Choose 1:

1. 1. It is expensive to upkeep a trace unit. Many labs are shutting their units down. Discuss the pros/cons of keeping open a unit that doesn’t give personal identification data, like DNA.
2. 2. The number of trace evidence cases submitted to labs has continually diminished over recent years. Why do you think that is happening?
3. 3. Provide some input on what glass analysis can tell us in the 21st century. You may want to look up articles by Dr. Almirall’s group @ FIU.

4. Michael Grieve passed away not long ago. Discuss the contributions he made to forensic science.

5. Discuss some of the contributions Dr. Walter McCrone has made to the forensic community over the years.
