Homicide in the United States
June 2009
The 2009 NIJ Conference kicked off with a blue-ribbon panel of leaders with expertise in urban issues as they relate to homicide. These experts will discuss promising approaches that have resulted in reduced violence and community empowerment.
Fire Investigation
Fire investigators examine the scene of a fire to determine if the cause of the fire was accidental or deliberate. Burn patterns may help indicate the area of origin and the course of the fire. Physical evidence can be collected and analyzed to support the investigator in arriving at a determination—for example, the presence of ignitable liquid residues, or tampered or damaged utilities, could...
