Historian Mike Dixon reviews the advancements made in criminology that helped solve once unsolvable historical cold cases.
Television programs, such as Law and Order and CSI, have acquainted most people with the modern techniques for solving crimes. However, for most of our past, sleuths did as much as they could to investigate crimes, lacking the most basic of tools. There wasn’t much the sheriff, part-time constable, justice of the peace or coroner could do, except rely on obvious physical evidence and witnesses. As the scientific age arrived, great advances in police science allowed detectives to crack complex cases. Drawing on notorious crimes and real mysteries from yesteryear, this program shows how science, technology and professional police practices helped detectives catch and convict criminals and close once unsolvable cases.
