CSI:  The Historical Edition 

A Lecture

Programs such as Law and Order and CSI have acquainted most people with the modern techniques that help solve crimes.  But for most of our past, sleuths did as much as they could to investigate crimes, but they lacked the most basic of tools.  There wasn’t much that could be done, except for relying on obvious physical evidence and witnesses.  However, as the scientific age arrived, great advances in police science allowed detectives to crack complex cases.  Drawing on intriguing crimes from long ago that were solved by emerging new methods, this one-hour program shows how science, technology, and professional practices helped detective crack cases what once were unsolvable.
