de Ronde, Anouk (author), Kokshoorn, Bas (author), de Puit, M. (author), de Poot, Christianne J. (author)Bayesian networks have shown to be a useful tool for the evaluation of forensic findings given activity level propositions. In this paper, we demonstrate how case specific experiments can be used to assign probabilities to the states of the nodes of a Bayesian network for the evaluation of fingermarks given activity level propositions. The...journal article 2021

de Ronde, Anouk (author), van Aken, Marja (author), de Poot, Christianne J. (author), de Puit, M. (author)A previous paper published in this journal proposed a model for evaluating the location of fingermarks on two-dimensional items (de Ronde, van Aken, de Puit and de Poot (2019)). In this paper, we apply the proposed model to a dataset consisting of letters to test whether the activity of writing a letter can be distinguished from the...journal article 2020

de Ronde, Anouk (author), van Aken, Marja (author), de Puit, M. (author), de Poot, Christianne (author)In this paper, we describe a promising method to evaluate the location of fingermarks on two-dimensional objects, which provides valuable information for the evaluation of fingermarks at activity level. For this purpose, an experiment with pillowcases was conducted at the Dutch music festival Lowlands, to test whether the activity ‘smothering...journal article 2019

van Helmond, W. (author), van Herwijnen, Annemijn W. (author), van Riemsdijk, Joëlle J.H. (author), van Bochove, Marc A. (author), de Poot, Christianne J. (author), de Puit, M. (author)Fingerprints are widely used in forensic science for individualization purposes. However, not every fingermark found at a crime scene is suitable for comparison, for instance due to distortion of ridge detail, or when the reference fingerprint is not in the database. To still retrieve information from these fingermarks, several studies have...journal article 2019

de Ronde, Anouk (author), Kokshoorn, Bas (author), de Poot, Christianne J. (author), de Puit, M. (author)Fingermarks are highly relevant in criminal investigations for individualization purposes. In some cases, the question in court changes from ‘Who is the source of the fingermarks?’ to ‘How did the fingermark end up on the surface?’. In this paper, we explore the evaluation of fingermarks given activity level propositions by using Bayesian...journal article 2019
