Undocumented Border Crosser (UBC) deaths in Arizona are a major issue faced by medicolegal authorities. Currently, the Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner (MCOME) is in possession of over two hundred unidentified individuals, more than half of whom are presumed to be UBCs. The primary goal of this study was to address the growing number of UBC deaths in Maricopa County in order to provide a more comprehensive picture of this important anthropological issue within the state of Arizona. Of the 107 total UBC cases evaluated for the study, the majority were male and age estimates for all individuals were between 15 to 60 years old. Modeled after the recording system established by the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner, the biographic and geographic data for these cases were entered into a new UBC database at MCOME and later added to the online Map of Migrant Mortality.
亚利桑那州无证越境者（UBC）死亡事件是法医当局面临的一个重大问题。目前，马里科帕县法医办公室（MCOME）有两百多名身份不明的人员，其中一半以上被推测为无证越境者。本研究的主要目标是解决马里科帕县无证越境者死亡人数不断增加的问题，以便更全面地了解亚利桑那州这一重要的人类学问题。在为该研究评估的107例无证越境者总病例中，大多数为男性，所有个体的年龄估计在15至60岁之间。这些病例的传记和地理数据以皮马县法医办公室建立的记录系统为模型，被录入MCOME的一个新的无证越境者数据库，随后被添加到在线移民死亡地图中。
