Extractions: Unconsolidated Pennsylvania Statutes HEALTH AND SAFETY (Title 35) This act shall be known and may be cited as the DNA Detection of Sexual and Violent Offenders Act. The General Assembly finds and declares that DNA data banks are an important tool in criminal investigations, in the exclusion of individuals who are the subject of criminal investigations or prosecutions, and in deterring and detecting recidivist acts. Several states have enacted laws requiring persons convicted of certain crimes, especially sex offenses, to provide genetic samples for DNA profiling. Moreover, it is the policy of this Commonwealth to assist Federal, State and local criminal justice and law enforcement agencies in the identification and detection of individuals in criminal investigations. It is therefore in the best interest of the Commonwealth to establish a DNA data base and a DNA data bank containing DNA samples submitted by individuals convicted of felony sex offenses and other specified offenses. The following words and phrases when used in this act shall have the meanings given to them in this section unless the context clearly indicates otherwise: "ARD."

Extractions: Study points to overlap' in mandates of police, anticorruption unit Scorpions Legal Affairs Correspondent THERE is an overlap in the functions of the police and anticorruption unit the Scorpions, a new study by the Institute for Security Studies reveals, sparking criticism that it is a waste of resources to have two units fighting organised crime. The overlap has occurred because the Scorpions' mandate is to fight organised crime, while specialised police units have a mandate to investigate the threat of organised crime. One solution, suggests the study, is for both units to change the way they take on cases, by having their mandates and procedures changed. In an analysis of the Directorate of Special Operations as the Scorpions is formally known Jean Redpath, a research specialist in criminal justice, says more than one approach to fighting organised crime is justified. She says there is "more than enough work to go around" for the police and the Scorpions. "This point of view sees the existence of both the Scorpions and the South African Police Services as an important safety net, such that if one entity cannot investigate a matter, the option remains for the other to do so."
Extractions: In the mid-1950s, the German psychologist Udo Undeutsch developed what is now referred to as the Undeutsch Hypothesis: "Statements that are the product of experience will contain characteristics that are generally absent from statements that are the product of imagination." (1) His pioneering work was directed primarily at determining if children's statements were truthful accounts in alleged child abuse investigations. From these early beginnings, statement analysis, the word-by-word examination of a statement, has evolved into a valuable investigative tool. (2) When used in conjunction with other investigative techniques, it can assist greatly in the case-solving process. Statement analysis provides insight into a statement that identifies areas for further investigation, thereby lending itself to helping law enforcement officers plan future subject interviews and ongoing investigations. It is similar to a crime scene search in that it represents a careful, systematic review of each word written or uttered by a person. Before trained reviewers can conduct an analysis, however, they must know the process followed that generated the statement.

Extractions: var loc = "../../../"; There is a growing body of evidence from actual cases showing that mistaken identification by eyewitnesses who are shown lineups and photospreads is the primary cause of false convictions of innocent people in the United States. Ronald Cotton, featured in the FRONTLINE story, is only one example of an untold number of innocent people who were mistakenly identified by eyewitnesses. The scientific study of eyewitness identification began in the 1970s. Experimental psychologists, trained in using scientific methods to determine the causes of human behavior, began using staged crimes and other methods to determine what causes false identifications and what might be done to reduce their occurrence in criminal investigations. The experimental evidence, published in a variety of peer-reviewed scientific journals, shows the risk of eyewitnesses making false identifications is influenced by methods used in constructing and conducting lineups and photospreads. The empirical evidence, and the social and cognitive processes governing these effects indicate that the legal system could impose four simple rules that would greatly reduce the justice system's role in contributing to false identifications: 1) Eyewitnesses should be informed that the culprit might not be in the lineup.

Extractions: var loc = "../../../"; Q: When you take these DNA exoneration cases, the ones which set an innocent person freewhat do they represent to you? SCHECK: The post-conviction DNA exoneration cases are telling us that there are more people being convicted for crimes in our criminal justice system who are innocent than any of us wanted to believe. It's really that simple. And there are many causes for this. Probably the first one is that when you have a system where most of the people who are charged with crimes are being represented by lawyers who are court-appointed (because the people are indigent), who lack experience in many instances or come from public defender offices that have too many cases and are unfunded, who are involved in cases where the crime labs are underfunded, where even the prosecution is short of resources and the caseloads are backed up, it makes a certain amount of sense that if the system is not funded and poor people are really getting screwed in the system that you're going to have mistakes. That there is going to be an error rate in that kind of system. There are other things that arise in almost all of these cases. There's police misconduct in many instances, prosecutorial misconduct, and as I was saying before, bad lawyering. Nothing convicts an innocent defendant faster than having a bad lawyer. No question about it.

