From the Paper
"As digital data is easily destroyed, the main concern is to safeguard the integrity of evidence. Simply turning on a computer could cause irreparable harm as particular files have a date/time stamp that updates when the system boots up. The date/time he user last turned on the computer, a potentially, vital bit of information could be lost. (Ibid) Universal training to counter practices that could destroy evidence would help insure that evidence police officers and crime scene investigators collect will make it to court."

From the Paper
"The television program Crime Scene Investigation aired on cable television on May 10, 2005 (Bruckheimer, 2005). The episode that was presented depicted several scenarios within the plot. These stories included a man who supposedly shot his brother-n-law in self-defense, a little girl who was raped, a woman whose husband was murdered, and a prostitution ring that was drugging their clients (Bruckheimer, 2005). Interwoven within these stories are the consistent elements of the recurring character's lives, both on the job and in relation to personal issues (Bruckheimer, 2005). For example, the character of Catherine Willows, (portrayed by Marg Helgenberger) arrives at the CSI building and kisses her daughter good-bye late at night."

"Crime Scene Investigation
Crime scenes contain the forensic evidence required to apprehend dangerous criminals. The proper collection and processing of physical evidence is of primary importance to most police investigations. Evidence can not only establish the fact of the offense and identify the perpetrator, it may even lead to a conviction. Unfortunately though, poorly conducted crime scene investigations can somet
imes either destroy evidence or render it useless.
The primary responsibilities of the initial responder to a crime include the following: (1) to preserve life; and (2) to control suspects and witnesses. Once these two objectives have been achieved, the initial responder should focus their attention on protecting the crime scene. The importance of preserving the ..."

From the Paper
"Other methods such as ninhydrin coloring and luminescence detection suing DFO reagent are more sensitive and hence effective even with lesser traces of the substrate (range of 100 to 200ng and 1 to 10ng respectively) In some cases after initial treatment with ninhydrin, zinc and cadmium salt treatment can be used to enhance luminescence. Physical development can be used separately or in addition to DFO treatment. This process is similar to the common photographic development process using silver nitrate solution. (Dr Chris Lennard (2001)). Arches, whorls, loops and composites are the four different patterns under which fingerprints are classified. Earlier, comparing fingerprints used to be manual and time consuming. Today, however computers can match a persons fingerprint with more than a million fingerprints stored in its database in a few seconds. This is possible because the FBI and the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) use automated fingerprint identification systems using the standardised fingerprint classification system called the FPC. The computer generates a geometric graph based on the positions of the ridge endings and the ridge branching. Experts then compare closely matching results from the computer search for exact identification. (Courtroom Television Network)."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed discussion about the forensic sciences when it comes to the process and philosophy regarding archaeology and crime scene investigations. The writer examines terms and processes to answer questions about criminal investigation from an archaeological point of view.
From the Paper
"Turn on the television on any night around the nation and one can find a crime show. We are inundated with crime shows, real time shows and law and order shows. Each show has a victim, suspects, a search scene and then the trial all wrapped up in a neat little time frame. If we watch closely we often see elements of the forensic science in action but mostly its pan shots, evidence found and bagged then on to the next scene. In real life however the discovery and search of a crime scene is much more involved. There are laws that must be followed and procedures that are handled with care to insure the scene nor the evidence becomes tainted or destroyed."

From the Paper
"Aviation accident and incidents are extremely painful and expensive for the aviation industry. This is why the aviation industry has investigative engineers who hold the responsibility of investigating accidents by reviewing and identifying the primary cause of the accident, whether it was related to aircraft performance such as, aerodynamics, engines, electrics, hydraulics, or if it was environmental or simply human error.
Investigating aircraft accidents can be extremely complex, sometimes taking many months to figure out the cause of the whole accident. So for the purpose of this task, there are engineers who often collaborate to work in teams in conducting the investigations. Primarily they are solely responsible licensed Professional Engineers, hired by the FAA Air Transport."

The O.J. Simpson Investigation, 2002.
Examines factors surrounding the mishandling of the O.J. Simpson investigation by the L.A.P.D.

Abstract
In June 1994, football legend O.J. Simpson was charged with the double murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her acquaintance, Ron Goldman. Despite vast amounts of evidence linking Simpson to the crime scene he was ultimately acquitted, at least in part, because of police negligence in handling the investigation. This paper traces the events surrounding the murders and subsequent investigation to show how the L.A.P.D. failed to provide key evidence and allowed doubts to arise over the credibility of physical evidence it had gathered.

Abstract
This paper reviews the famous criminal investigation of the murder of a 6 year old girl in America, on Christmas Eve, 1996. The writer uses the book by Steve Thomas called "JonBenet: Inside the Murder Investigation" which provides an in-depth look at the murder and the investigation. The incident became a national obsession, featured day after day on network news, television tabloid programs, talk radio, newspapers and magazines.
Contents:
Introduction
Facts of the Case
Prosecution Evidence
Defense Evidence
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The book gives a thorough account of the murder and investigation. Thomas develops the argument from the outset and presents it clearly in the book with examples of the effective techniques of the investigation and how to approach a complex case like JonBenet?s. According to him investigations must be carried out before evidence are mishandled or removed as in the case of JonBenet. A delay in investigation often tends to mislead investigative directions, creates difficulty in gathering evidence and creates a loss in the credibility of the testimonies. For example in the JonBenet case, the lack of cooperation on part of John and Patsy Ramsey, the parents of the murdered child compounded the difficulties. The police began treating the parents as the primary suspects."

"The Investigation", 2005.
An analysis of the play "The Investigation" by Peter Weiss.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 7 sources, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how "The Investigation" is Weiss' dramatic version of the Frankfurt Auschwitz trials held from 1963 to 1965, which he attended. The paper details how he used the actual testimony of survivors from Auschwitz to transform the literal truth of the witnesses' testimonies into the imagined truth of Auschwitz. The paper explains how the rationale for this is to permit the spectator to enter into the landscape of Auschwitz.
From the Paper
""Auschwitz was a web of concentration camps and sub-camps [with] installations of torture, pseudo-medical experimentation and execution, but most of its inmates were exploited as slaves" (Luke 32). Physical survival was difficult, let alone resistance."
