It is produced every\r\nthree or four years since it was first conducted. The CPFFCL includes\r\nall state, county, municipal, and federal crime labs that (1) are\r\nsolely funded by government or whose parent organization is a\r\ngovernment agency and (2) employ at least one full-time natural\r\nscientist who examines physical evidence in criminal matters and\r\nprovides reports and opinion testimony with respect to such physical\r\nevidence in courts of law. For example, this includes DNA testing and\r\ncontrolled substance identification for federal, state, and local\r\njurisdictions. Some publicly funded crime labs are part of a multi-lab\r\nsystem. The census attempted to collect information from each lab in\r\nthe system. Police identification units, although sometimes\r\nresponsible for fingerprint analysis, and privately operated\r\nfacilities were not included in the census.\r\n\r\n", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/web/ICPSR/series/258", "title": "Census of Publicly Funded Forensic Crime Labs Series"}], "identifier": "2443", "issued": "2005-09-02T00:00:00", "keyword": ["DNA fingerprinting", "budgets", "crime laboratories", "criminal investigations", "expenditures", "forensic sciences", "personnel", "policies and procedures"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2018-10-18T12:21:02", "programCode": ["011:061"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "Bureau of Justice Statistics", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "title": "Census of Publicly Funded Forensic Crime Labs Series"}
