Extractions: Outraged by last months grand jury report detailing corruption in the district attorneys office, six senior criminal detectives have retired and another dozen officers are expected to follow them in coming weeks, the Weekly has learned. The Orange County grand jurys 100-page "Office of the District Attorney: An In-Depth Investigation" report accused DA Tony Rackauckas and Don Blankenship, the head of his criminal-investigation division, of cronyism, mismanagement and misuse of public resources. Several prosecutors say they fear the summer fallout will cost the government agency responsible for prosecuting criminals 500 years worth of gumshoe experience. Scheduled to leave office are: Assistant Chief of Investigations Michael Carre; commanders Doug Miller, Lon Erickson and Ron Johnson; and supervisors John Walsh and Mary Ann Hall.

Extractions: Having just started as a Scenes of Crime Officer with Leicestershire Constabulary, in January this year, and successfully completed my 9 week initial training course at NTC, Durham, I find this book a very helpful guide for photographing evidence at crime scenes. This book deals with many different kinds of things I have yet to encounter/experience as I am only now just starting to go out on my own, having been tutored for the past month or so. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to do this type of photography and to those who use photography in the job. This book is a great introduction to the subject of crime scene and evidence photography as the pictures contained therein are excellent and the beginner is not overwhelmed by technical jargon. Although slightly high in price, I feel the book is still worth owning and it is a precious part of my SOCO kit and use the useful information provided when out in the field.

But there's a cutting-edge way to slash Gotham's crime rate by another 15 percent: using DNA evidence left behind by criminals to situate them at the scene of the crime. In England, police have pushed DNA profiling to the forefront of crime fighting, helping to solve tens of thousands of crimes. But here in the United States, efforts to expand DNA testing are lagging, in part because of the relentless, if ill-founded, opposition of the American Civil Liberties Union. It's a shame, because not only does the use of DNA testing in law enforcement promise to put more of the guilty behind bars; it has also worked to free innocent people imprisoned for crimes they didn't commit.

Extractions: This brief report was prepared at the request of the Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet, and Intellectual Property of the House Judiciary Committee. Researchers found that in reviewing complaints of judicial misconduct or disability filed pursuant to statute, chief judges of all but one of the circuits have usually applied Judicial Conference standards that call for a restatement of allegations in the complaint and a reasoned response to such allegations. Researchers also found that 80% of the chief judge dismissal orders cited as a reason for dismissal the close relationship between a complainant's allegations and the merits of a decision by the judge who was the subject of the complaint.

Extractions: I. I NTRODUCTION Crime victims used to be ignored by criminologists. Then, beginning slowly in the 1940s and more rapidly in the 1970s, interest in the victim's role in crime grew. Yet a tendency to treat the victim as either a passive target of another person's wrongdoing or as a virtual accomplice of the criminal limited this interest. The concept of the victim-precipitated homicide[1] highlighted the possibility that victims were not always blameless and passive targets, but that they sometimes initiated or contributed to the escalation of a violent interaction through their own actions, which they often claimed were defensive. Perhaps due to an unduly narrow focus on lower-class male-on-male violence, scholars. have shown little openness to the possibility that a good deal of "defensive" violence by persons claiming the moral status of a victim may be just that. Thus, many scholars routinely assumed that a large share of violent inter-actions are "mutual combat" involving two blameworthy parties who each may be regarded as both offender and victim. The notion that much violence is one-sided and that many victims of violence are largely blameless is dismissed as naive. A few criminologists have rejected the simplistic mutual combat model of violence, though they sometimes limit its rejection to a few special subtypes of violence, especially family violence, rape, and, more generally, violence of men against women and of adults against children.[2] However, the more one looks, the more exceptions become evident, such as felony killings linked with robberies, burglaries, or sexual assaults, contract killings, mass killings, serial murders, and homicides where the violence is one-sided. Indeed, it may be more accurate to see the mutual combat common among lower-class males to be the exception rather than the rule. If this is so, then forceful actions taken by victims are easier to see as genuinely and largely defensive.

Extractions: Los Angeles Times MORINE, Albania - Some crimes alleged to be taking place in Serbia's Kosovo province are horrific: mutilations, parents killed before their children's eyes, a 2-year-old girl burned alive. Then there are the more common, if numbing, acts - nearly half a million people forced from their homes and driven for days in an atmosphere of terror, whole towns and villages set ablaze, possessions looted and cars stolen at gunpoint, wedding rings stripped from women's fingers. Investigating such acts is the meat-and-potato work of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, which has declared the current Kosovo crisis within its jurisdiction. This week, the tribunal launches its investigation into the crimes and terror that have accompanied the expulsion of nearly half a million ethnic Albanians to neighboring countries during the past two weeks. Two international war-crimes investigators began meeting with local prosecutors and refugee officials in northern Albania yesterday, working on procedures to locate and interview witnesses who can help the prosecution in any future war-crimes trials. The investigatory team, one a professional police officer from Australia and the other a veteran of South Africa's post-apartheid Truth and Reconciliation Commission, did not have to look far in their inquiries - from where they stood in this border post, they could easily see a Kosovo village going up in smoke.
Environmental Crimes: Profiting At The Earth's Expense Transit Nations and Illegal crime. The company is now under investigation by Singapore sNational Environment Agency, which would not comment for this article. http://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/members/2004/112-2/focus.html
Extractions: Abstract Environmental crime is a growing problem around the globe. Criminal groups are making billions by trading in environmental contraband, including banned chemicals, certain types of waste, and endangered species of plants and animals. Others profit by dumping hazardous waste in the ocean or in developing countries, sometimes on behalf of companies eschewing high disposal costs at home. Multilateral environmental agreements are currently the sole system for fighting environmental crime, but these treaties lack effective enforcement capacity. Agencies around the world are working to establish protocols, training, and enforcement measures to help curb environmental crime. Imagine for a moment that it's a hot summer day and you're driving; you roll up the windows in your car and turn on the air conditioning. As chilly air flows from the dashboard, you begin to feel comfortably insulated from the sweltering world outside. If your car was built in or before 1995, this soothing relief may be generated by a coolant called CFC-12, one of several chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) implicated in the destruction of the ozone layer, a protective layer miles above the Earth that filters out carcinogenic ultraviolet rays.

Extractions: Neeraj K Singh To a casual passer-by, the Dollar Bar along the Main Highway in Zubin Potok would appear to be the sort of placid countryside pub one would frequent for a quiet release after a hard days work. Then what was the UNMIK Police doing there in such strength on the night of 11th June? They were there to reveal what lay beneath the cloak of apparent serenity a vicious exploitation of young girls illegally smuggled into Kosovo from other East European countries and then forced into prostitution. Three victims of trafficking two Ukrainian and one Moldavian were rescued and repatriated. The Kosovo-Serbian owner of the restaurant is the prime suspect. He may end up in prison or he may evade justice for want of evidence. The point is that no legal system can be the cure for a disease that runs deep in the veins of society. Persons in the Dollar Bar described the suspect as the girls owner, who charged people money for having sex with them. The term owner speaks powerfully of the murky world of flesh trade, where humans are bought by back street peddlers, who then sell them piecemeal every day.
