Abstract
This paper explains the various techniques used by aircraft accident investigating teams today. The writer explains the technical terms for the layman, which include accident scene photography, metallurgy, fluid analysis of fuels and oils, fire investigation in flight or on the ground occurrence, human factors, flight deck design, appropriate degree of automation, automatic overwing exit, human forensics and pathology, and flight data recorders.
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."

Abstract
This paper is a review of the television series "Crime Scene Investigation". It discusses the intricate plot of the show, the episode that aired, the characters, the scenery, the forensics within the episode, and the paths to investigation. It further discusses the interwoven plots of the investigator's lives and the issues that the investigators contend with at work.
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."

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."

"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 first step in a forensic computer analysis is to interview the investigators and the victims of a particular investigation. Interviews with the investigators and the victims help the analyst to gain a deeper understanding of the incident, learn about the results of investigation, about the views and concerns of the victims and the true nature of the incident. In addition to this, the analyst should also gather information about the information system or the computer involved in the incident, the suspects and the most probable lawsuit to be filed. Although, interviews are a preliminary step and often do not require too much allocation of time but they are the most important aspect of an investigation because they form the basis for the overall investigation."

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.

From the Paper
"With the advent of information technology, organizations have developed effective systems and methods for information management in order to improve their overall performance and productivity. Considering the highly competitive market environment, organizations realize the fact that information is an extremely important asset and availability of timely and useful information is essential for an organization's long term survival and growth. However, it should also be noted that this information should be kept confidential. Security of information is a growing concern among organizations because transfer of company's private information to its competitors or any other outer source can lead to serious losses and can even brings its survival at stake. It should also be noted that majority of the end users of a computer information system are not fully aware of the complexities of the system. Therefore, an inexpert user of the information system can damage the system by deleting important files or by unintentionally or intentionally crashing the computer. (Vacca & Erbschloe)"

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."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Justice Department, the Senate and the Securities and Exchange Commission conducted investigations into Merrill Lynch's participation in deals to help mask the true financial condition of Enron; Merrill Lynch denied any wrong-doing and said that its dealings with Enron were proper and legal. The author points out that an allegation against Merrill Lynch was the purchase of three barges from Enron; investigators claimed that Merrill Lynch did not buy these barges as a legitimate investment but purchased them to secure future business from Enron. The paper reports that Merrill Lynch said that it is not unusual for employees of brokerage firms to invest in companies that they do business with and that other large brokerage houses have made similar investments.

Departure of Analyst
Other Dealings
From the Paper
"The second allegation concerning Merrill Lynch's dealings with Enron concerns the sudden departure of analyst John Olson from the brokerage firm in August, 1998. Mr. Olson was the Merrill Lynch analyst who followed Enron. In 1997, he had downgraded Enron stock to a "neutral" rating. Documents from Merrill Lynch indicate that Andrew Fastow, then Chief Financial Officer for Enron, told Merrill Lynch executives that he was unhappy with Merrill Lynch's poor rating for Enron stock and that as a result, Merrill Lynch would not be allowed to participate in a lucrative Enron stock offering. Sources close to the investigation say that Mr. Olson was then forced to resign. Merrill Lynch denies this charge, and Mr. Olson, now working for another firm, declined to comment."

Abstract
This paper outlines many problems within the FBI such as withholding pertinent information that may have prevented the September 11 attacks. The author points out that these problems are not new. The paper discusses the new corrective program introduced by the FBI head, Robert Mueller, that needs to be enforced and accepted by the FBI culture.
From the Paper
"Another problem that has haunted the FBI in recent months is the discovery that veteran agent Robert Hanssen was a Russian spy for twenty-five years. The FBI was scrutinized because they did not possess a serious attitude regarding internal security issues, and the lack of a cohesive management structure indicates that departments were not aware of each other?s activities. In response to the Hanssen scandal, Congress approved the creation of a new position within the Justice Department to oversee the activities of the FBI."

Abstract
This paper examines the investigation following the September 11, 2001 attacks with a focus on the "The 9/11 Commission Report: Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States ". The paper looks at the how report was released without the mention of hundreds of eyewitness accounts that report seeing explosives bring the buildings down. The paper also contends that most of the facts regarding structural damage actually contradict the laws of physics. The paper concludes that the American people, as well as everyone around the world, have been lied to by the United States Government and that any sensible investigation would not make a "final" report without taking into account all of the evidence and the thousands of irregularities.
From the Paper
"The 9/11 Commission was an independent and bipartisan panel of members created to investigate the 9/11 attacks (9/11 Commission Report). A closer look reveals the links many of the commission members have with George W. Bush and companies and organizations directly involved with the attacks. The panel was composed of five Democrats and five Republicans. All members had government backgrounds as
governors, representatives, senators, or attorneys (9/11 Commission Report). Commission Executive Director Philip D. Zelikow, who oversaw the commission, has very close ties with the Bush family, Condleezza Rice, and other prominent officials in Washington D.C.; the public has called for his resignation several times without success (9/11 Commission Report). Most investigations have different members with different areas of expertise and knowledge to help aid in the findings. The "independent" 9/11 Commission doesn't seem to be as such."

Investigation of the Canadian Debate Around Free Trade, 2002.

Abstract
This is an investigation of the attitudes and debates surrounding free trade with the United States on the Canadian side of the border during the period of 1985 to 2000. The author examines the reasons for free trade and the events that led up to the entry into agreements as well as the hopes, fears and results of free trade between the two countries with focus on Canadian fears.
From the Paper
"There are 8,893km of virtually unprotected border between Canada and the United States; the longest in the world. With over 100 years of peaceful coexistence and general friendship, it is also one of the world?s most peaceful borders. It comes as no surprise then that the cultures and histories of both countries are so intertwined or, to take the more cynical view ? that Canada?s culture and history are disproportionately intertwined with that of the United States. Whatever position taken, the phenomena exists and as a result of this closeness have arisen more practical issues ? such as concerns dealing with the environment, mutual defense and trade."

The Difficulties in Archaeological Investigation, 2006.
This paper examines archaeological methods for identifying sites of imperial control in the ancient world.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In "Dimensions of Imperial Control: The Vijayanagara Capital," Carla Sinopoli and Kathleen Morrison confront this difficulty in archaeological investigation, attempting a more cautious and evidence-based analysis of the sites of power in and around the capital city of the Vijayanagara empire. They begin their assessment, rightly, with a basic ideological assumption about the nature of archaeology of ancient empires: overarching models that describe imperial control and loci of power that are relatively useless.
From the Paper
"Archaeology can be a frustrating discipline. The scholars who form the ranks of the world's archaeological institutions spend lifetimes sifting through scant clues to reconstruct the intimate details of civilizations long gone. Mistakes are easily made. Evidence is easily misinterpreted. It takes years of pointed training to develop the practical and intellectual skills to draw some meaningful conclusions regarding the characteristics of the ancient world. It's somewhat akin to trying to solve a murder mystery with only the briefest of clues that happened thousands of years prior. (In fact, Bob Brier--a famous Egyptologist--did just that, working to solve what he concluded was the murder of Tutankhamen)."

"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 ..."
