Industrial Espionage Threat, Japan and others
May 6, 1996
The lure of the steal America's allies are grabbing U.S. technology. Washington is worried Today the field of economic espionage is wide open. Instead of missile launch codes, the new targets of choice are technological and scientific data concerning flat-panel televisions, electric cars and new computers. " During the cold war, we thought of the threat as KGB agents crawling into the facility ," says Gregory Gwash, the deputy director for industrial security matters at the Defense Investigative Service. " The game is no longer espionage in the classic sense Growing threat. Economic espionage is as old as greed itself. But with huge sums to be made stealing designs for computer chips and patents for hormones, the threat is growing. Rapid changes in technology are tempting many countries to try to acquire intellectual properties in underhanded ways, thus bypassing the enormous costs of research and development. New global phones, faxes, voice transmissions and data on the Internetmake this type of spying easier than ever. And it's not just hostile governments snooping. "

Organized Crime Enforcement Organized Crime “Genres” Chinese Organized Crime Chinese crime groups from Hong Kong, Taiwan, China and Macao are increasingly using Canada as a base for operations in the United States and constitute “a growing threat” to both countries, according to U.S. law enforcement and national security agencies. The warning comes from the International Crime Threat Assessment , a 128-page report of criminal activity around the world. The report, which was released on December 15, was produced by the CIA, the National Security Council, the FBI and specialists from 10 other U.S. agencies. The assessment provides a general description of the major criminal organizations operating globally, describes the kinds of crimes each group specializes in, and discusses the danger that groups from various nations pose to the United States. The report notes that Russian gangs and to a lesser extent Japanese criminal organizations increasingly are preying on U.S. citizens. But the federal agencies that produced the report consider the ethnic Chinese crime associations a more formidable peril.

Modern Science
DNA fingerprinting A technique by which the DNA of an individual can be compared with that found in a sample or another individual. DNA fingerprinting is acepted by most courts as evidence for establishing paternity, and increasingly is being accepted as evidence in criminal trials. Encyclopedia DNA fingerprinting or DNA profiling, any of several similar techniques for analyzing and comparing DNA from separate sources, used especially in law enforcement to identify suspects from hair, blood, semen, or other biological materials found at the scene of a violent crime. It depends on the fact that no two people, save identical twins, have exactly the same DNA sequence, and that although only limited segments of a person's DNA are scrutinized in the procedure, those segments will be statistically unique. Methods A common procedure for DNA fingerprinting is restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). In this method, DNA is extracted from a sample and cut into segments using special restriction enzymes. RFLP focuses on segments that contain sequences of repeated DNA bases, which vary widely from person to person. The segments are separated using a laboratory technique called electrophoresis, which sorts the fragments by length. The segments are radioactively tagged to produce a visual pattern known as an autoradiograph, or “DNA fingerprint,” on X-ray film. A newer method known as short tandem repeats (STR) analyzes DNA segments for the number of repeats at 13 specific DNA sites. The chance of misidentification in this procedure is one in several billion. Yet another process

For criminal justice to be achieved, newer and greatly improved forensic techniqueswere revolutionising the methods applied by criminal investigators.
http://www.chemsoc.org/exemplarchem/entries/2003/hull_barry/home.htm
The Application of Forensic Science to Sherlock Holmes Cases During the last century, the endeavour for criminal justice has seen a radical advancement due to the development and application of forensic techniques to crime solving. Crime solving techniques in the late 19th Century were very limited, even the development of forensic techniques such as fingerprint analysis were still in early days. For criminal justice to be achieved, newer and greatly improved forensic techniques were required, although as in many historical cases it was the failure to recognise the necessity that held up the development. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author and creator of the amateur sleuth Sherlock Holmes, had a significant influence on popularising scientific crime detection methods and encouraging the imagination of emerging forensic investigators. Doyle's literature, at a time when the "smoking gun" was necessary for the confident conviction of a criminal, illustrated a new and more thoughtful method of crime solving. The apparently simple deductive methods and elementary approach to crime solving applied attracted a wide audience and was immediately popular with readers. There have been many significant scientific breakthroughs that have enabled a considerable growth in the field of forensic science with techniques such as DNA fingerprinting revolutionising the methods applied by criminal investigators. The combination of forensic techniques available today including the physical examination of fibres, glass, paint, explosives, firearms, soil and the chemical analysis of drugs, bodily fluids, hairs and botanical materials, document examination, fingerprint analysis and many more have unequivocally provided powerful tools in the undertaking of criminal justice.

http://www.canada.justice.gc.ca/en/cons/dna/obfe/banking.html
ISSUE - BANKING DNA EVIDENCE
The phrase "DNA evidence banking" is used here to denote both DNA banking and DNA data banking. DNA banking refers to the storage and use of the bodily substances obtained, while DNA data banking refers to the storage and dissemination of the information derived from these bodily substances.
A. The Framework
The idea of banking information for future criminal investigations is not new - for instance, it has been done with fingerprinting under the Identification of Criminals Act . Even for DNA typing there are precedents. In the United States, as of December 31, 1993, 21 states had enacted legislation, of varying breadth (see Appendix A), and 7 more have introduced bills. As well, the FBI has created a national DNA data banking system known as CODIS (Combined DNA Index System). This system is operating at the pilot stage, with 14 state laboratories involved (see Appendix B). The British Royal Commission on Criminal Justice has recommended, as part of a broad list of sweeping changes, the creation of DNA data banks, and Australia is studying the concept. The American National Academy of Science, noting the analogy to the latent fingerprint system, commented that the present forensic use of DNA typing is "only the tip of the iceberg":

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.

Such officers would not sacrifice their sworn duty to catch a criminal by knowingly allowing the conviction of an innocent suspect. To do so would leave a criminal free to act again. Investigators attempt to identify, charge, and prosecute the criminal population by operating within an ethical framework in diverse, sometimes uncertain, but always challenging circumstancess. Widely used law enforcement interview and interrogation techniques recently have come under scrutiny. Fundamental interview and interrogation principles can counter the criticisms, however, and safeguard the confessions by compiling solid, incriminating evidence.

Department of Justice Fact Sheet on the President's Initiative to Advance Justice Through DNA Technology Understanding the issue: DNA technology is increasingly vital to ensuring accuracy and fairness in the criminal justice system. DNA can be used to identify criminals with incredible accuracy when biological evidence exists, and DNA can be used to clear suspects and exonerate persons mistakenly accused or convicted of crimes. In order to realize the vast potential of DNA technology, we must improve the current federal and state DNA collection and analysis systems. The President has proposed $232.6 million in federal funding in FY 2004 for his initiative, Advancing Justice Through DNA Technology, and calls for continuing this level of funding for five years a total commitment of more than $1 billion. Issue #1:

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
