SOCIS: Scene of Crime Information System - IGR Review Report

SOCIS research scenario is that of scene of crime investigation where, typically, many hundreds of items must be photographed and gathered at each site. Currently these items are described in handwriting by a Scene of Crime officer (SOCO) whose words are later entered into a computer data base. The inefficiency of this procedure is obvious: it fails to link the spoken and the written descriptions to the images in a reliable way.
