Abstract

This panel will address the key issues related to the intersection of practice and research, including issues that relate to identifying the most salient behavioral variables for distinguishing between crime scene sub-types; linking serial crimes and looking for consistency where there is none; forensic evidence in court and the CSI effect, and an examination of its existence and impact.
