Conversations in a Crowded Room: An Assessment of the Contribution of Historical Research to Criminology

The relationship between history and social science generally, as well as history and criminology specifically, has long been considered problematic. But, since the likes of Burke (1992) and King (1999) spoke of a ‘dialogue of the deaf’, crime history has rapidly expanded and, more latterly, historical criminology has begun to emerge. This article reappraises the relationship of the subject areas by considering the impact that historical research has had on criminology. Although the impact is found to be somewhat patchy, the article identifies positive signs within the two fields that might point towards a more mutually‐enriching future

Brucella suis infection in dog fed raw meat, the Netherlands

A Brucella suis biovar 1 infection was diagnosed in a dog without typical exposure risks, but the dog had been fed a raw meat–based diet (hare carcasses imported from Argen-tina). Track and trace investigations revealed that the most likely source of infection was the dog’s raw meat diet

Cromatografia em camada delgada para o diagnóstico da intoxicação por aldicarb ("chumbinho") em cães e gatos Thin-layer chromatography for aldicarb poisoning diagnosis in dogs and cats

Avaliou-se a cromatografia em camada delgada (CCD) como método de diagnóstico toxicológico para os casos de intoxicação por aldicarb em cães e gatos, utilizando-se 50 amostras de conteúdo gástrico obtidas durante a necropsia e 50 amostras de alimentos utilizados como iscas para intoxicar criminalmente os animais. Todas as amostras resultaram positivas para o aldicarb, mostrando ser a CCD uma técnica qualitativa eficiente, rápida e de baixo custo, com uso potencial na toxicologia veterinária forense.<br>The present study concerns about the identification of aldicarb residues using thin-layer chromatography (TLC) in 50 samples of gastric content obtained from the necropsy of dogs and cats and 50 samples of foods suspected of being used as baits. All samples resulted positive for aldicarb showing that the TLC is an efficient, fast and not expensive qualitative method for the detection of aldicarb, being useful for this purpose in the forensic veterinary toxicology
