribute to the production of sweat: The sudoriferous glands (eccrine and apocrine) and the sebaceous glands. Latent print can be found on different surfaces classified as porous, non-porous, semi-porous and textured surfaces.

The cheque is an alternative to cash and eminently used practice for the financial transaction by banks globally. Eventually being such an immensely used document, there are cases reported regarding crime, forgery, alterations, and disguise. The cheque is an authentic document embedded with security features under the direction of the authorities and guidelines of a particular country. Security features are the vital line of defines against the cheque frauds. There are several security features embedded in the cheque, few of them are watermarks, logo, Serial number, account number, bank name and these features can be visible under normal or different light sources and instruments. The present study of the security features focuses on the examination and comparison of modern Indian cheque (Punjab National Bank), Canadian cheque (Canada Trust) and Dubai cheque (Emirates NBD). Enduringly studying the security features of three different countries, it can be concluded that in Indian cheque ample numbers of security features are present, while Dubai cheque has acceptable and exclusive security features which are not found in other country cheques. Although in Canadian cheque security features are less when compared to Indian and Dubai cheque. With an escalation in technology, it is becoming relatively accessible for the culprit to conduct a crime using a cheque for financial benefits. Thus, it requires amendment of advance security feature which is discussed in the suggestions.

Among this triad, Algor mortis is the cooling of body after death. The body temperature at the time of death is generally 37°C which falls to the temperature of surrounding by 12 to 18 hours after death. The liver mortis or postmortem staining generally appears over dependent parts of the body within 1⁄2 1 hour of death and gets fixed within 6 to 8 hrs after death. Similarly, the rigor mortis, which is cadaveric rigidity, starts developing within 1 to 2 hours after death and takes around 12 hours after death for complete development and remains in the developed stage for further 12 hours and disappears in the next 12 hours generally. This can give the approximate time since death till 36 hours after death. Many other sophisticated techniques like biochemical studies of C.S.F., Vitreous Humor, Aqueous humor, etc. have been tried to reach the accuracy regarding time since death.

In this modern era, handwriting skills are being misused for fraudulent activities. On the same context, this study was conducted to determine whether there is variation in handwriting between natural pen hold and unaccustomed pen hold. The study assumes that, by determining the variation in handwriting between natural pen hold and unaccustomed pen hold, would narrow down the analysis and therefore subsides the fraudulent activities. Types of pen hold includes:

Rape is worldwide issue with no demographic constraint, and previous studies have explored how rape myths serve to justify sexual violence against women at the hands of men. However, this study aims to bridge the gap in the literature that fails to account for rape myths that do not follow the traditional script. 65 UK university students completed measures of rape myth acceptance and ambivalent sexism to investigate the factors associated with supporting rape myths. A multiple regression indicated that the acceptance of female rape myths predicted the acceptance of male rape myths. However, the factors involved in facilitating this acceptance differed between the genders. The findings are discussed in relation to the implications and conclude by offering directions for future research. Whilst the study is limited in some areas, such as the generalisation of findings, and the photonegative scales, it offers an interesting insight into understanding male rape myths and the factors that contribute to these attitudes within the UK.
