Since the publication of the National Research Council Report titled: Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward for the United States Department of Justice, there has been an international discussion on scientific character of fingerprint examination, and Poland has not been excluded from it. The approaches to fingerprint identification in the United States of America and Poland are completely different. In the first case, the holistic standard is used basing exclusively on the experience and conviction of the expert, and in the other one, numerical standard precisely determining the minimum number of consistent individual characteristics (minutiae) required for identification. Both standards have both advantages and significant drawbacks. A good way out of this situation would be finding a solution combing the holistic and numerical approaches and the project “Mapping of friction skin ridges impressions” implemented by the forensic experts of Fingerprint Examination Department in the Central Forensic Laboratory of the Police makes constitutes contribution to that.

The Impact

This chapter reviews policy implications associated with legalizing marijuana for medical and recreational purposes. The authors discuss the current landscape and attitudes toward marijuana use and review the enforcement polices of the federal government, including the impact of policies within the United States Department of Justice and the United States Government Accountability Office. The chapter also examines the expanding marijuana industry and warns against the growth of ‘Big Marijuana’ and the industry’s ability to influence policy. Finally, after reviewing the important pros and cons of legalizing this drug, the authors offer several guidelines for states to optimize care when legalization is implemented.

Great Surface

Chapter 4 recounts how the United States Department of Justice obstructed missing child legislation in the early eighties but eventually buckled under pressure from activists, who deployed an affective politics of child safety to paint the DOJ as cruel and obstinate. The DOJ subsequently transformed into the federal entity most committed to the child safety cause, working to publicize and combat the problems of child abduction, exploitation, sexual abuse, and pornography. The Department’s “conversion” proved vital to the making of a punitive child safety regime in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

Libor Manipulation

HSBC has entered into a $1.92bn deferred prosecution with the Department of Justice in the United States to settle charges that the bank’s compliance systems and corporate governance controls had failed to prevent money laundering and sanctions violations on an industrial scale. The violations spanned the globe and demonstrated fundamental flaws with the bank’s business model. The article evaluates the terms of the settlement and explores the national and extra-territorial implications. It argues that the settlement, the largest ever imposed on a financial institution, marks a significant turning point in the use of criminal prosecution precisely because it occurred just as the still burgeoning London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor) manipulation scandal reaches a denouement.
