My Experience at the 2nd International Conference on Forensic Justice
I recently had the honor of participating in the "2nd International Conference on Forensic Justice" organized by the School of Law, Forensic Justice, and Policy Studies at the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) Gandhinagar Campus. This event was held in collaboration with the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR). The conference, which took place on the 16th and 17th of September 2023, was a significant gathering of professionals, academics, and experts in the field of forensic science and law.
Day 1: Inauguration and Keynote Sessions
The conference was inaugurated with much enthusiasm and a sense of purpose. Among the eminent personalities present were Padma Shri Dr. J.M Vyas, Vice-Chancellor of NFSU; Prof. (Dr.) S.O Junare; Prof. (Dr.) Purvi Pokhariyal; Dr. Sam Garkawe, Associate Professor at Southern Cross University, Lismore, Australia; Shri Priyank Kanoongo, Chairperson of NCPCR; Honorable Justice Sanjeeb Kumar Panigrahi, Judge of the Orissa High Court; Chief Guest Shri R. Venkataramani, Attorney General for India; and Dr. R. Krishnamurthy, Chairperson and CEO of Helick Advisory Ltd.
The inaugural session set the tone for the conference, with insightful speeches highlighting the advancements in forensic science and the integral role it plays in the justice system. The discussions emphasized the need for continuous research and collaboration in this evolving field.
My Research Presentations
I was privileged to present two of my research papers at the conference:
1. Unveiling Deceptive Fingerprint Forgery
In this paper, I delved into the intricacies of fingerprint forgery, specifically focusing on the techniques used for replication and implantation of fingerprints through rubber stamps and moulds. The presentation covered the methodologies employed in these deceptive practices, their implications for forensic investigations, and the potential measures to counteract such fraudulent activities.
2. A Preliminary Study of Toe Print Dimorphism in Crime Scene Investigation
My second presentation explored the concept of toe print dimorphism and its application in crime scene investigation. This preliminary study aimed to shed light on the uniqueness of toe prints and their potential utility as a supplementary biometric identifier in forensic analysis. The findings of this research could pave the way for new avenues in crime scene investigations and biometric studies.
Day 2: Continued Learning and Valedictory Ceremony
The second day of the conference continued with various sessions and panel discussions. Each session provided deeper insights into different facets of forensic science and law, fostering a rich exchange of ideas among participants.
The event concluded with a valedictory ceremony, marking the end of two days filled with learning and networking. The ceremony was a fitting end to the conference, celebrating the knowledge shared and the connections made.
Reflections and Departure
After the valedictory ceremony, my peers and I took a flight back to Delhi, reflecting on the enriching experience we had over the past two days. The conference was not just an opportunity to present my research but also a platform to learn from the leading experts in the field. It reinforced my belief in the importance of forensic science in achieving justice and the necessity for ongoing research and innovation.
Conclusion
Participating in the 2nd International Conference on Forensic Justice was an incredibly rewarding experience. It provided me with invaluable insights, allowed me to share my research with a wider audience, and connected me with professionals and academics who share a passion for forensic science. I am grateful to the organizers, the National Forensic Sciences University, and the Indian Council of Social Science Research for this opportunity. I look forward to applying the knowledge gained and continuing my contributions to the field of forensic science.
