▼ It is difficult to deny that human trafficking has received an increased international attention over the years, South African is no exception, the citizens of this country are daily affected and experiencing daily occurrences of human trafficking in their shores, however, this still remains an international phenomenon, affecting a greater portion of the world. It is no secret that various criminal activities occur around the globe, however, this dissertation focuses of response to human by the NPO as a transnational issue affecting different age and race groups. In response to this crime, the South African nation is collectively doing its best to eradicate the continuous prevalence of human trafficking for different reasons; the elite government is also working tirelessly to eliminate underreporting of this scourge. To this end, individuals nor victims of this crime are living in fear and currently looking at available relevant stakeholder, such as Non-Government Organisations / Non-Profit Organisations (NGOs/NPOs), Umngeni Community Empowerment Centre (UCEC) included. This study mainly focused on examining the responses of NPOs to human trafficking in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). This was achieved by acquiring valuable knowledge, perceptions and opinions, among others on this practice. Thus, this study adopted a qualitative research approach. the NPO, UCEC was chosen as the object of this study and this study was consisted of 12 elected participants, with simple random sampling adopted in the selection process and face-to-face semi-structured interviews were applied to solicit the responses of these participants human trafficking in Durban, KZN Province. This study found that not only trafficking exist in international countries, it also found it breath in South African soil, Durban as well. It was also revealed that this crime is not epidemic to specific areas of KZN Province, however, it colours are spreading across the entire province. The examined organisation for this study also confirms that they employing effective strategies to minimise further occurrence of trafficking in Durban policing area with limited resources on their disposal. In terms of responding to human trafficking cases they work with stakeholders whom assists them manage the influx number of cases to ensure justice and assistance is offered to those in need. For recommendations; this study provides that the to minimise the occurrences of human trafficking in Durban, KZN Province, more collaborative efforts needs to be put in place. More resources and improved technology are also required for related cases to be addressed and responded upon effectively by the responsible NPOs in South Africa in general and KZN Province specifically (UCEC).

▼ The South African Police Service officers have informally incorporated the operational methods of torture and assault in the execution of their duties in the reformed police service of South Africa. This historical conversation of police torture and assault has generated a debate over what constitutes torture and what has caused the persistence of this blunder in the police service. This study went a step further by exploring accountability mechanisms that are in place to reduce incidences of torture and assault. The investigation entailed an analysis of the effectiveness of the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) strategies and challenges encountered by investigating officers in addressing section 28(1)(f) of the IPID mandate. The analyses of the experiences of the selected IPID investigating officers strove to determine the nature of police torture and assault in this country’s democratic dispensation and to determine the stumbling blocks that exist in the SAPS and IPID organisations for the reduction of police torture and assault in KwaZulu-Natal. This study adopted a qualitative interpretive phenomenological approach. In-depth interviews were conducted with ten (n=10) IPID investigating officers whose investigations were guided by section 28(1)(f) of the IPID mandate in the KwaZulu-Natal province. The participants were selected by means of the purposive sampling technique. Using a thematic analysis approach, the study revealed that assault in KwaZulu-Natal province includes slapping, kicking and punching a suspect whereas torture constituted strangulation, suffocation, electrocution and tubing and occurred predominantly when the police were searching for information about dagga, firearms and undetected suspects. The influx of cases of torture and assault is the outcome of several problems, namely public’s lack of understanding of the police procedures, public provoke the police, excessively volatile raids, inadequate police training as it does not address the challenges that the police experience in their occupational setting, and management pressure on the police to meet projected targets for firearm or drug retrieval. More specifically, the study also found that, in addressing the issue of police torture and assault, IPID investigating officers encountered various challenges such as a lack of evidence from complainants, lack of police cooperation, lack of complainants’ cooperation in the investigation, and lack of resources. The findings thus suggest that investigation strategies in terms of police brutality are ineffective due to investigative challenges. This in turn renders the disciplinary and criminal conviction strategies ineffective in ensuring police accountability. As a result, torture and assault by police officers are perpetuated.

