"This paper ascertains the feasibility of using a data mining supervised learning algorithm to predict which crime scenes potentially offer the best opportunity of recovering forensic samples such as finger prints or DNA. UK police forces have a finite number of Crime Scene Investigators and an ever-increasing demand to attend crime scenes. The research demonstrates that the methodology is portable between forces."
