DNA analysis has become one of the most powerful tools in forensic inference for human identification and is now used worldwide. It is used to be statistical technique for the individual identification of a civil and criminal action. The purpose of this article is computerization of the statistical technique for the population study and DNA evidence analysis. The system using SAS/AF and SAS/SCL is the graphic user interface and the correspondence of the changed experimental circumstances.

In recent years, criminal profiling has received tremendous attention in the investigation of violent crimes in Korea. The basic premise of criminal profiling is that different patterns of offences will reflect differences in personality traits or motives among criminals. This article reviews the concept of behavioral evidence analysis as a method of criminal profiling and proposes the possibility of linking it to forensic wound interpretation. Behavior has different meanings across cultures and localities, and all crime scenes have their own characters and stories, which can be inferred using insight into the dynamics of human behavior. From the criminal profiling perspective, an offending action can be divided into two types: instrumental action and expressive action. In reality, however, violent criminal behavior is extremely variable, and it is difficult to make precise predictions regarding an offender's behavior or personality. For successful profiling, we need to collect unbiased, objective information, including autopsy reports, and forensic pathologists should have basic knowledge about behavioral evidence analysis. The authors insist that the assessment of injury as an offending behavior can be helpful for deducing the motive for the offence and personality traits of the perpetrator.

Disposal of a homicide victim by dismemberment is rare, but individual cases are on record in most major medicolegal departments. Recognition of postmortem mutilation may be of importance in the interpretation of certain murders committed by sexual perverts and other mentally deranged individuals and sometimes performed for the sole reason of easier disposal of the body. Postmortem dismemberment is usually readily recognizable as such; The edges of the injuries are dry and lack evidence of bleeding. The joints may be disarticulated without fracture, or the use of an axe or saw may be evident from examination of bones. Parallel horizontal or oblique furrows in the bone surface are caused by skipping of the saw prior to establishing depth. Such patterns on the bone may assist in identifying the particular saw involved. So we report 25 dismembered corpses that autopsied in National Institute of Scientific Investigation. This paper can help in attempting to establish not only the first criminal investigation steps but also the medicolegal approach methods in unidentified and dismembered deaths.