▼ This study analyses the perceptions of police suicide in the Durban Metro Police Service (DMPS). The research was necessitated by the increasing police suicide and suicide attempt rates within this municipality. Emile Durkheim’s theory of suicide was used in the study to assist in the identification of the causes and factors of police suicide. Conceptualization was based on the existing legislative, theoretical and conceptual perspectives that apply to suicide. These were drawn from various sources to provide insight into police suicide in South Africa. The nature of the study necessitated the use of interviews, literature review and focus group discussions in a qualitative research design to elicit information from the participants in the DMPS. The study established that within the DMPS, police suicide was caused by both personal and work-related issues such as working night shifts, availability of fire arms as well as the police culture which encourages officials to be masters of their own destinies. Such cultures constrain officials from communicating their problems, hence they commit suicide. The important role of the Suicide Prevention Workshop, the social workers and management was also revealed as important for reducing suicide rates within the DMPS. In view of the results, it is recommended that the nature of the working relationship amongst police management and employees be strengthened in order to create an environment of trust and openness within the department. Management should be on the lead in the development of this relationship. It is also important that the State intervene in the provision of training with regard to suicide. Management (both managers and supervisors) need to be given the first prioritize in the undertaking of such programmes so that they can be able to motivate their subordinates to undergo the same training. Training is also good for management in that managers and supervisors will be able to identify their troubled subordinates and then encourage their subordinates to attend the workshops. Some Suicide Prevention Workshops need to be conducted on a monthly basis to try and curb the suicide rate within the police department. Both the department and the State must invest resources in the development of the workshops. Future research need to focus on determining the reasons why officers despise attending workshops. It is also essential to explore the manner and the approach use by DMPS management in referring troubled officers for assistance. More importantly, research is needed in exploring the perceptions of subordinates concerning their managers and the services rendered by the Employee Assistance Services (EAS).

▼ Taxi violence is a fundamental challenge in South Africa. Most disturbing is the prevalence of innocent passengers, including children, who become the victims of this form of violence. The main aim of this study was to investigate the transition of taxi violence in a new democratic South Africa and to suggest ways in which the country should deal with the issue of taxi violence. The study argues that issues around taxi routes, rank space, the poaching of passengers from one taxi association by another, as well as greed, remain major contributing factors to ongoing taxi conflicts. This thesis presents a comprehensive interpretation of the transition of the minibus-taxi industry over various periods and the conflicts and violence that have overwhelmed it since the advent of the minibus-taxi industry. In an attempt to comprehensively understand the growth, the developments, as well as the fundamental issues affecting taxi violence, a comprehensive historical overview of the minibus-taxi industry and the challenges that have plagued it is presented. The overview covers significant sequential periods, namely 1977-1987; 1987-1994; 1994-1999; and 1999 to date. The research study thus focused on the transition and development of the minibus-taxi industry and its related violent conflicts within the years of apartheid and since its demise. An analysis of the apartheid Government’s efforts to resolve the conflicts and complications in the minibus-taxi industry is followed by an investigation of the new democratic Government’s attempts to implement various strategies that would remedy the situation. Such strategies have seen the transformation, formalization as well as the deregulation of the taxi industry in South Africa. Particular foci of the investigation were the nature of and the connection that existed among taxi violence, taxi owners and law enforcement agencies. Therefore, in addition to a comprehensive literature review, interviews were conducted with fifteen taxi drivers in an attempt to illuminate the current causes of taxi violence from taxi drivers’ perspective. It was envisaged that the interviews would offer in-depth insights into the respondents’ opinions and perceptions of current issues relating to taxi violence in the minibus-taxi industry. This qualitative data collection method utilised semi-structured interviews. The interview schedule contained both open-ended and close-ended questions. The findings were analysed by means of a thematic analysis process which was utilized as a means of making sense of the data by extracting various emerging themes. Two significant theories underpinned this study, namely the conflict theory and the labeling theory. The findings revealed that, despite the demise of apartheid, taxi violence still remains a major challenge in the South African minibus-taxi industry. The research study was conducted in Mpumalanga township, which is a low-urban community settlement in the eThekwini Municipality in the KwaZulu-Natal province. The interview data corroborated the findings of… Advisors/Committee Members: Mkhize, Sazelo Michael. (advisor).

