When darkness falls over Gotham City, Tim Drake becomes his alter ego, the costumed crime-fighter known as Robin. Usually he patrols the night with his partner, Batman, but with Bruce Wayne recovering from the broken back he received from the criminal known only as Bane, Tim is forced to team up with the new Batman, Jean-Paul Valley! Unfortunately for Robin, BatmanÕs replacement doesnÕt need or want a teenage sidekick. So now the Boy Wonder is left to fly solo! Plus, Tim Drake still has to manage being an average teenager with an average glut of adolescent headaches. He canÕt drive, his girlfriend feels heÕs neglecting her and the school jock picks on him. Meanwhile, Robin must contend with a car-theft ring, a hardnosed sheriff and a trio of escaped super-villains, including the treacherous Cluemaster. ROBIN: SOLO collects, in chronological order, for the first time ever, ROBIN #1-5, ROBIN ANNUAL #1-2 and SHOWCASE Õ93 #5-6 and #11-12, presenting Tim DrakeÕs adventures from his first solo series by fan-favorite comics writer Chuck Dixon (NIGHTWING) and the all-new art team of Tom Grummett (TITANS) and Scott Hanna (DETECTIVE COMICS)!

He must confront the return of his first major adversary, King Snake, who is trying to build a drug empire in Gotham. Luckily, he has both Batman and the mysterious Huntress to aid him.

Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.
