In this study, the anatomical, physiological and genetic differences of dogs, anatomical structures that play a role in scent detection, the main actors that are still used in this process with their histological and physiological mechanism, their relations with their trainers and trainers, their limitations, the basic principles and capacities of the analytical instruments used in this field and the progress made were investigated and intended to be presented to the reader in a well-organized structure.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:As the detection of the odor of drugs, explosives or volatile organic compounds released by the human body may indicate the presence of smuggling, terrorism, living or dead individuals, it is of increasing importance in criminal investigations as it can associate a person with a particular place or an object.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Although the tools and equipment used in scent detection have improved significantly in recent years and they have come close to competing with dogs which are biological detectors, dogs are considered to be the first choice for the detection of scent source due to their speed, versatility, ability to follow odor and their distinguishing features.

Abstract

As the detection of the odor of drugs, explosives or volatile organic compounds released by the human body may indicate the presence of smuggling, terrorism, living or dead individuals, it is of increasing importance in criminal investigations as it can associate a person with a particular place or an object. Although the tools and equipment used in scent detection have improved significantly in recent years and they have come close to competing with dogs which are biological detectors, dogs are considered to be the first choice for the detection of scent source due to their speed, versatility, ability to follow odor and their distinguishing features. In addition to advances in the detection of volatile organic compounds, the development of standardized applications for devices and dogs continuously increases the reliability of scent as evidence. The development of good practice guidelines will make it possible to use the methodology for pursuit and apprehension as an acceptable forensic evidence in criminal proceedings with increasing sensitivity, selectivity and reliability in detecting volatile organic compounds of interest. In this study, the anatomical, physiological and genetic differences of dogs, anatomical structures that play a role in scent detection, the main actors that are still used in this process with their histological and physiological mechanism, their relations with their trainers and trainers, their limitations, the basic principles and capacities of the analytical instruments used in this field and the progress made were investigated and intended to be presented to the reader in a well-organized structure.

Özet

Uyuşturucu, patlayıcı maddeler veya insan vücudu tarafından serbest bırakılan uçucu organik birleşiklerin kokusunun belirlenebilmesi kaçakçılığın, terörün, canlı veya ölü bireyin varlığını gösterebileceği gibi bir kişiyi belirli bir yer veya nesneyle ilişkilendirebileceği için ceza soruşturmalarında artan bir öneme sahiptir. Her ne kadar koku tespitinde kullanılan araç ve gereçler son yıllarda önemli ölçüde iyileşmiş, biyolojik detektörler olan köpekler ile rekabet edebilecek seviyeye yaklaşmış olsalar da, köpeklerin hız, çok yönlülük, kokuyu takip etme becerisi ve ayırt edici özelliklerinden dolayı hala koku kaynağının tespitinde ilk tercih olarak kullanıldıkları kabul edilmektedir. Uçucu organik birleşiklerin tespitinde kaydedilen ilerlemelerin yanı sıra, cihazlar ve köpekler için standardize uygulamaların geliştirilmesi, kokunun kanıt olarak güvenilirliğini sürekli olarak artırmaktadır. İyi uygulama kılavuzlarının geliştirilmesi, ilgilenilen uçucu organik birleşiklerin tespit edilmesindeki duyarlılık, seçicilik ve güvenilirliğinin artması ile bugün için sadece takip ve yakalamada kullanılan yöntemin ceza yargılamasında kabul edilebilir bir adli kanıt olarak kullanımını olanaklı kılacaktır. Bu çalışmada koku algılamasında rolü olan anatomik yapılar, histolojik ve fizyolojik mekanizma ile halen bu süreçte kullanılan temel aktörler olan köpeklerin anatomik, fizyolojik, genetik farklılıkları, eğitimleri ve eğiticileri ile olan ilişkileri, sınırlamaları, bu alanda kullanılan analitik cihazların temel prensip ve kapasiteleri ile kaydedilen ilerlemeler araştırılmış ve okuyucuya derli toplu bir şekilde sunulması amaçlanmıştır.
