Book Synopsis Ballistic Imaging by : National Research Council

Download or read book Ballistic Imaging written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-10-10 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ballistic Imaging assesses the state of computer-based imaging technology in forensic firearms identification. The book evaluates the current law enforcement database of images of crime-related cartridge cases and bullets and recommends ways to improve the usefulness of the technology for suggesting leads in criminal investigations. It also advises against the construction of a national reference database that would include images from test-fires of every newly manufactured or imported firearm in the United States. The book also suggests further research on an alternate method for generating an investigative lead to the location where a gun was first sold: "microstamping," the direct imprinting of unique identifiers on firearm parts or ammunition.
