The Development of a Stabbing Machine for Forensic Textile Damage Analysis.

Stab injuries and fatalities are common crimes of violence in several countries, particularly those where access to firearms is restricted including Australia, Scandinavia and the United Kingdom [1]. For example, in Australia, more homicide victims die from stab wounds than from any other single cause. The total number of homicides that were attributed to knives and sharp implements peaked in 2006-08 to 43%, and has remained consistent on average until 2011 [2,3]. Analysis of damage to the victim’s clothing such as cuts and tears caused by a weapon may provide important forensic information [4,5].