Extractions: Sometime within the next few months the Carr government will introduce legislation which will determine what control NSW citizens have over their own DNA in the coming decades. Those decades will see the completion of the Human Genome Project and with it, a revolution in genetic technology which will bring profound changes to medicine, agriculture, criminology, ethics, property rights, policing and our concept of privacy. While doctors discuss the ethical implications of the new reproductive technologies and communities engage in debate about the introduction of GM crops, behind closed doors Bob Carr and Peter Ryan have been privately crafting forensic DNA laws which will give the police unprecedented powers to physically invade the bodies of citizens and to establish a database of the DNA profiles thus obtained. The closest thing we have seen to public consultation has been the 'voluntary' mass screening of Wee Waa men in an attempt to solve a rape case. In an echo of the first mass DNA test in the UK, it was not solved with the new technology after all, but by the more traditional means of 'information from the public'. DNA 'Fingerprinting' is the term coined by British geneticist Alec Jeffries who first applied the methods of DNA paternity testing to criminal investigation and who now receives a royalty on every forensic DNA test done worldwide. However the deceptiveness of this term has led to a ban on its use in the courts of several US states.

Extractions: Integrity Bulletin Volume 3 The Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board (AZPOST) has the legislative mandate to establish and enforce the physical, mental, and moral fitness standards for all peace officers in the state. This charge, to protect the public by overseeing the integrity of Arizona's law enforcement officers, is met by reviewing cases and taking action against the certification of individuals who violate the AZPOST Rules. The following is a summary of the actions taken by the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board at its March 15, 2000 public meeting. These actions are not precedent setting, in the sense that similar cases will end with the same result, because each case is considered on its individual facts and circumstances. Having said that, this Bulletin is being published to provide insight into the Board's position on various types of officer misconduct. As always, the Compliance Specialist for your agency is available to discuss any matter and to assist you with any questions you might have.

Extractions: Authors: Christianson, T. and Hodge, P. [RCMP Forensic Laboratory, Winnipeg MB] The objective of this paper is to rationalize the current limited data available on forensic matches by comparison to federal conviction and parole rates as well as studies on recidivism for selected major crimes. Data was obtained from Statistics Canada, The Solicitor General of Canada, The National Parole Board and database administrators. The number of matches seen by the National DNA Databank exceeds what would be expected on a metric derived from conviction rates, federal prison populations, parole guidelines and recidivism rates. Early results indicate that the number of matches obtained in the National DNA Databank exceed what would be expected on the basis of convictions, paroles and recidivism. This is thought to be due to an unexpectedly high proportion of matches involving crimes against property. Ultrasound For Preparation of Fragments From Genomic DNA

Research Combined Honours BA/BSc Forensic Investigation Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Special entrance requirements ... Subject combinations Forensic Investigation may be studied with a wide variety of other subjects within the University College's BA/BSc scheme. In year 1, all students study four inter-related courses: The Principles of Forensic Investigation course develops a student's knowledge and understanding of key principles and concepts underpinning forensic investigation. This requires both an examination of the nature of forensic investigation as, in essence, a problem-solving activity guided by scientific principles of hypothesis testing and the 'forensic' (essentially judicial) context in which the investigator must function. All of these themes and aims are further developed during the remainder of the programme. Forensic Investigation and the Criminal Justice System Skills for Forensic Investigation aims to develop within students an understanding and appreciation of both the common sources of forensic evidence (for example, a crime scene) and the main forms of collection and analysis subsequently undertaken. Problems surrounding maintaining the integrity of 'exhibits' are also examined. An aim of the course is also to provide students with the academic means of subjecting various approaches to the collection and analysis of evidence to critical scrutiny.

Smith, Secondary and Adjunct Faculty: J. Grimes, A. Miller, E. Robinson, A. Shealy, A. Walia The Department of Justice Sciences offers the Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Criminal Justice degrees, as well as the Master of Science in Forensic Science degree. The program leading to the Bachelor of Science degree offers students broad academic exposure to the field of criminal justice and provides some opportunity for concentrated study in areas of interest within this field. The primary purpose of the program is to develop a general understanding of the multidisciplinary nature of criminal justice, and its secondary aim is to expose students to some in-depth examination of topics related to careers in the criminal justice field. The program is directed toward developing a criminal justice generalist in the belief that any specialization within criminal justice should be based upon a broadly based undergraduate education. Students considering a career in forensic science are encouraged to consult with one of the forensic science faculty concerning the requirements for completion of an individually designed major in this multidisciplinary field.

If this isn't engaging, consider skimming it or skip down to the " not guilty " section. Many of the assumptions of the criminal process focus on "normal" NT behaviour. This generally is not a problem, but there are times when police and court efficiency conflicts with the reality of normal behaviour of autistics. It is therefore possible that someone on The Spectrum will have a run-in with the criminal justice system. "The Spectrum" generally means the autism Spectrum, including Asperger's syndrome, HFA, PDD and Kanner's autism. Many of us are comfortable with the generic reference of "autistic".
