Border Check and Security from the Perspective of Travel Document Forgery Before and Following Schengen 1

Magyar Rendészet, 2019

The components of border check have a significant impact on the safety of a country or a region. The composition of border traffic by nationality and the security of travel documents from a travel document protection point of view, basically, determine the risk classification/insecurity of a particular border crossing point. Those travel documents which have lower travel document protection become subject to official document forgery in greater numbers. The detection of these illegal acts depends on the preparedness of the person carrying out the control which also means that this person is the key to success.

THE ROLE AND IMPORTANCE OF BORDER POLICE IN DETECTING FORGED DOCUMENTS

Nauka i društvo, 2021

The production and use of forged documents are incriminated by the Criminal Code of the Republic of Serbia as a tort that endangers legal instruments. The use of a forged travel document is the most sophisticated way of illegally crossing the state border, because it requires the application of a high level of technology, and thus significant financial investments. Exactly this fact is important when profiling controlled persons at the border crossing. Taking into consideration that these crimes usually go hand in hand with others, which by their nature have an international character as well, and above all the smuggling of people and vehicles, and as the most serious trafficking in human beings, reinforces the success importance of this segment in the overall border police activities. The efficiency of police officers at border crossings is equally conditioned by their technical equipment and training. According to criminal-law and criminalistic aspects of a problem presented here, the aim of this paper is to point out the role and importance of the border police in combating this and other crimes related to the drafting and use of forged documents, and accordingly, the need for special equipment and particular specialist training of police officers at the border crossing in order to successfully respond to complexed challenges in everyday work.

Insights on identity documents based on the Belgian case study

Information Security Technical Report, 2008

Efficient eGovernment and eCommerce require the ability to authenticate citizens and transactions online, whereas the increasing mobility of citizens demands reliable identification. Identity documents tend to become the most popular form of identity tokens used for these purposes. An important problem, however, is that they can easily be passed on or used by a fraudster. We discuss the use of identity documents and the problem of linking these documents with their genuine holder. We discuss ePassports and eID cards in general using the Belgian identity documents as a reference.

The paperwork presents the results of the examination of the paper support from travel documents, by analysing the composition of the biodata page, which where differently falsified. For this purpose, the computer analyzed the composition of the tab, which is usually through various kinds counterfeit. By taking very small fragments of these pages, we can get useful information about the methods and techniques used by counterfeiters. The comparative analysis highlights the forgeries and certain connections with the original document. Therefore, there were obtained some data on their scientific investigation and highlighted the method used by forgeries.

Filippov S. Criminological Significance of Biometrics Technology in the Context of Combating Cross-Border Crimes. European Science.2018. № 6.P.59-64

Filippov, S. Criminological Significance of Biometrics Technology in the Context of Combating Cross-Border Crimes, 2018

Special issue of "Journal of the National Prosecution Academy of Ukraine" 4/1(57)'2018 43 European Science Analysis of recent research and publications. Anticriminal signi cance of biometric technology is a relatively new area of research for criminology. At the same time, in the related sciences, this topic has long been of interest to scientists. In particular, at the level of the thesis of L. TalIanchuk, a study of the criminalistic aspects of the problem was conducted [1]. International standards for the security of documents with biometric data are considered in the works of A. Vollevodza [2]. In the criminological policy in the  eld of cross-border relations, the strategy of reducing the possibility of committing a crime is of particular importance. In this regard, criminology cultivates the idea that a crime is the result of the realization of the possibility underlying the theory of rational choice and standard activity, which was developed by the American criminologist M. Felson and developed by his followers (R. Lambert etc.). One of the conclusions of the theory is that the proliferation of technologies aimed at minimizing opportunities for the commission of crimes entails a decrease in the level of crime [3; 4]. The opportunity is considered as the cause of the crime. Abstract. Border security system eff ectiveness is largely in uenced by creation of the conditions under which the use of documents for committing cross-border crimes is impossible or provides for termination thereof. Implementation of biometric technologies in the sphere of documents production allows not only to increase the level of their protection, but also provides the tools necessary for identi cation of such a set of personal data, which eliminates any possible errors. In turn, this greatly enhances the opportunities for both crime prevention and termination of certain criminal acts.

Problems of Verifying the Authenticity of Asylum Seekers' Documents and Improving the Identification of These Persons

BORDER SECURITY AND MANAGEMENT, 2020

The Republic of Latvia must be ready to implement the asylum procedure quickly and efficiently, improving the identification process, as the influx of asylum seekers into the EU may recur. The aim of the research is to study the asylum seekers identification procedure, the factors affecting it, and the possibilities for improving this procedure, to determine nature of the authentication process of documents presented by asylum seekers, to identify authentication problems and to find possible solutions. As a result of the research, the authors have evaluated the process of asylum seekers identification and developed proposals for its improvement, described the factors affecting the authentication of asylum seekers' documents and evaluated the possibilities to exclude these factors. The method of scientific induction, graphical method, document analysis, monographic or descriptive method are used in the research.

Biometric data in documents Biztonsagpolitika 2013

Biometric data in documents One of the highlighted missions of the European Union is to assure the establishment of the area of freedom, security and justice for the app. 500 million inhabitants residing in twenty eight Member States. For the citizens of the EU the highest priority is the security, what is constantly threatened and " harassed " by – among others – the terrorism, organized crime, drug trafficking, human-trafficking, and the illegal migration as well. One of the leading challenges of the EU, what has to face with is not else than the illegal migration. All the immense efforts taken as well as twenty years of fight against illegal are so far in vain. Those people, who are starving from day to day, fighting for their own survival and living in the deepest poverty, they will not give up, and in the hope for a better life (meaning for them is that they have " only " food for every day and they do not have to see the suffer of their children) they take the road to the unknown, of what it was heard that it is a good place to live. To sustain the security and assure the possibility of free movement it is essential to state and determine the identity both of the EU and third country nationals without doubts. The free movement and stay inside the Schengen area result a new type of challenge, as beside those who entered and stayed illegally, it is essentially to filter out those who entered legally but their staying become illegal. The security requires identifying everybody both at the external borders and inside of the Schengen Area. The question is only that what kind of methods, what kind of controlling mechanisms could reach the security in such a way that the right for free movement of the EU citizens will not be restricted and to respect the personal rights in the meantime. The answer for the method could be the biometrics, what could be defined in the best way like quantifiable physiological and behavioural features, of which measures are suitable to identify an individual person. Consequently the biometrics use those features or capabilities of the human being for identification, what is unique and can be handled by technical equipment. During the biometrical identification these human features can serve for the person identification.
