Recently a traffic accident of heavy duty vehicles under the mandatory installation of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) is often reported in the media. Heavy duty vehicle accidents are normally occurring a high number of passenger's injury. According to report of Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, FCW (Forward Collision Warning) and AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) were associated with a statistically significant 12% reduction in the rate of police-reportable crashes per vehicle miles traveled, and a significant 41% reduction in the rear-end crash rate of large trucks. Also many countries around the world, including Korea, are studying the effects of ADAS installation on accident reduction. Traffic accident statistics of passenger vehicle for business purpose in TMACS (Traffic safety information Management Complex System in Korea) tends to remarkably reduce the number of deaths due to the accident (2017(211), 2018(170), 2019(139)), but the number of traffic accidents (2017(8,939), 2018(9,181), 2019(10,095)) increases. In this paper, it is introduced a traffic accident case that could lead to high injury traffic accidents by being equipped with AEB in a bus. AEB reduces accidents and damage in general but malfunction of AEB could occur severe accident. Therefore, proper education is required to use AEB system, simply instead of focusing on developing and installing AEB to prevent traffic accidents. Traffic accident of AEB equipped vehicle may arise a new dispute between a driver's fault and vehicle defect. It is highly recommended to regulate an advanced event data recorder system.

Various video conferencing and collaboration applications have emerged due to the global epidemic of new viral infections. In addition to real-time video conferencing, video conferencing applications provide features such as chat and file sharing on various platforms. Because various personal information is stored through functions such as chatting, file and screen sharing, these video conferencing applications are the major target of analysis from a digital forensic investigation. In the case of applications that provide cross-platform, the form of stored data is different depending on the platform. Therefore, to utilize data of video conferencing application for forensic investigation, preliminary research on artifacts stored by platform is required. In this paper, we used the video conferencing applications GoToWebinar and GoToMeeting and analyzed the artifacts generated. As a result, we list the main data from a digital forensic investigation. We identify data stored for each platform provided by GoToWebinar and GoToMeeting and organize artifacts that can estimate user behavior. Also, we classify the data that can be acquired according to the role and environment within the video conference.

The Statement evidence is an important method of proof in the criminal investigation and trial. Under certain conditions set by Korean Criminal Procedure Law, paper records of interrogations are admissible in criminal courts. However, it is shown that distortions are ever-present in paper records. Therefore, this study attempted to examine the effect of the investigator's belief about the veracity of a suspect on distortions of paper records. Ninety police investigators were randomly allocated into one of the three conditions('guilty belief', 'innocent belief', 'neutral belief'), and all the investigators were then asked to document a paper record while watching a prefilmed interrogation interview of the crime. The results showed that (1) the investigator's belief had significant effects on distortions. (2) All groups did more commissions than omissions. (3) matters subject to interrogation also had significant effects on distortions. In the conclusion, implications and limitations of the study were disscussed.

Previous artificial latent fingerprint solution has shown unsatisfactory results. Therefore, in this study, we developed an artificial latent fingerprint solution close to the actual fingerprint composition by improving the lipid composition. We mixed lipid solution with amino acid solution at v/v ratios as follows: 2:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:8, 1:10, 1:20. We then dropped the same amount of each proportion of artificial latent fingerprint solution on porous paper and non-porous slide glass. Subsequently, each sample was treated with Oil red O, Cyanoacrylate fuming and Basic yellow 40 staining. As the concentration of lipids decreased, the output also decreased. Both types of surfaces and all concentrations were visually confirmed very well. In addition, the reactivity to lipids was significantly higher compared to the previous artificial latent fingerprint solution. Furthermore, for the quantitative evaluation, it is necessary to conduct additional research on the printing of the artificial latent fingerprint solution.

In this paper, we propose a model for identifying drug trafficking organizations and assessing their scale by collecting drug promotional tweets from the social media platform 'X,' with a focus on investigating drug crimes that frequently occur among teenagers and young adults. Recently, various cyber crimes, such as drug distribution, illegal gambling, and sex offense, have been on the rise, exploiting the anonymity provided by social media. Drug trafficking organizations, in particular, operate in a decentralized cell structure, where each member receives anonymous instructions regarding only their specific role and is not directly connected to other members. To track these types of crimes, we designed experimental scenarios using various clustering algorithms, such as K-means Clustering and Spectral Clustering, alongside text embedding models like BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) and GloVe (Global Vectors for Word Representation). Furthermore, the clustering results derived from each scenario are validated using Jaccard Similarity and a full-scale investigation. We then analyze tweet clusters identified as the same drug organization across all scenarios, prioritizing the identification of high-priority accounts for cyber investigations.

