There is more to forensic science than meets the eye. Besides the well-known DNA research, it also includes ballistics (examination of firearms and ammunition), toxicology, cybercrime, forensic pathology and much more. The Verilabs congress is primarily aimed at the police and judiciary and also the sitting and standing magistracy. With this congress, Verilabs aims to keep participants abreast of important developments in the forensic world.

To offer a varied programme, Verilabs has chosen four speakers from different fields this year. For example, Geert-Jan Knoops will reflect on the practical implications and effects of the new Benefit Review Act, which came into force on 1 October 2012. André Horne, as a firearms specialist, will give a lecture on how forensic science is applied with in incidents involving military personnel operating in war zones. How can it be determined, for example, whether there was friendly fire or not? Maarten Blom, our DNA expert, will take a look at counter-expertise in practice. Indeed, counter-expertise is a broad concept. Using a number of examples, he will discuss which research questions make sense. Finally, there will be a lecture on a rapidly emerging form of forensic investigation, namely digital forensics. The expert, Christian Prickaerts will discuss Tracks Inspector. The latest tool developed to allow tactical investigators to access digital trace material without the intervention of a digital investigator.
