Современная техника в криминалистических исследованиях
(Уильям Брекон, «Англия» №52)
Шерлок Холмс был вооружен одним лишь увеличительным стекло. Идеальный полицейский нашего века может восхищаться великим сыщиком, но в распоряжении современной полиции находятся такие инструменты, которые оставили бы позади Шерлока Холмса. Современные методы расследования ставят перед преступником гораздо более сложную задачу.
Отпечатки пальцев и следы обучи – традиционная основа сыска - тоже являются объектом новейших исследований. Отпечатки пальцев обнаруживают с помощью радиоактивных химических веществ, следы обуви изучают с помощью лазера и статистического электричества.
Совсем новым направлением стало обнаружение мельчайших частиц стекла на одежде. Современные методы позволяют установить, на каком заводе было изготовлено стекло и в какой день. На одежде часто обнаруживают следы краски. Если правильно провести ее анализ, важность такой улики может быть приравнена к отпечатку пальцев. Если краска с автомашины, можно с уверенностью установить фирму, модель и год выпуска автомобиля.
Отдел информации собирает и постоянно обновляет картотеку, которая содержит все важные материалы, которые могут помочь в раскрытии преступления.
Еще один новый метод – нейтронно-активационный анализ. В процессе этого метода образцы подвергаются бомбардировке в атомном реакторе. С помощью этого метода можно, например, раскрыть отравление мышьяком при анализе волос, так как этот яд концентрируется на отдельных участках волос.
Появились новые методы установления факта применения огнестрельного оружия. Этот метод позволяет обнаружить на теле следы металлических частиц весом всего в одну миллиардную долю грамма.
В лаборатории судебной экспертизы Скотланд Ярда ученые занялись поиском доказательств, что пятно крови так же неповторимо, как и отпечаток пальца. Исследователи столичной полиции обнаружили, что два из основных компонентов крови – протеины и энзимы – обладают четко выраженными отличительными характеристиками, которые встречаются в различных сочетаниях. Лаборатория Скотланд Ярда могла недавно продемонстрировать, что одно определенное пятно крови может принадлежать лишь восьми людям во всей стране.
Таким образом, задача судебной экспертизы - найти преступника и защитить невиновного.
