To the end that criminal invesitgators use specialized computer software,
with documentation, technical writers are relevant to criminology. For
example, I am currently documenting "Criminal Docket System," a defendant
and case information database for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
Office of Criminal Enforcement, Forensics, and Training (OCEFT).
Cheers.
