Solving crime is an important element in our society. Police and other law enforcement agencies now have many technologies at hand in order to solve crime using scientific methods and techniques.
Program Overview
Students use the KIOSC Learning Management System (LMS) to solve the Knox International Laboratories for Lifesaving Epidemiological Research (KILLER) crime.
