Excerpts

An unprecedented look into the hottest emerging field in law enforcement.
The history of crime in America has proven that criminals are often the first to seize upon opportunities presented by new technologies and use them for nefarious purposes. It has also demonstrated that law enforcement groups are quick to respond and use high-tech tools to defend the public safety. This is more true than ever now, when virus alerts arrive in e-mail in-boxes on a regular basis and sophisticated surveillance systems scan every face in crowds of thousands at football games to weed out suspected criminals.
The Encyclopedia of High-Tech Crime and Crime-Fighting is the first comprehensive survey of how the underworld takes advantage of new tools and techniques and how authorities can fight back, prevent crime, and capture criminals. In more than 420 entries, Michael Newton provides clear, extensive coverage of everything from DNA and medical evidence to computer virus attacks, from blood spatter analysis to explosive detection devices. Many of these topics have become all the more relevant in the wake of recent terrorist attacks.

Acme Rent-A-Car, illegal use of GPS
