Extractions: Background Requirements for the Minor in Forensic Science Required Courses in the Forensic Science Minor Forensic science is the application of the scientific method to the investigation of the violation of criminal and civil laws and to the apprehension and prosecution of violators. Forensic science is based on the guiding principle that when two objects come into contact, there is a transfer of trace evidence. This transfer may lead to the identification of the people or objects involved in a crime as well as a description of what occurred during its commission. Forensic science has involved almost every known scientific discipline and art. The Department of Criminal Justice has offered a sequence of courses in the field of forensic science for many years. Students majoring in criminal justice and other majors have taken these courses as electives and have expressed interest in the department offering a formal minor in the area. Crime Scene: An understanding of forensic science allows for the recognition and interpretation of evidence at the scene. This will help in the preservation and collection of valuable evidence and give the investigator forensic leads before leaving the scene.

Extractions: AJ100 INTRODUCTION TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE 3 Is an introduction to the philosophy, development and history of the American Criminal Justice System. It identifies the segments of which the criminal justice system is made up of: law enforcement, prosecution, the courts and corrections. It introduces the criminal justice system's role as it relates to the individual and to society. AJ101 LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS AND PROCEDURES 3 Is an introduction to law enforcement operations and procedures including police organization and administration. It emphasizes the police role in society and operational procedures including deployment of personnel, arrest procedures, crime scene techniques, and other basic police tactics. AJ103 CONCEPTS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT 3 Is designed to introduce the student to the specific area of law enforcement within the criminal justice system. The course intent is to define the fundamentals and foundations of law enforcement work; the role of police in society; the problems with which those who work in law enforcement; and the organization and scope of law enforcement agencies. The primary focus will be that of the local law enforcement agency.
Extractions: There have been enormous strides made in both the scientific community and in methods of investigation over the past several years. Combining state of the art investigative tools, along with sound scientific facts, will establish a professional and truth seeking investigation. In most municipalities the local fire department conducts their own fire investigation, while the local police agency conducts an associated investigation. If the barriers between both agencies are broken down and a healthy communication exists, along with respect for each departments' fields of expertise, an enormous professional breakthrough can occur. The responsibility of the crime scene technician is evidence recovery and preservation. The technician has the task of going to a crime scene to identify, process, collect and preserve all evidence related to a particular crime. The capabilities of a crime scene technician may be taken for granted or not fully understood by the fire department. This applies to the investigator who is working alone or as a member of a task force. This problem can be reduced when you have a crime scene technician who is also an arson investigator. Not only are you working with a police office who understands fire behavior, but also the capabilities of the fire department in their suppression methods. A police officer can be a great asset because he is aware of neighborhood patterns, vehicles and other associated demographics. Police officers work with people on a daily basis and are acquainted with known criminals and become aware of the mentality of the criminal thus knowing the attributes of the arsonists.

Abusive Trust Schemes There are several methods used to get the funds back to Card One of the most popular methods in recent IRS criminal investigation has a presence on www.irs.gov http://www.ustreas.gov/irs/ci/tax_fraud/docabusivetrustschemes.htm
Extractions: (formerly Abusive Trust Schemes) Since the mid-1990s, the IRS has witnessed a proliferation of abusive tax schemes, particularly those with offshore components. Originally those schemes took the structure of abusive domestic and foreign trust arrangements. However, abusive schemes are evolving into sophisticated arrangements that take advantage of the financial secrecy laws of some foreign jurisdictions and the availability of credit/debit cards issued from offshore financial institutions. IRS Criminal Investigation (CI) has developed a nationally coordinated program to combat these abusive tax schemes. CI's primary focus is on the identification and investigation of the tax scheme promoters as well as those who play a substantial or integral role in facilitating, aiding, assisting, or furthering the abusive tax scheme (e.g., accountants, lawyers). Secondarily, but equally important, is the investigation of investors who knowingly participate in abusive tax schemes.

Extractions: The BCCLA recognizes and supports the aim of amending the Criminal Code and the Identification of Criminals Act to allow law enforcement authorities to obtain a warrant to collect DNA samples from suspects in serious crimes, to demand DNA from those arrested for serious crimes, and to bank DNA information for legitimate law enforcement purposes. Framing policies and procedures to institute these practices and to identify their limits is a matter of some urgency, both because of the potential value of DNA printing as a law enforcement tool and because of the civil liberties issues that these practices raise. This brief is an attempt to put these issues in perspective and to make recommendations for policy that will put law enforcement and civil liberties interests in balance. DNA samples are now most frequently analyzed in North America by a technique called restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). For each sample, a DNA sequence from the same chromosomal region is cut, and a stain or picture of it is produced, which is called an autoradiograph. Autoradiographs look like bar codes. These are visually compared to discover if the patterns of DNA are identical. This process is typically repeated four other times for different chromosomal regions of the DNA molecule. If the DNA patterns for each of the five chromosomal regions are identical, a match has been found. The confidence that the two samples have been correctly matched (that they came from the same person) depends on the quality of the samples and the stringency with which the tests were applied. If there is a discrepancy in any of the five samples, the tissue samples did not come from the same person.

