Can face recognition stop human trafficking? Has science advanced to the stage when forensic geneticists can accurately pinpoint what a "person of interest" looks like? Crime Science travels to Singapore, India, and the United Arab Emirates to explore how technology in it's various avatars can help law-enforcement agencies prevent, solve, and reduce crime. But in doing so, where do we draw the line between security and privacy? Is digital evidence tamper-proof? How safe are biometric and DNA databases? With a mix of true-crime investigations, forensics casework, training exercises, and future technologies-on-trial, this nonfiction anthology goes behind the scenes to capture investigators, scientists, and technologists innovating together to fight against crime.
