Abstract

THE SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED TO REPLACE THE CUMBERSOME MANUAL FILES. STORED RECORDS INCLUDE 'RAP' SHEETS, SUSPECT IDENTIFICATIONS, MUG SHOTS, AND FINGERPRINTS. IN ADDITION, EVIDENCE FOUND THROUGH CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION IS ALSO CODED AND STORED IN THE COMPUTER. FILM COMMENTATORS ADVOCATE THIS SYSTEMS APPROACH TO CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION, AND REAL-LIFE INVESTIGATION SCENES ARE DEPICTED....TWH
