Elusive Numbers On False Rape
Haws teaches journalism at Iowa State University.Readers of The Kansas

percent of the 793 rapes in that city in 1995 (the most recent year available)
were considered false. By Dick Haws

DNA
Testing: An Introduction For Non-Scientists
An Illustrated Explanation- The explanation of DNA testing that follows
is intended as an introduction to the subject for those who may have limited
backgrounds in biological science. While basically accurate, this explanation
involves liberal use of illustration and, in some cases, over-simplification.
Although intended to be informative, this is a brief and incomplete explanation
of a complex subject. The author suggests consulting the scientific literature
for more rigorous details and alternative views. by Donald E. Riley, Ph.D
How
Stun Guns Work
On the old "Star Trek" series, Captain Kirk and his crew never
left the ship without their trusty phasers. One of the coolest things
about these weapons was the "stun" setting. Unless things were
completely out of control (as they frequently were), the Enterprise crew
always stunned their adversaries, rendering them temporarily unconscious,
rather than killing them.

How
Autopsies Work
Medical examiners are doctors just like any other, except that their patients
are dead, and the tools they use in their examination are more likely
to come from a hardware store than a medical supply house ("Nurse,
please hand me that bread knife..."). HowStuffWorks talked to Atlanta's
Deputy Chief Medical Examiner to find out how autopsies work, and what
we've learned may surprise you.

The
Faltering Common Law Jury System: A Psychological Perspective
A trial by jury is possibly the single most defining feature of the common
law legal system. As a people we hold a trial by jury as the ideal
form of unbiased judicial procedure. However, one should be concerned
with this belief, especially due the the preponderance of experimental
evidence that suggests the jury system is failing in almost every one
of its goals. This review considers evidence that portrays the 'jury
of one peers' as a group that is highly susceptible to stereotypes, manipulation,
and influences, all of which go far beyond the scope of legally relevant
information. by Michael W. Decaire
Behavioral
Profiling In Unsolved Serial Rape Cases
By definition, the serial rapist is a successful criminal because law
enforcement fails to connect his crimes, fails to understand his motives,
and subsequently fails to identify and apprehend him. It has been demonstrated
that the serial rapist, as a career sex offender, develops over time any
number of means for keeping his identity unknown, and evading detection
by law enforcement.
