    Forensic Technology in 1986

    Hi I am preparing to writing a crime story that was in the 1986. However, during my research process, I found that most of the forensic stuff I have researched are later then 1986.

    So what kind of forensic science did we had in the year 1986? Fingerprint identification? DNA[not yet right]?

    Fingerprint evidence, footprints, fibres, mud samples, blood groups – telephone intercepts, surveillance, and believable verbals (confessions) – locking people up, incommunicable, for anything up to a week or so, and beating the shit out of the really bad bastards.