Recently, due to the popularization of smart devices such as smartphones and the like, photography and video recording audio recordings are frequently and efficiently performed. Thus the use of digital files of those types is increasing. For these digital files to be legally valid as digital evidence, the proof of origin for digital evidence was essential. Mainly, due to the characteristics of the digital audio file, it is possible to make a sophisticated forgery and falsification through the mass copying and digital editing program from the original record. In this way, it has been increasing more and more cases of manipulating digital audio files. In this paper, we propose the procedure of analyzing the file format of digital audio files and the audio signal after the analysis of various actual cases. As a result, it has confirmed that the digital audio files can be not original through traces generated during the manipulation of the digital audio file in case of the manipulated data. Moreover, it has confirmed that the proposed authentication analysis procedure may not clarify whether or not the digital audio file has been a forgery in some specific condition.

Jeju Special Self-Government Province adopted an autonomous police system for the first time since 60 years in Korean police. The purpose of autonomous police system is to offer a police service to be suitable in regional conditions. But Jeju autonomous police system for nearly one year after adoption is criticized to be established on the ground of political reason but not local decentralization. Actually Jeju autonomous police has not a clear cut jurisdiction and operation scope because of the jurisdiction duplication between national and autonomous police. The original task is confined on environment and sightseeing so on given to administration police for local self-government. So criminal investigation authority on general crimes is not to Jeuju autonomous police on account of special judicial police. First, it is the structural rationalization of Jeju autonomous police system. It speaks that Jeju provincial police bureau and police station have to be as national police institution, on the other hand, patrol district station and police box have to be as autonomous police institution. Of course, functional division has to be followed. National police performs managing all the assembly and demonstration by the management law on assembly and demonstration including the suppression against any large scale demonstration and disturbance, also the investigation on serious crimes just as international crimes and broaden area crimes including all the felony. Together national police performs the duty concerned to all the foreign affairs and national securities in along with the investigation on traffic accidents. On the other hand, autonomous police performs the function for citizen's life safety as crime prevention and the enforcement on the violation against police operation law, together the traffic management and the regulation on traffic violations. and the investigation on minor crime as simple violence or petty larceny including the management on local big events. Second, the budgetary of autonomous police is rationalized by the share of budgeting between Korean government and Jeju special self-government province. Third, urgent arrest authority on general crime and the rights of claims for the summary trial on minor crimes are given to autonomous police. Of course, this problem is resolved naturally in case of giving the investigation rights to autonomous police on minor crimes.

Cannabis (Marijuana) is one of the most widely used drugs in the world, and its distribution has been controlled in South Korea since 1976. Identification of 11-nor-Δ⁹-carboxy-tetrahydrocannabinol (THCCOOH) in urine can provide important proof of cannabis use, and it is considered scientific evidence in the forensic field. In this study, we describe a simultaneous quantitative method for identifying THCCOOH and THCCOOH-glucuronide in urine, using simple liquid-liquid extraction (LLE), and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). THCCOOH-D₃ and THCCOOH-glucuronide-D₃ were used as internal standards. Validation results of the matrix effect, as well as recovery, linearity, precision, accuracy, process efficiency, and stability were all satisfactory. No carryover, endogenous or exogenous interferences were observed. The limit of detection (LOD) of THCCOOH and THCCOOH-glucuronide were 0.3 and 0.2 ng/mL, respectively. The developed method was applied to 28 authentic human urine samples that tested positive in immunoassay screening and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) tests. The ranges of concentrations of THCCOOH and THCCOOH-glucuronide in the samples were less than LOQ~266.90 ng/mL and 6.43~2133.03 ng/mL, respectively. The concentrations of THCCOOH-glucuronide were higher than those of THCCOOH in all samples. This method can be effectively and successfully applied for the confirmation of cannabinoid use in human urine samples in the forensic field.
