A Guide To Help Understand The Form & Construction Of International Names

Identification of suspects, victims, and witnesses is critical to effective law enforcement as well as for helping victims or potential victims identify criminals.

Police officers and victims often interact with persons of international origin or background, whether nationals or immigrants (legal or illegal). Additionally, they may be interacting with criminals impersonating persons of other nationalities.

America is the land of immigrants, and many jurisdictions contain communities populated with persons from around the world. But online it is a different story, since the internet is the World!

Police, Victims, and the public often contend with organized crime organizations from Russia, Mexico, West Africa & the Middle East, and Asia, among many other locations, and proper identification of these and other international groups is imperative. However, when criminals use aliases to impersonate others there are a confusing array of fake names.

A name can be a source of information about that person, including his/her gender, heritage/race, country of origin, marital status, social status, occupation, and religion. The listed order and significance of names vary by country, region, religion, and other factors. Paying close attention to the various international naming conventions will be beneficial in understanding something about the person, such as their region of origin, but it may also help you spot a fake name by its improper structure. Being able to understand the order and significance of international names alone can provide information, regardless of possible language barriers that may exist. Also, many times online criminals have associates – understanding the origin of their names (regardless of where they say they are from) can help you spot inconsistencies in the storylines!

This guide on international naming conventions is designed for law enforcement but can be used by victims and the public alike to better understand how names from various countries are formed and what information can be obtained from these names. The guide is generalized; naming conventions can vary by regional and familial practices. If you are unsure whether a person switched his/her naming order, you can type the given and/or family name into a search engine (Google.com or Yahoo.com for example) for assistance in determining the order listed.

Good hunting!

IN MANY SCARS ARTICLES, WE MENTION TOPICS INCLUDING TRAUMATrauma Emotional and psychological trauma is the result of extraordinarily stressful events that shatter your sense of security, making you feel helpless in a dangerous world. Psychological trauma can leave you struggling with upsetting emotions, memories, and anxiety that won’t go away. It can also leave you feeling numb, disconnected, and unable to trust other people. Traumatic experiences often involve a threat to life or safety or other emotional shocks, but any situation that leaves you feeling overwhelmed and isolated can result in trauma, even if it doesn’t involve physical harm. It’s not the objective circumstances that determine whether an event is traumatic, but your subjective emotional experience of the event. The more frightened and helpless you feel, the more likely you are to be traumatized. Trauma requires treatment, either through counseling or therapy or through trauma-oriented support programs, such as those offered by SCARS., ABUSE, SELF-HARM, SUICIDALITY, RISKY BEHAVIORBehavior Behavior / Behavioral Actions Otherwise known as habits, behavior or behavioral actions are strategies to help prevent online exploitation that target behavior, such as social engineering of victims.
