When We Assume Psychopathy Is Involved in Serial Murders

When the topic of serial murder comes up, almost reflexively, the diagnosis of psychopathic personality is given as an explanation for the offender's behavior. Question: "Why did he kill all these people?" Answer: "He's a psychopath." It seems that once it is proclaimed that the serial killer is a psychopath, everything is understood. This assertion has gained such widespread acceptance that its validity is never questioned.

AI techniques speed up forensic analysis of crucial crime scene larvae

A maggot's age and species can give essential information to forensic entomologists investigating murders. Combing through these fly larvae, investigators can potentially learn when and where a crime happened, whether the body has been moved or whether toxins were involved. For example, blowflies are among the earliest insect colonizers of corpses; they typically sniff out and lay eggs on a dead body within minutes to hours.
