Crime scene investigators use black powder to find two fingerprints on the counter at the scene of a burglary. The first fingerp

rint is a loop pattern and the second fingerprint is a whorl. Investigators looked through their fingerprint cards (they're not familiar with AFIS) and found a someone who had both loop and whorl fingerprint patterns on the same hand as the crime scene prints. They arrested them, confident they had found the perpetrator. 1. Why are they wrong to be confident in their arrest and what errors in investigating fingerprints did they make ? You should discuss at least three reasons.

These are the reasons why the investigators are wrong to be confident in the arrest that they made:

  • They are wrong due to the fact that there is no case of a perfect finger match between the person that they have arrested and the finger print that they found on this crime scene. They did not carry out enough comparisons.
  • Another reason is the fact that a whorl fingerprint and a loop from a finger cannot give different prints that they saw on the scene of the crime.

  • Lastly a lot of people could have loops and whorl prints on their hands. Therefore this would mean that they may have accused a wrong person.

<h3>What are AFIs?</h3>

These are fingerprint identification systems that are used in forensics to analyze and also come to conclusions on the digitalized fingerprints of people.

If an environmental group wanted to prevent the habitat destruction of the Wyoming pocket​ gopher, the Coase theorem would direc
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.bargain in order to obtain the property rights of the gopher habitat.

Explanation:

In economics, the Coase Theorem states that in a market where transaction costs are negligible, a dispute between parties where property rights are involved will lead to a bargaining process where the party that gives the most value to whatever it's in dispute will end up winning rights over that property. In this case, the environmental group assigns great value to protecting the habitat of the Wyoming pocker gopher, but they can only fully secure its well-being by securing property rights over said habitat, and given their standing, they can expect to bargain or negotiate successfully. Any other option, like protesting, boycotting, or lobbying, won't be good enough to achieve their goals.

How was the Toorale Man found?
jekas [21]

Answer:

An aboriginal skeleton that was discovered in 2012 on the banks of Darling river in Tootale National Park is known as Toorale Man. The skeleton's facial bones were damaged and had deep and fatal wounds. The wound stretched from the forehead to the mouth.

Initially, it was believed that the wound was caused by metal blades and the man died in the violence between the aboriginals and European settlers. But the radiocarbon dating revealed that the man died much earlier, almost 700 years ago. It raised several questions about the use of metal by aboriginals because metal arrived in Australia with Macassan Fisherman in the north and then with the European settlement.

His skull was lying on a washed pile of sand and was arranged in a fetal position and his skull was sticking out.
