Мир, в котором мы сейчас живем, сложен и постоянно меняется. Преступные структуры с легкостью реагируют на меняющиеся ландшафты угроз и прогрессирующие технологии, создавая множество проблем для тех, кто расследует и осуществляет судебное преследование за преступления. Особо сложные преступления связаны с преднамеренным приобретением и использованием опасных химических и биологических веществ с целью причинения вреда людям, животным, окружающей среде или для нарушения нашего образа жизни.
