Forensic intelligence framework--Part I: Induction of a transversal model by comparing illicit drugs and false identity documents monitoring.
Marie Morelato,Simon Baechler,Olivier Ribaux,Alison Beavis,Mark Tahtouh,Paul Kirkbride,Claude Roux,Pierre Margot +7 more
TL;DR: This paper demonstrates that the description of forensic intelligence processes, their architectures, and the methods for building them can be abstracted from the type of traces considered, and will facilitate the paradigm shift from the current case-by-case reactive attitude towards a proactive approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Touch DNA collection - Performance of four different swabs.
Jennifer Comte,Simon Baechler,Joelle Gervaix,Eric Lock,Marie-Pierre Milon,Olivier Delémont,Vincent Castella +6 more
TL;DR: A collaborative study conducted by three police forensic units, a DNA laboratory, and a forensic academic institute was undertaken in order to compare the performance of four different swabs in controlled and quasi-operational conditions, finding the COPAN 4N6FLOQSwabs™ (Genetics variety) was judged the most convenient to use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forensic intelligence framework. Part II: Study of the main generic building blocks and challenges through the examples of illicit drugs and false identity documents monitoring
Simon Baechler,Marie Morelato,Olivier Ribaux,Alison Beavis,Mark Tahtouh,K. Paul Kirkbride,K. Paul Kirkbride,Pierre Esseiva,Pierre Margot,Claude Roux +9 more

Journal ArticleDOI
2012 Student Paper: Toward a Novel Forensic Intelligence Model: Systematic Profiling of False Identity Documents
TL;DR: This article proposes an original model in which false identity documents are used to inform a systematic forensic intelligence process, aimed at sustaining a proactive intelligence-led approach to fighting identity document fraud and the associated organized criminality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical profiling: A tool to decipher the structure and organisation of illicit drug markets: An 8-year study in Western Switzerland.
TL;DR: This research work illustrates how the systematic analysis of forensic data may elicit knowledge on criminal activities at a strategic level to devise intelligence-based preventive and repressive measures and to discuss the impact of countermeasures.