▼ The removal of soft tissue from skeletal remains is a process familiar to a wide array of scientific fields and the methods used to perform it are likewise numerous yet inconsistent. In forensic investigations and crime labs across the country, there lacks a standardization for this process. This lack of standardization pairs with a distinct lack of literature on the potential benefits and risks associated with each method as well as basic information on the proper amount of additives, temperatures, or time estimations. In a forensic context, human remains may be the only evidence available, which makes any damage or loss of material particularly detrimental, and this lack of knowledge on the effects of common methods not only negligent, but dangerous. In this research, domesticated pig (Sus scrofa domesticus) limbs were obtained as a human proxy to study the effects of five distinct but commonly used flesh removal methods: dermestid beetles (Dermestes lardarius), distilled-water boil, bleach boil, ammonia simmer, and enzyme-based detergent simmer. Each pig limb was weighed and measured before being randomly selected for one of the five methods with each method being done in three separate trials. Each method was evaluated based on a set of specific criteria, focusing primarily on time efficiency, cost, damage, and the effects on DNA extraction from the remaining bone sample. While the dermestid beetles had the longest time-expectancy, they caused the least amount of damage to the bone surface and DNA quality. The bleach, while severely hindering the ability to amplify DNA, was the quickest of the methods and cleaned them the most efficiently. While the ammonia was the most potent of the methods, it was efficient, low-cost, and left amplifiable DNA. No method performed the worst in every criterion evaluated, nor did any method perform the best. Each method proved to have different advantages and disadvantages, whether the disadvantages were higher cost, long time expectancy, or destruction of DNA. The results of this research highlight how differently each method performs and how easily bone material can be affected. Method selection is a decision that can severely impact later research and analysis, and demands to be done with more consideration and awareness of the potential risks and desired results.

▼ The removal of soft tissue from skeletal remains is a process familiar to a wide array of scientific fields and the methods used to perform it are likewise numerous yet inconsistent. In forensic investigations and crime labs across the country, there lacks a standardization for this process. This lack of standardization pairs with a distinct lack of literature on the potential benefits and risks associated with each method as well as basic information on the proper amount of additives, temperatures, or time estimations. In a forensic context, human remains may be the only evidence available, which makes any damage or loss of material particularly detrimental, and this lack of knowledge on the effects of common methods not only negligent, but dangerous. In this research, domesticated pig (Sus scrofa domesticus) limbs were obtained as a human proxy to study the effects of five distinct but commonly used flesh removal methods: dermestid beetles (Dermestes lardarius), distilled-water boil, bleach boil, ammonia simmer, and enzyme-based detergent simmer. Each pig limb was weighed and measured before being randomly selected for one of the five methods with each method being done in three separate trials. Each method was evaluated based on a set of specific criteria, focusing primarily on time efficiency, cost, damage, and the effects on DNA extraction from the remaining bone sample. While the dermestid beetles had the longest time-expectancy, they caused the least amount of damage to the bone surface and DNA quality. The bleach, while severely hindering the ability to amplify DNA, was the quickest of the methods and cleaned them the most efficiently. While the ammonia was the most potent of the methods, it was efficient, low-cost, and left amplifiable DNA. No method performed the worst in every criterion evaluated, nor did any method perform the best. Each method proved to have different advantages and disadvantages, whether the disadvantages were higher cost, long time expectancy, or destruction of DNA. The results of this research highlight how differently each method performs and how easily bone material can be affected. Method selection is a decision that can severely impact later research and analysis, and demands to be done with more consideration and awareness of the potential risks and desired results.

