{"product_id":"ballistic-imaging-national-research-council-9780309117241","title":"Ballistic Imaging","description":"Ballistic Imaging assesses the state of computer-based imaging technology in forensic firearms identification. The book evaluates the current law enforcement database of images of crime-related cartridge cases and bullets and recommends ways to improve the usefulness of the technology for suggesting leads in criminal investigations. It also advises against the construction of a national reference database that would include images from test-fires of every newly manufactured or imported firearm in the United States. The book also suggests further research on an alternate method for generating an investigative lead to the location where a gun was first sold: \"microstamping,\" the direct imprinting of unique identifiers on firearm parts or ammunition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Research Council,Division on Engineering and Physical Sci,National Materials Advisory Board\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309117240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309117241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.83h x 6.15w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2008 pg. 190","brand":"National Research Council","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48064836206847,"sku":"9780309117241","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_60019a51-c17b-4f39-80c4-e9ae84bddbde.jpg?v=1768671355","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ballistic-imaging-national-research-council-9780309117241","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
