K9 Suspect Discrimination

In today's constitutional states, the discovery of the truth is the guiding force in police investigations. Scent identification line-ups are part of these investigations into establishing what actually occurred. Besides other existing investigative techniques, the number of scent identification line-ups is increasing in the countries using them. Several other countries are considering implementing such line-ups and are in the process of evaluating how this can be done under their constitutions.

This book is a very professional description of the different ways in which scent identification line-ups can be used. The authors, Adee Schoon and Ruud Haak, have built upon sound research, to which the Canine Department of the Netherlands National Police Agency has contributed significantly.
