In the rapidly evolving world of crime, it is crucial for all the law enforcement agencies to stay at least one step ahead of criminals as rapid advancement of technology and societal changes have created a dynamic landscape for criminal activities. Forensic science has come a long way in recent years by taking small baby steps, thanks to advancements in technology and aptly supported by research. By analysing all kinds of evidence left at crime scenes, forensic experts can provide valuable insights into criminal behaviour patterns and potential modus operandi and furthermore this collected data allows law enforcement agencies to allocate resources effectively and proactively combat crime but with the rise of cybercrime and other technologically-driven offenses, traditional investigative methods alone are insufficient. Forensic experts specializing in latest forensic technologies are the need of the hour who can help uncover hidden traces left behind by cybercriminals, enabling authorities to prevent future attacks.

By investing both time and resources heavily in research and development on anticipating future crimes and equipping law enforcement agencies with cutting-edge forensic tools and techniques, society can better protect its citizens from emerging threats. The role of forensics cannot be understated in any way - it is an essential component in maintaining public safety as we navigate an increasingly complex world. Anticipating future crimes and addressing emerging threats is a daunting task, but one that can be achieved with the help of the latest technologies like advanced machine learning, artificial intelligence and incorporating forensics as a core in these. As we enter the next decades of the 21st century, it is imperative that we recognize the pivotal role forensics plays in ensuring public safety. This review article explores the various types of crimes that may emerge in the next decades of the 21st century, driven by technological, social, and economic factors and also investigates how forensic science and technology can possibly address these emerging threats and ensure effective crime prevention, investigation, and justice.

Early threat detection in public spaces is a crucial component of modern security measures. Recent advancements in technology have led to the development of integrated fusion engines designed to enhance the detection and mitigation of potential threats. This review focuses on a specific integrated fusion engine that has been demonstrated in public-space trials, providing insights into its efficacy, operational mechanisms, and implications for future security practices.

The co-consumption of ethanol (alcohol) and medical psychotropics presents significant public health concerns due to the compounded effects on cognitive and motor functions, potentially leading to increased risk of accidents and adverse health outcomes. A recent retrospective study conducted over three years in Spain provides insights into the prevalence and patterns of such co-consumption based on forensic samples. This review aims to summarize the key findings of this study and contextualize them within the broader European landscape.
