Criminal profiling then and now: prospect and challenges in Malaysia

The purpose of this article was to ascertain the concept of criminal profiling by taking into consideration the evolution of its definition, function, methodology and also the background of profiling officers from the beginning up to the present time. Using the critical and literature review approach, references from journals, books, statutes and international cases were analyzed to pinpoint the most recent developments to the criminal profiling method. While researches and literature reviews regarding criminal profiling were undoubtedly significant overseas, it was not the same case back in our homeland. Discussions were few and even then, not entirely focusing nor mentioning the procedures and practice of criminal profiling during investigation. It was also found that there seem to yet exist a clarity in regards to the definition and methodology of criminal profiling nor the background of profiler involved despite it being carried out during investigative process for a long period of time. This article also highlighted the challenges discovered in the practice of criminal profiling such as the vagueness of its method in our law, the existence of race-based profiling practice and the credibility of criminal profiling as an expert evidence in courts which was debatable due to the absence of any yardstick to determine the capability of a profiler

Pengendalian bedah siasat mayat semasa penularan wabak penyakit berjangkit di Malaysia : kajian kes tentang COVID-19

Kematian pemeriksa perubatan di Thailand akibat jangkitan koronavirus daripada mayat telah mengejutkan dan membimbangkan semua pihak. Kes ini menunjukkan bahawa semua pihak mempunyai risiko untuk mendapat jangkitan virus, seperti COVID-19. Dalam aspek ini, ahli patologi turut mempunyai risiko untuk mendapat jangkitan kerana mereka terlibat secara langsung dalam pengendalian bedah siasat pada setiap masa, termasuklah semasa penularan wabak penyakit berjangkit seperti, COVID-19. Bagi tujuan pengendalian bedah siasat semasa COVID-19, Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) telah membangunkan Guidelines for Handling Dead Bodies of Suspected/Probable/Confirmed COVID-19. Walaupun Garis Panduan ini dapat menjadi panduan kepada semua pihak yang terlibat secara amnya, namun Garis panduan ini dilihat tidak komprehensif dan mempunyai kekurangan. Antaranya, Garis Panduan ini tidak selari dengan garis panduan yang dikeluarkan oleh Institut Perubatan Forensik Negara. Tambahan pula, definisi kes COVID-19 yang diberikan juga tidak merangkumi semua jenis kes. Hanya kes-kes yang tergolong dalam definisi kes COVID-19 yang boleh dijalankan ujian. Jika tidak tergolong dalam definisi tersebut, maka ujian tidak boleh dijalankan. Malahan, Garis Panduan tersebut juga tidak menjelaskan pemakaian autopsi maya. Oleh itu, artikel ini bertujuan untuk menilai kerangka undang-undang yang sedia ada di Malaysia berkaitan dengan pengendalian bedah siasat dalam menangani isu-isu yang berbangkit tentang pengendalian bedah siasat semasa penularan wabak penyakit berjangkit, seperti COVID-19. Artikel ini mendapati bahawa undang-undang dan garis panduan tentang pengendalian bedah siasat mayat semasa penularan wabak penyakit berjangkit di Malaysia, khususnya COVID-19 tidak menyeluruh. Sesungguhnya, undang-undang dan garis panduan berhubung dengan pengendalian bedah siasat semasa penularan wabak penyakit berjangkit seperti COVID-19 di Malaysia haruslah ditambah baik di samping penggubalan tatacara pengendalian piawai dari segi amalan untuk membantu semua pihak yang terlibat
