    Incorrect identification in forensic medicine (wrong conclusion): A case report; [Adli tibbi uygulamalarda hatali tanimlama, yanliş karar: Olgu sunumu]
    (2010) Zeyfeoǧlu Y.; Uluçay T.; Yavuz M.S.; Aşirdizer M.
    Correct identification of lesions in examined patients is as important in forensic medicine application as it is in the medical profession. However, general practitioners and clinicians often fail to give proper attention to the definition and recording of the lesions and clinical findings in patients. Additionally, the identification of the lesion is sometimes deficient or incorrect. This has hindered, particularly in traumatic events that are of a forensic nature, reaching accurate conclusions during the interpretative and legal phases. In this study, we describe the case of a nineyear-old boy admitted to the hospital following a traffic accident. During his evaluation, an ecchymosis "resembling a rail" on his chest was noted. Consequently, legal/judicial authorities suspected the child may have been exposed to violence or child abuse and he was referred to our department. Practitioners may contribute to inaccurate decisions/ conclusions if they fail to give the necessary detailed attention during the forensic interpretation (detailed examination and recording of lesions) and judicial process or if they have insufficient knowledge on this subject. This case is submitted as an interesting example since it included the possibility of inaccurate conclusion and judgment.

    The evaluation of the boundaries of the ability to manage behaviour and perception of the legal meaning and the consequences of act of the students according to a scenario-based study; [Senaryoya dayali{dotless} bir çali{dotless}şma ile öǧrencilerin da vrani{dotless}şlari{dotless}ni{dotless} yönlendirme yeteneǧi ve eylemin yasal anlam ve sonuçlari{dotless}ni{dotless} idrak etme si{dotless}ni{dotless}rlari{dotless}ni{dotless}n deǧerlendirilmesi]
    (2013) Uluçay T.; Aşirdizer M.; Sunay Yavuz M.; Gökhan Dizdar M.; Zeyfeoǧlu Y.
    Objective: The aims of this study were to determine the differences among the limits of the ability to manage behaviour and perception of the legal meaning and the consequences of the act with a scenario-based study over the students ages between 10-18 in the primary and secondary schools; and to investigate its interactions with environmental factors. Material and Method: The results of the questionnaires, which were filled out by 969 students were evaluated in this study. The descriptive characteristics of the students who attended this research were defined. For each scenario, the rates of "expected responses" were determined for each question. Results: From 1.8% to 29.2% of the students did not have the perception of what is "true or false" or the perception of what is "crime or not crime". From 1.9% to 66.1% of the students did not have foresight about the legal meaning and the consequences of the act. The environmental factors did not seem to affect them. Conclusion: The ability to manage behaviour and perception of the legal meaning and the consequences of the act for attributed crimes to every under-18-year-old child should be evaluated in special units and special juvenile courts.
