TECHNOLOGY IN FORENSIC SCIENCE AND CRIMINOLOGY

Livescan is an inkless fingerprinting process where fingerprints are electronically transmitted to the Department of Justice for background screening.

in 1937, the German forensic scientist Walter Specht made extensive studies of luminol's application to the detection of blood at crime scenes.

COMPUTER AIDED

 The 3D reconstruction of facial features from skeletal remains is a key component to the identification of missing persons and victims of violent crime. A comprehensive Computed Tomography (CT) head-scan database is currently being collected which will enable a new approach to forensic facial reconstruction

DNA genetic fingerprinting for forensic science

DNA profiling (also called DNA testing, DNA typing, or genetic fingerprinting) is a technique employed by forensic scientists to assist in the identification of individuals by their respective DNA profiles. ALEC JEFFREYS / University of Lecister

He is the first person convicted of murder based on DNA fingerprinting evidence, and the first to be caught as a result of mass DNA screening

 The first government database (NDNAD) was set up by the United Kingdom in April 1995. The second one was set up in NewZealand.[3] France set up the FNAEG in 1998. In theUSA, the FBI has organized the CODIS database

CODIS
Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) is the generic term used to describe the FBIs program of support for criminal justice DNA databases as well as the software used to run these databases. The National DNA Index System or NDIS is considered one part of CODIS, the national level, containing the DNA profiles contributed by federal, state, and local participating forensic laboratories.It was developed in 1980s

AUTOMATED BALLISTIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM

Automated Ballistic Identification Systems (ABIS) are specialized computer hardware/software combinations designed to capture, store and rapidly compare digital images of bullets and cartridge casings.

ABIS have four key components: The Ballistic Scanner, which captures the images of the bullets and cartridges The Signature Extraction Unit, which uses a mathematical algorithm to extract unique signatures from the images Data Storage Unit, which serves as the main storage, The Correlation Server, which handles the actual comparison of images.
