Description
Forensic science has kept pace with advances in information technology. Such databases as VICAP (the FBI's Violent Criminal Apprehension Program), HITS (a database with over 80,000 murder cases for profiling use), and AFIS (Advanced Fingerprint Identification System) have made investigations faster and results more definite. As the founder of Zeno's Forensic Web Site, the author combines his international reputation with solid experience in all areas of forensic informatics to explain currently used databases. The topics include the use of Internet for research and investigation, challenges of digital imaging and data manipulation, and available software for courtroom presentations.
