New and improving tools and techniques that will assist and improve the investigation process, like Brain Fingerprinting, the new fingerprinting bullets technique, Touch DNA, Sperm free DNA testing, Laser Scaling Device, Antibody profiling identification, 3-D fingerprinting enhancer, Spherical photography will are change the way that investigators investigate crimes. One of the most impressive tools is Brain Fingerprinting a new computer-based technology that identifies the perpetrator of a crime accurately and scientifically by measuring brain-wave responses to crime-relevant words or pictures presented on a computer screen. Brain Fingerprinting has proven 100% accurate in over 120 tests, including tests on FBI agents, tests for a US intelligence agency and for the US Navy, and tests on real-life situations including felony crimes. The Laser Scaling Device is also very impressive because it allows investigators to view photos in a way that were unimaginable before. The Spherical photography camera is also going to impact investigations because it gives investigators the ability to view the crime scene just like it was when they first took the pictures. Another great tool is the 3-D fingerprint Enhancer because it does not only improve the quality of the prints but it does it much easier and faster. The scanner for the 3-D fingerprint Enhancer could print all ten fingers at one time. It also makes it so much easier of investigators to match the fingerprints up. Some of these great tools are already in use in different parts of the country and even the world. They aren’t all completely new but they are much more improved then some all ready in existence.
Over the years there has been huge revolutionary tools introduced to criminal investigations, some of them being DNA matching which helps in identifying criminal by using samples of their blood. Another huge and carousal tool in the criminal justice system is fingerprinting. The discovery of
