Miniature of Crime Scenes

Her name: Frances Glessner Lee.  Area of her special contribution: Criminology What: Miniatures of crime scene, perfect pieces of art where all was perfectly described See:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hdT8PgT19w So, this is a woman who invested part of her fortune in Harvard, this sort of research.  Of course, nowadays it would be unreasonable not building computer 3D-models instead but those could still be based on her manual work. We actually start wondering why we would not collect history like this: Imagistically. That is definitely a way to preserve history to best.                       https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Marcia_Pinheiro4

Prof. Michael Levi, Prof. Martin Innes, Prof. Peter Reuter, and Mr. Rajeev V.  Gundur   wrote a report called The Economic, Financial, & Social Impacts of Organised Crime in the European Union, a report from 2013, and the above extract came from this report.

Besides, I reckon we should always assess losses for the individual from the perspective of the most important, useful and happy, since that means we will get more value for the losses, running the risk of overvaluing, but not undervaluing, them and gains from the opposite perspective, so that we are never unfa...

It is currently agreed upon that this worm was designed as a cyber weapon to attack the development of Iran's nuclear program (Holloway, 2015). Everyone seems to think that this was an attack orchestrated by The State. In this case, The State would be two states: The United States and Israel [(Holloway, 2015) and (Alazab et al, 2014)]. Alazab et al (2014) does mention the National Security Agency and that does agree with what Holloway (2015) states, even though Holloway states that in a heavier manner. Holloway (2015) says that Edward Snowden (Gallagher, 2013) said that was the case in 2013.  Edward Snowden actually worked for the NSA for a time (Gallagher, 2013). Alazab et al (2014) says that it was the NSA plus the Unit 8200, which would be the Israelian counterpart for the NSA. Operation Olympic Games would be the name of this operation according to Alazab et al (2014). Stuxnet would ...