▼ Footwear impression evidence is often recovered at a crime scene and is either in the form of a two dimensional and/or a three-dimensional impression. Two-dimensional impressions occur when a shoe coated with a substance such as dust, blood, or ink, leaves behind a silhouette of the sole on a surface. Three-dimensional impressions contain depth information of the sole patterns that include three-dimensional characteristics that are transferred into a substrate such as dirt, mud, or sand. From these impressions, a sufficient number of identifying characteristics can be identified and used to individualize an impression to a particular footwear on the premise that it is a practical impossibility to have two shoes with the same set of randomly acquired features. This requires the capture of unknown impressions with both photography and casting; however, there are a variety of three-dimensional capture methods that can be employed. By evaluating different materials and techniques on the basis of their permanency, elasticity, and statistical ability to acquire defined identifying characteristics, a more significant comparison of successful methods can be made based on the likelihood ratios of the average occurrence of individualizing characteristics. This provides a powerful description of resolution of one particular method and can rationalize the difference between methods through statistical analysis. This research addresses a conservative statistical model of random occurrence of individual characteristics in a defined area (sole of footwear) by using binomial coefficients to evaluate possible performance discrepancies between field collection techniques and laboratory analysis of alternate materials and methods (alginate, moulage, silicone, thixotropic plastic, polyurethane foam, polymer gypsum mix) in terms of their ability to capture identifying characteristics from impressions made by a reference footwear, and allows a comparison to contemporary forensic methods utilized in the field and laboratory analysis.

▼ All quantitative measurements have a degree of measurement uncertainty. While the term uncertainty can be essentially defined as doubt, measurement uncertainty in this sense instead inspires assurance in a quantitative value to a certain degree of confidence. Dating back to the advent of modern statistics in the 1700s, an international consensus on measurement uncertainty did not occur until the 1995 release of the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM), the fundamental document on the subject. The GUM was further adopted by major players in the field of measurement including the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM), National Measurement Institutes (NMI), and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and is used as the gold standard of documentary standards in labs around the country. Gunshot residue (GSR) patterns of distribution are used to establish a range of possible distances that the muzzle of the firearm was from the target in order to piece together a particular series of events. Using the firearm and ammunition that was involved in that particular crime, an analyst can perform test fires using fabric swatches attached to test panels at varying muzzle-to-target distances, generally every three to six inches between contact and 48 inches. This allows for the creation of comparable patterns of soot and GSR to the actual pieces of evidence. Because different distances can have considerably different residue patterns, it is important that a method for creating the test panels minimize uncertainty in order to be considered reliable and reproducible. When establishing a protocol for determining the measurement uncertainty in the creation of test panels, the two most important factors are the measuring device and a repeatability study. A measuring device, in this case a stainless-steel ruler, with metrological traceability reduces the measurement uncertainty because every value is reliable and traceable back to an original source. A repeatability study is then used to take numerous measurements over time under similar conditions. Using this data, statistical analysis can be applied to evaluate the standard deviations and uncertainties. A total of 238 measurements were taken by eight members of the Boston Police Department Crime Laboratory on eleven different days over the course of a month. The measurements were divided into eight baseline distances that the firing device, a Ransom Rest, had been set to: 3”, 6”, 9”, 12”, 18”, 24”, 36”, and 42”. The data was analyzed as a whole, as well as split into two groups: a group of four analysts who are proficient and authorized to perform GSR distance determination testing (Group A), and a second group of four analysts with no GSR distance determination training or experience (Group B). At a confidence interval of 95.45%, the reported uncertainty was found to be 0.082 inches for the total group, 0.045 inches for the group trained in performing GSR distance determination, and 0.043 inches for the group with no experience… Advisors/Committee Members: Brodeur, Amy (advisor).

▼ The importance of culture as a reference point in clinical practices such as forensic psychology has been considerably valued yet poorly understood, especially in an age where precision and sophistication outlast cultural authenticity and patient-clinician relationship. This paper looks at the gaps and inconsistencies that exist in current forensic psychology research. The topic is introduced by delving into the understanding of the phenomenon of culture and its influences on our everyday conditioning. Aspects such as language, biological development, traditions, rituals, and narratives are emphasized as potent tools that drive individuals to create and mold culture according to needs and requirements of the moment. These elements are then used for signifying the inherent ways in which culture can result in both despair as well as positive enforcement, thereby being a powerful element of consideration in forensic assessment practice. The essential concept explored in this paper involves the clinicians’ perspectives on the meaning of cultural values, norms and beliefs that shape the behavior of the patient. Through this exploration I attempted to understand how the clinical practice of forensic psychology can be made more authentic and less cold and calculated by consideration of cultural malleability. By using thematic analysis, I reviewed a large collection of the relevant literature in an attempt to understand the core concepts that drive clinicians in their cultural considerations. I emphasized attention to the malleable nature of culture and the intricate ways in which culture is related to biological, psychological, anthropological, and legal aspects of forensic psychology. The conclusions of the paper include specific considerations for creating a well-structured cultural consultation model, which emphasizes attention to aspects like clinical approach, patient’s family of origin, current community, as well as biological and psychological conditions of the patient and the patient’s cultural perspective on those conditions.

