Technologies to enhance the fight against crime and terrorism

Description of call
"Technologies to enhance the fight against crime and terrorism"

Law enforcement agencies have some difficulties in tackling criminal activities supported by innovative technologies. Proposals address one sub-topic:

Trace qualification: forensic analysis of trace material is helpful. Robotized or automated tools for forensic analysis should be developed to have better knowledge and interpretation of trace composition, timing, cause of origin.
Digital forensics in the context of criminal investigations: new tools, techniques and methodologies are needed and should focus on data gathering, exploration and speedy exchange of information.
