Book Description
The Committee recommends that the presentation, comprehensibility and completeness of financial information in the FCO Annual Report, should be improved. Where projects have failed to produce the expected benefits, an explanation must be included. It is not clear to what extent the post-September-11 increase in security costs is being funded by new money, or by saving money on other activities. FCO contributions to the reduction of opium production in Afghanistan should be reported on. The reduced funding of the BBC World Service and of the British Council is a cause for concern. There should be an explanation why there is no air conditioning in the new embassy in Berlin. Detailed guidance should be issued to diplomats on how they should respond to requests from ministers that they draft letters of support for companies seeking contracts abroad, when those companies are declared donors to a British political party

Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States

Book Description
Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.
