Arson

MOTIVES FOR ARSON

A. Revenge, Spite, Jealousy

This category includes jilted lovers, feuding neighbors, disgruntled employees, quarreling
spouses, people getting even after being cheated or abused, and people motivated by racial or
religious hostility.

B. Vandalism, Malicious Mischief

Vandals set fires for excitement and have no other motive.

C. Crime Concealment, Diversionary Tactics

Criminals sometimes set fires to obliterate the evidence of burglaries, larcenies, and murders.

D. Psychiatric Afflictions—the Pyromaniac and Schizophrenic Fire Setter

Pyromaniacs differ characteristically from other arsonists in that they lack conscious motivation
for their fire setting.

E. Vanity, Hero Fires

On occasion the person who "discovers" a fire turns out to be the one who started it and did so to
be a hero.

F. The Female Fire Setter

The female arsonist usually burns her own property, rarely that of an employer or neighbor.

G. The Child Fire Setter

Authorities on fire-setting behavior believe that repetitive or chronic fire setting by children
represents a severe behavioral symptom or psychological disturbance.

H. The Adolescent Fire Setter.

 Forensic Toxicology

Role of Toxicologist

If you are fascinated by the effects chemicals can have on the human body, this may be the
career for you. Forensic toxicologists perform scientific tests on bodily fluids and tissue samples
to identify any drugs or chemicals present in the body. Working in a lab, the forensic toxicologist
performs tests on samples collected by forensic pathologists during an autopsy or by crime scene
investigators. They use highly sophisticated instruments, chemical reagents and precise
methodologies to determine the presence or absence of specific substances in the sample.
As part of a team investigating a crime, a forensic toxicologist will isolate and identify any
substances in the body that may have contributed to the crime, such as:

 Alcohol
 Illegal or prescription drugs
 Other chemicals
 Poisons
 Metals
 Gases, such as carbon monoxide

The work requires patience and the ability to follow specific steps to achieve reliable results. The
forensic toxicologist must document every step of the process and take care to follow rules
regarding chain of custody for physical evidence.

The field of forensic toxicology has grown to include drug and alcohol testing for employers and
traffic enforcement officials as well as testing animal samples for wildlife criminal investigators
and testing for “date rape” drugs and performance-enhancing substances.

Forensic toxicologists also work on cases involving environmental contamination, to determine

the impact of chemical spills on nearby populations.

Investigators rely on the forensic toxicologist to make reliable conclusions about the impact a
specific amount of a specific substance would have on a specific individual. Often, this requires
the professional to form an educated opinion based on science and experience.

If asked to testify in court, the forensic toxicologist must be prepared to justify that opinion and
to explain complex methodologies in terms a jury can understand.

Ultraviolet Visible Spectroscopy

Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy or ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-

Vis or UV/Vis) refers to absorption spectroscopyor reflectance spectroscopy in the ultraviolet-
visible spectral region. This means it uses light in the visible and adjacent ranges. The absorption
or reflectance in the visible range directly affects the perceived color of the chemicals involved.
In this region of the electromagnetic spectrum, atoms and molecules undergo electronic
transitions. Absorption spectroscopy is complementary to fluorescence spectroscopy, in
that fluorescence deals with transitions from the excited state to the ground state, while
absorption measures transitions from the ground state to the excited state.

It is routinely used in analytical chemistry for the quantitative determination of different

analytes, such as transition metal ions, highly conjugated organic compounds, and biological
macromolecules. Spectroscopic analysis is commonly carried out in solutions but solids and
gases may also be studied.

The Beer-Lambert law states that the absorbance of a solution is directly proportional to the
concentration of the absorbing species in the solution and the path length.[3] Thus, for a fixed
path length, UV/Vis spectroscopy can be used to determine the concentration of the absorber in a
solution. It is necessary to know how quickly the absorbance changes with concentration. This
can be taken from references (tables of molar extinction coefficients), or more accurately,
determined from a calibration curve.
A UV/Vis spectrophotometer may be used as a detector for HPLC. The presence of an analyte
gives a response assumed to be proportional to the concentration. For accurate results, the
instrument's response to the analyte in the unknown should be compared with the response to a
standard; this is very similar to the use of calibration curves. The response (e.g., peak height) for
a particular concentration is known as the response factor.
