Episode 65: Harm Reduction in the context of Forensic Nursing

DJ Forensics created a promo mix to push his sound ahead of his gig on July 26 in Toronto at Toronto DnB Cypher's MC Convention. He goes in hard on this, truss!

There is an international “gold standard” for investigating suspicious deaths — it’s called the Minnesota Protocol.

Adopted by the United Nations in 1989 and 1991, the Minnesota Protocol outlines best practice for death investigations, particularly when government agents may have done the killing or neglected the duty to investigate.

Forensic investigators have used the Minnesota Protocol to exhume mass graves in Peru (pictured), identify the remains of anti-apartheid activists who disappeared in South Africa, and convict General Efraín Ríos Montt of genocide in Guatemala. 

Today the protocol is being translated into Ukrainian for use by forensic specialists, at the urging of the United Nations’ Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions. The Special Rapporteur is promoting global implementation of the protocol to address human rights violations.

Minnesota lawyers and medical examiners volunteered to draft the protocol in partnership with international experts in the 1980s. The pro bono lawyers’ committee went on to become The Advocates for Human Rights, which relies on more than 800 volunteers. 

A new Human Rights Archive at the University of Minnesota highlights the state’s contributions to the human rights movement and preserves early drafts of the Minnesota Protocol.

KFAI's Michelle Bruch shares the surprising story of the international protocol that carries Minnesota’s name.

Horizon Unfolding Ambient Electronic

In this Bell Work Talk, Nancy Blaney and Claire Coughlin of the Animal Welfare Institute will discuss the connection between human and animal welfare and implications for the practice of Forensic Nursing. By incorporating questions about animals into their work, practitioners can identify people and pets at risk, positively impact service engagement, and make the most of available resources.

Claire Coughlin: Claire Coughlin (she/her) has a master’s degree in human development and family studies and extensive experience in both social services and animal advocacy. For over a decade, she specialized in evidence-based education and support services for children and families impacted by abuse and neglect. She now serves as the director of the Companion Animals Program for the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) and oversees AWI’s work on the link between animal maltreatment and human violence, including the Safe Havens for Pets program which supports domestic violence survivors with pets.

Nancy Blaney has advocated on behalf of animals for more than 40 years and is currently Director of Government Affairs at the Animal Welfare Institute. She works with federal and state legislators and regulators, the law enforcement community, veterinarians, and other stakeholder groups to improve animal welfare, the prosecution of animal cruelty crimes, and public awareness of the relationship between animal abuse and other forms of violence, particularly all forms of family violence. Nancy serves on a variety of advisory bodies and has co-authored several articles and chapters.

Cena de crime

In this Bell Work Talk, Dr. Jamie Lewis Saye discusses her team’s pilot study comparing blind swab and speculum-assisted evidence collection during sexual assault forensic medical examinations. She highlights how both methods yield similar rates of Y-screen positivity and CODIS-eligible DNA profiles, underscoring the potential of less invasive approaches to improve survivor participation in evidence collection while maintaining forensic integrity.

Dr. Jamie Lewis Saye, DNP, CNM, APRN, SANE-A, is an Assistant Professor in the Wellstar School of Nursing at Kennesaw State University and Clinical Director of the SAFE Center. A certified nurse-midwife and experienced Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, Dr. Saye brings over a decade of experience in forensic nursing, trauma-informed care, and interdisciplinary community-academic collaboration.

Her research focuses on strengthening forensic evidence collection practices, advancing survivor-centered policies, and improving health and legal outcomes for victims of violence. Dr. Saye recently led a multi-site pilot study across 13 sexual assault centers in the Southeastern U.S. that compared blind swab and speculum-assisted vaginal/cervical specimen collection methods. These findings inform both clinical training and policy, supporting survivor-centered and trauma-informed approaches in forensic nursing practice.

Since childhood, my passion for sound was sparked by legends like The Beatles and Pink Floyd, thanks to my father and the magic of discovery online. During my teenage years, music and parties became inseparable from who I was.
Eventually, I found my true calling in electronic music.

Traveling through Berlin, Amsterdam, and Eastern Europe deepened my love for the genre. I now bring together melody and innovation to create immersive sonic journeys in House, Techno, Indie and Trance.

Welcome to the journey.
