Forensic Linguistics - Science topic

So one day I will send out a research paper on forensic linguistics for a review. Though I will have made it anonymous, yet the paper finds itself into the hands of a forensic linguist who is my friend, and he will immediately realize the paper has been written by me.

So, we now need to rethink how blind is a double blind peer review given the knowledge and expertise of a forensic linguist reviewer. Already, is it not the task of a forensic linguist to identify the blind or anonymous texts/sounds?

I am trying to figure out whether language can help in avoiding the frauds in online shopping particularly in Pakistan, It has become a common practice in Pakistan that the sellers are doing frauds by not sending the ordered stuff rather they send low quality or used stuff and then block the buyer.I am trying to analyse the language of these sellers that they use in ads. or in communication with the buyer , whether it shows any similarity or any particular pattern. That might help people to understand not to buy from such sellers. My query is that, is my work relevant to forensic linguists in any way? if yes, which method of analysis should i acquire for my research?

I think translanguaging style/patterns can vary based on an individual's communicative goals, repertoire, education, and sociolinguistic context. Exploring these patterns can be helpful to the field of forensic linguistics.

I want to measure how easy/difficult a legal translated text is to a defendant whose only medium of reception of the text is the auditory channel. I am familiar with the Flesch readability formula but I was wondering if there are better ways to do it?

I am interested in knowing how lawyers use their knowledge of language to find different interpretations of texts in police records.
