| Objectives | |
|---|---|
| : OBJECTIVE OF THIS COURSE IS TEACHING OF CHEMICAL ANALYTICAL METHODS USED IN INVESTIGATIONS TO IDENTIFY THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR CRIMES, AND OF LEGAL ISSUES OF CHEMICAL EXPERTISE.THE COURSE IS FOCUSED ON THE ANALYSIS OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES, SPECIFICALLY DRUGS ABUSE. IT PROVIDES ALL OF CONCEPTUAL INFORMATION USED IN ANY FORENSIC CHEMISTRY SECTION OF A MODERN FORENSIC LABORATORY.GENERIC EXAMINATION TECHNIQUES ARE PRESENTED FOLLOWED BY SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS. |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| THE MAIN PREREQUISITES TO APPROACH FORENSIC CHEMISTRY COURSE ARE THE BASIC CONCEPTS OF GENERAL, ORGANIC AND ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY. |
| Contents | |
|---|---|
| CLASSIFICATION OF METHODS OF ANALYSIS USED IN THE INVESTIGATION OF THE SCIENTIFIC POLICE IN ANTI-DOPING CONTROLS, TO INVESTIGATE ANTI-ADULTERATION. POTENTIAL AND LIMITS OF CHEMICAL ANALYSIS IN FORENSICS. SAMPLING METHODOLOGIES IN FORENSIC SCIENCES: SIGNIFICANCE AND SPECIFICITY OF THE SAMPLE WITH RESPECT TO THE ENVIRONMENT. METHODS OF SAMPLE PRESERVATION. THE FUNCTION OF THE "BLANK TEST". PROCEEDINGS FOR THE QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE FINDINGS. STRATEGIES OF ANALYSIS. INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS: IDENTIFICATION OF THE MARGIN OF UNCERTAINTY OF ANALYTICAL RESULTS. SENSITIVITY AND DETECTION LIMIT OF THE DIFFERENT ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES ADOPTED USING FORENSICS. DETERMINATION OF THE ACCURACY OF AN ANALYTICAL METHOD. CRITERIA FOR ASSESSING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RESULTS IN TERMS OF THEIR USE IN FORENSIC SCIENCE. LEGAL ISSUES IN CHEMICAL EXPERTISE. ANALYTICAL METHODS: APPLICATION EXAMPLES IN THE FORENSIC INVESTIGATION OF RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY, ATOMIC ABSORPTION IN THE ULTRAVIOLET, VISIBLE, NEAR-INFRARED AND MASS SPECTROMETRY; EXAMPLES OF CHARACTERIZATION IN FORENSIC INVESTIGATIONS OF FINDINGS BY LIGHT MICROSCOPY AND SEM (SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY); EXAMPLES OF APPLICATION IN FORENSIC INVESTIGATIONS OF DIFFERENT CHROMATOGRAPHIC SEPARATION TECHNIQUES (LC, GC, GCMS). |
| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| THE COURSE PROVIDES 48 HOURS OF TEACHING. THE COURSE IS ORGANIZED AS FOLLOWS: CLASSROOM LESSONS (32 HOURS) ON ALL SUBJECTS OF THE PROGRAM; LESSONS IN THE LABORATORY (16 HOURS) WHICH INCLUDE THE USE OF THE TOOLS USED IN FORENSIC INVESTIGATIONS. IN DETAIL, SIMULATIONS OF: ANALYSIS OF THE GUNSHOT RESIDUE WITH THE AID OF ELECTRONIC MICROSCOPY (SEM); DRUG ANALYSIS WITH THE AID OF CHROMATOGRAPHIC AND SPECTROSCOPIC TECHNIQUES; ANALYSIS OF TRACES OF PAINT FOUND ON PLACES WHERE ROAD ACCIDENTS OCCURRED; ANALYSIS OF INKS USED IN DOCUMENTS THAT MUST BE AUTHENTICATED. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE IS CERTIFIED BY AN ORAL EXAM. THE TEST CONSISTS OF AN INTERVIEW WITH QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION ON THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL CONTENT OF THE COURSE. IT IS AIMED TO VERIFY THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING ACQUIRED BY THE STUDENT. EXPOSURE CAPACITY WITH THE USE OF APPROPRIATE TERMINOLOGY WILL BE ALSO EVALUATED. |
