SURVEY OF THE APPLICATION OF SCIENTIFIC METHODS IN THE DETECTION OF INSURANCE FRAUD, TAX EVASION, FALSE ADVERTISING AND FOOD AND DRUG VIOLATIONS.
Abstract
THE AUTHOR SUGGESTS THAT CRIMINALISTICS SHOULD BE A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY COORDINATION OF THE NATURAL SCIENCES ENGAGED IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF BOTH CIVIL AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE. THE CONTRIBUTIONS FORENSIC SCIENTISTS HAVE MADE IN SUCH AREAS AS DETECTING IMPROPERLY LABELED TEXTILES AND DRUGS, AND IN IDENTIFYING IMPROPER CLASSIFICATIONS OF GOODS BY IMPORTERS WHO WISH TO AVOID TAXES ARE REVIEWED.
