In 1973, the central office of the German police, the Federal Criminal Police Office, was legally obliged to maintain the necessary facilities for…research in forensic science , to monitor crime trends and compile analytical reports and statistics on this basis , and to conduct research with a view to developing police methods and procedures for crime control . This task is undertaken in the Research and Training Institute by the research units on criminology and criminal investigation and on technological development. In this volume, researchers from the Institute present their latest projects as well as report on the activities undertaken since 1973. This gives you a comprehensive picture of their wide-ranging work. They also examine the role that specialized police research plays for crime policy-makers, detectives and criminologists.