▼ The awareness of health risks associated with sun exposure, primarily ultra violet (UV) radiation, have played a large role in the introduction of sunless self-tanning products. These products, produced by cosmetic companies, are intended to provide the user with a sun-tanned appearance without exposing the skin to harmful UV radiation. While the manufacturers of these products claim that the products are transfer-free, several reports of the tanner depositing onto the wearers clothing have been documented1. As this is a highly undesirable characteristic for the consumer, the product's ability to transfer onto clothing makes sunless self-tanners a potentially valuable piece of forensic evidence in cases where an altercation between two individuals has occurred, specifically in sexual assaults, beatings, and homicides. The presence of self-tanner on an individual's clothing could help corroborate a story and provide an additional piece of evidence and/or leads to an investigation. The purpose of this study was to determine if sunless self-tanners transfer from skin to clothing. Given that a transfer occurs, this research was also intended to both identify and evaluate the differences seen between self-tanning products using instrumental techniques that would typically be used in forensic labs. Sixteen sunless self-tanning products were added to the skin as directed by the manufacturer. After an assigned time interval since application (15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours, or 12 hours) was reached, a white cotton swatch was used to wipe a portion of the sunless self-tanner off of the skin in attempt to simulate a realistic scenario of an altercation between individuals who may be wearing the product. Observations of the cotton swatches were document. Transferred material on the cotton swatches was analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Analysis of the products prepared directly from the packaging as well as two samples containing transferred material were analyzed using Gas Chromatography- Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). All of the sixteen samples tested transferred from the skin onto the cotton swatch when forcibly wiped at each time interval. FTIR analysis was unable to discriminate between the commercial products but was able to separate the samples into six groups based on similarities seen between the spectra. Analysis using this instrumental technique was useful in identifying the samples as sunless self-tanning products, but was unable to differentiate further. Analysis of the sunless self-tanners prepared directly from their packaging/bottle using GC-MS was able to differentiate between the products, providing a combination of chemical ingredients that were unique to each product. Analysis of the transferred material on the cotton swatches did not identify all of the chemical components that were earlier considered unique to that sample, however, peaks were observed in the chromatogram that were also present in the samples when prepared directly from their…

▼ If a striated tool such as a screw driver is used to commit a crime, often there is a tool mark left behind as evidence. It is then the job of a forensic tool mark examiner to compare this crime scene tool mark to tool marks made by a suspect's tool to determine if they match, i.e were made by the same tool. Forensic tool mark examiners say that these striated tool marks are comprised of 'class' and 'individual' characteristics where class characteristics are traits common to a large number of tools such as the width of a screwdriver head and individual characteristics are traits unique to a specific tool such as imperfections and wear patterns in the surface of a screwdriver. Examiners first compare marks according to their class characteristics and if they match, they continue to compare the individual characteristics. If the class characteristics do not match, it is concluded the marks were not made by the same tool. Many of the algorithms being developed to remove the subjective nature of an examiner's comparison ignore the distinction between class and individual characteristics and attempt to directly compare the marks visually, or by applying some quantitative similarity index. We have developed a procedure for comparing tool marks that initially decomposes a digitized tool mark into class and individual components and applies a fixed width window correlation separately to each component. Based on the offsets (or registration) producing the maximized correlation (optimal offsets) and the correlation at the remaining offsets, we formulate hypothesis tests (Different Tool vs. Common Tool) with test statistics and p-values based on the distance between the optimal offsets for the two components, or by setting a threshold for correlations between the individual component series. Additionally, we have developed a simulation based approach for a test based on the maximized correlation between two tool marks. Finally, we review the method of Chumbley et al. (2010) and propose possible improvements.
