Criminal cases go cold when investigative leads or forensic testing does not lead to a successful arrest. In these cases, investigators are often keen to use novel methods to derive fresh ideas or insights. Recently, academics from a range of fields, including Psychology, Criminology, and Forensic Sciences have developed a range of new methods and tests to assist with police investigations. The current paper outlines a novel approach to assisting with police cold case investigations: Crime Script Sequencing. The new method combines two leading temporal methods, Crime Script Analysis and Behaviour Sequence Analysis. A real-world cold case, the bombing of Canadian Pacific Airlines Fight 21, is presented and analysed using Crime Script Sequencing to offer readers a guide of how to use the method for other investigations. Impacts, insights, and potential future developments of the method are outlined.
当调查线索或法医检验未能促成成功逮捕时，刑事案件就会陷入僵局。在这些情况下，调查人员常常热衷于采用新颖的方法来获取新的思路或见解。最近，包括心理学、犯罪学和法医学在内的一系列领域的学者们开发了一系列新方法和测试手段，以协助警方进行调查。本文概述了一种协助警方冷案调查的新方法：犯罪脚本排序。这种新方法结合了两种主要的时间分析方法，即犯罪脚本分析和行为序列分析。文中呈现并分析了一个真实的冷案——加拿大太平洋航空公司21号航班爆炸案，运用犯罪脚本排序为读者提供如何将该方法用于其他调查的指南。同时还概述了该方法的影响、见解以及未来可能的发展方向。
