Managing bias risks
In this article, we explain and discuss the procedures used by the Forensic Voice Centre, UK, to manage forensic cases and mitigate the risks presented by cognitive biases: we define these simply as ‘how information, organisational or motivational factors, ways of thinking, and ways of doing can affect forensic outcomes’. This article outlines the practical steps taken in every case to manage information to avoid exposing experts to contextual in…
Survey on forensic transcription practices
In this article we present the results of a survey about expert transcription practices, which received responses from 28 forensic practitioners from Europe and North America. We found a number of areas of convergence in transcription methods, such as the production of multiple drafts and widespread awareness of priming and cognitive bias. Responses also revealed some areas with less agreement among practitioners, particularly concerning drafting…
Style variability in disfluency analysis for forensic speaker comparison
Disfluencies are a natural part of speech, often going unnoticed by both speaker and listener. Recent research on disfluency profiles (McDougall and Duckworth 2017, 2018) shows that they contain speaker-specific information which could be analysed and compared in forensic speaker comparison (FSC) casework. Since samples in FSC tend to be mismatched for speaking situation and style, the present study investigates the consistency of speakers’ disfl…
The Creation of Dangerous Violent Criminals
Lonnie H. Athens’ path-breaking work examines a problem that has baffled experts and the general public alike: How does a person become a predatory violent criminal? In the original edition, the process that Athens labeled “violentization” encompassed four stages: brutalization, defiance, dominative engagements, and virulency. In this edition, Athens identifies a new final stage, violent predation, as the culmination of the violent criminal’s dev…
Aging effects on voice features used in forensic speaker comparison
This article assesses the impact of long-term non-contemporaneity between recordings on the strength of forensic voice evidence and provides recommendations for casework. Analyses of longitudinal recordings from a British television documentary series illustrate the effects of aging on forensically useful acoustic parameters. Recordings from eight speakers span five seven-year intervals, between ages 21 and 49. The frequency of the first three fo…
Assessing non-contemporaneous forensic speech evidence
The Making of John James Audubon
In an 1830 letter to Philadelphia naturalist Richard Harlan, John James Audubon lamented how little Americans appreciated his ornithological work. A passage from this letter supports and also complicates efforts to claim Audubon as an American phenomenon: Where are our Washingtons, Franklins ... nay, even Jeffersons? 'No taste in America.' That is severe judgment indeed-and yet what can we say to the contrary. For my part, was I not an American I…
The Need for Nuclear Power
The world needs more energy. Energy multiplies human labor, increasing productivity. It builds and lights schools, purifies water, powers farm machinery, drives sewing machines and robot assemblers, stores and moves information. World population is steadily increasing, having passed six billion in 1999. Yet one-third ofthat number?two billion people?lack access to electricity. Development depends on energy, and the alternative to development is s…

Sound symbolism
Sound symbolism is the study of the relationship between the sound of an utterance and its meaning. In this interdisciplinary collection of new studies, twenty-four leading scholars discuss the role of sound symbolism in a theory of language. They consider sound symbolic processes in a wide range of languages from Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and North and South America. Beginning with an evocative typology of sound symbolic processes, they g…
Nuclear Renewal
The Los Alamos Primer
This work features the classified lectures that galvanized the Manhattan Project scientists - with annotations for the nonspecialist reader and an introduction by a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian. In March 1943 a group of young scientists, sequestered on a mesa near Santa Fe, attended a crash course in the new atomic physics. lecturer was Robert Serber, J. Robert Oppenheimer's protege, and they learned that their job was to invent the world's f…

The Consequential Future in Cree and Ojibwa
Lexical Taxonomies
In the course of my work on a dictionary of Qjibwa, an Amerindian language of the Great Lakes region, I have come across a number of interesting lexical facts which constitute an important part of what speakers know about the reference of words but which are not generally included in semantic analysis as it is currently practiced.1 In particular, while working on plant names, it came to my attention that there exist lexical taxonomies which have …