Journalists of tehelka.com, posing themselves as arms dealers, secretly videotaped Defence Ministry and Army officials accepting money from them. The journalists distributed gold chains and cash to these officials to show that fixing sensitive deals in the Defence Ministry was as easy as that. The bottom line was that political corruption was rampant in India. Justice K. Venkataswami (right) at the Vigyan Bhavan. What complicated matters then was the fact that Tehelka used professional sex workers to deal with three Army officers and secretly videotaped the acts. Tehelka Expose part II has gone beyond discussions on substantiative findings to the ethics of the methods used. The question is no longer confined to ascertaining who occupies the high moral ground - Tehelka or the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government. It is also about finding answers or unravelling the legal guidelines to confirm if criminal action can be taken against Tehelka and its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Editor, Tarun Tejpal. The debate has spilled over to questions of journalistic ethics. Does the end justify the means in this case?

Extractions: Volume 18 Number 1 Wrongful Conviction: Causes and Public Policy Issues By C. Ronald Huff C. Ronald Huff, Ph.D., is dean of the School of Social Ecology and professor in the Department of Criminology, Law and Society at the University of California, Irvine. He is a fellow and past-president (20002001) of The American Society of Criminology. Much has been made of recent cases in which innocent defendants have been released from long jail terms thanks to DNA evidence. Yet the biological evidence upon which DNA tests are performed is not available in most cases, making proof of innocence much more challenging. Despite our justice systems elaborate criminal procedurethe presumption of innocence, the requirement of proof "beyond a reasonable doubt"it is likely that thousands of innocent persons are convicted of serious crimes each year, with many subsequently deprived of their liberty for years before the error is uncoveredif ever. How extensive is this problem? What are its principal causes? Does the frequency of error vary across jurisdictions within one nation, such as the United States? Does the frequency of error vary across nations? If so, how much is that variation attributable to differences in types of justice systems (e.g., adversarial versus inquisitorial/continental)? How much variance is attributable to cultural differences, such as differing levels of tolerance for social injustice? Do societies vary in their tolerance for the conviction of the innocent as opposed to the acquittal of the guilty? Are such errors the inevitable cost of operating a system of criminal justice? What can be done to prevent or reduce wrongful conviction? How should we compensate the innocent persons who are convicted and, in many cases, incarcerated?

Extractions: FROM SHERLOCK HOLMES TO MODERN FORENSIC SCIENCE Course Description Instructor Course Description In an article on forensic science in Chemistry in Britain the editor stated, "The most tangible way in which science, especially chemistry, can be concerned with the well-being of society is its use in the maintenance of the fabric of society as expressed in the constant vigil against crime." While this may be an overstatement, it is true that science has had an enormous impact on the definition and enforcement of the laws enacted to regulate society. Specifically, forensic science is the application of scientific principles to criminal and civil laws within a criminal justice system with the goal toward the establishment of guilt or innocence. This course was designed to introduce some of the specialized fields of forensic science, to learn the fundamental principles of science and technology upon which they are based, and to apply them to a number of suspicious situations and criminal cases. We will explore aspects of forensic science involving the examination of physical, chemical, and biological items of evidence. The forensic analysis of substances such as glass, soil, hair, ink, bullets, gunpowder and drugs will be understood after an introduction to the concepts of basic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and organic chemistry. The methods used for the analysis for alcohol, carbon monoxide, and drugs and for the characterization of blood and other body fluids will be discussed in the context of the principles of biochemistry, toxicology, pharmacology, and serology.

Extractions: Computer Crime Investigation and Computer Forensics Thomas Welch Incidents of computer-related crime and telecommunications fraud have increased dramatically over the past decade. However, because of the esoteric nature of this crime, there have been very few prosecutions and even fewer convictions. The new technology that has allowed for the advancement and automation of many business processes has also opened the door to many new forms of computer abuse. Although some of these system attacks merely use contemporary methods to commit older, more familiar types of crime, others involve the use of completely new forms of criminal activity that evolved along with the technology. Computer crime investigation and computer forensics are also evolving sciences that are affected by many external factors, such as continued advancements in technology, societal issues, and legal issues. Many gray areas need to be sorted out and tested through the courts. Until then, the system attackers will have an advantage, and computer abuse will continue to increase. Computer security practitioners must be aware of the myriad technological and legal issues that affect systems and users, including issues dealing with investigations and enforcement. This chapter covers each area of computer crime investigation and computer forensics. COMPUTER CRIME DEFINED According to the American Heritage Dictionary

Extractions: In accordance with federal law, EPA has issued a final rule that adjusts the maximum amount of civil monetary penalties that can be imposed under the environmental statutes EPA implements. All federal agencies are required to issue, at least once every four years, regulations adjusting for inflation the maximum civil monetary penalties that can be imposed pursuant to each agency's statutes. The purpose of these adjustments is to maintain the deterrent effect of civil monetary penalties and to promote compliance with the law. Effective 30 days after publication in the Federal Register, the new rule increases the existing statutory maximum penalties by 17.23 percent, representing inflation increases that occurred from 1996-2003. The first adjustment occurred in 1996. The new rule was delayed to allow for additional public comment on methods used to round penalties, once adjusted for inflation.
