4	Examining the unique security features of a credit card with the aim of identifying possible fraudulent use Budhram, Trevor 09 1900 (has links) The use of credit cards has become a way of life in many parts of the world. Credit cards have also created many new opportunities for criminal activity. It is in this light that organizations such as VISA International have explored a variety of security alternatives by constantly reviewing security measures that may be applied to cards and devote considerable resources to the maintenance of security systems and programmes. These programmes mandated by the association, include uniform card standards, security standards for manufactures, embossing and encoding of cards, standards for mailing the cards and credit background investigations of applicants. These standards assist investigators in examining counterfeit cards and distinguish a counterfeit card from a genuine card. The constant reviewing of security features and methods by the association is to create a card that is technically difficult to alter or counterfeit. / Criminology / M.Tech.

5	Pointing out of crime scenes : a technique used to link a suspect with a crime Van der Merwe, Dirk, 1964- 10 1900 (has links) Crime in South Africa is very close to getting out of control.
