Indonesian Journal of Legal and Forensic Sciences
Published by Universitas Udayana
Indonesian Journal of Legal and Forensic Sciences (IJLFS), with ISSN: 2657-0815 (online media) and 1979-1763 (print media), is a leading scientific journal currently held at the Laboratorium Forensik Sains dan Kriminologi, Udayana University. Located in Badung, Bali, Indonesia. IJLFS was born from writings resulting from a workshop held by the Forensic Sciences Communication Forum in 2008. In 2010 from the Forum Komunikasi Ilmu-Ilmu Forensik the Asosiasi Ilmu Forensik Indonesia (AIFI)/Indonesian Forensic Sciences Association (IFSA) was born, and IJLFS was built by Prof. Made Agus Gelgel Wirasuta as Editor in Chief of IJLFS. Currently IJLFS is carried out by Udayana University in collaboration with the Indonesian Forensic Sciences Association (Indonesian Forensic Sciences Association) to strengthen its relationship with the professional forensic community. This partnership not only increases the position of this journal in Indonesia but also aligns it with best practices and studies in legal and forensic science education IJLFS has been accredited by the Indonesian Ministry of Research and Technology and is ranked SINTA 3 based on the Science and Technology Index. Specializing in legal and forensic sciences, IJLFS serves as a platform for the advancement of theoretical research or practical applications to reach researchers, academics and engineering practitioners worldwide. With its commitment to open access, IJLFS ensures that the full versions of its articles are freely accessible, beyond geographic boundaries. Writers from various countries are encouraged to archive all stages of their work, without being charged Article Processing Charges (APCs). Using a CC BY license, this journal fosters international collaboration by allowing sharing and adaptation of content under the terms of the license. The review process, characterized by a double-blind method, maintains academic integrity by promoting impartial evaluation. IJLFS practice is aligned with communities, academics and practitioners in the wider forensic field, reflecting a vision of innovation, collaboration, and excellence in scholarly communication. IJLFS further underlines its commitment to quality and accessibility in the dissemination of legal and forensic science knowledge.

Abstract

The hyoid bone, a single bone structure in the human neck, has significant potential in forensic identification, particularly for sex determination. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of anthropometric measurements and morphological analysis of the hyoid bone across different populations. Using the PRISMA protocol and databases such as Publish or Perish, Science Direct, and Google Scholar, 130 initial studies were identified, with 10 relevant articles selected for detailed analysis. The results reveal significant differences in the dimensions of the hyoid bone, such as length and width, between males and females in various populations. Morphometric analysis demonstrated a 73% accuracy rate in sex identification based on specific characteristics. Other studies utilizing CT-scan techniques reported high accuracy in sex differentiation, with an area under the ROC curve reaching 81.8%. This research also highlights variations in hyoid bone dimensions influenced by population characteristics, analytical methods, and measurement techniques. For instance, the average size of the hyoid bone in males tends to be larger than in females, with statistically significant differences across studies. These findings emphasize the importance of considering population-specific factors in forensic data interpretation. The study concludes that the hyoid bone is a reliable tool for sex determination, especially when methods involve morphometric measurements and CT-scan techniques. Collaboration among forensic experts, radiologists, and anthropologists is recommended to enhance the accuracy and validity of identification outcomes. A systematic approach to using the hyoid bone has the potential to strengthen modern forensic practices with robust scientific foundations.

Abstract

In forensic science, information regarding identity and time of death is crucial in the legal investigation process. Traditionally, investigators determine the time of death by studying physical, chemical, histological, biochemical, and enzymatic changes that occur in a corpse. However, results obtained through these methods are only relevant within 72 hours after death. One method that can be used for a longer time frame is the observation of insects on the corpse. This study aims to observe the pattern of insect arrival on rabbit carcasses (Oryctolagus cuniculus) with different causes of death. The treatments involved complete and incomplete blood drainage, with the carcasses placed indoors under two conditions: slaughtered and lethally anesthetized. Insect observations were conducted in the morning, noon, and afternoon. The insects that arrived were then grouped according to the decomposition stages. The results showed that insects arriving during the early death to bloating stages belonged to the order Diptera (families Muscidae, Calliphoridae, Culicidae, and Sarcophagidae) and the order Hymenoptera. Specific insects that appeared during the decay stage were from the order Diptera (families Fannidae, Drosophilidae, and Asilidae). In the post-decay stage, the insects observed were from the order Diptera (families Muscidae, Calliphoridae, and Culicidae) and the order Hymenoptera.
