FORENSICS JOURNAL

Welcome back to the Stevenson University Forensics Journal. The overwhelming response from readers of
the 2010 Journal was an exciting beginning to what we hope will be a long tradition of scholarly pursuit.
After a brief rest to enjoy the success of our first edition, the editors spent the remainder of 2010 working on
the second edition. This year, we are fortunate to have an increasing science presence in the Journal, which
have expanded both its breadth and its depth of this subject matter. Other articles were authored by students
in the accounting, legal, investigations and IT tracks.
All articles written for this edition of the Journal are authored by master’s degree candidates at Stevenson
University. Each submission has been peer reviewed by two current students and undergone the editing
process with both faculty and outside editors. After almost a year of waiting for some authors, the realization
of publication is here and the commitment to the scholarly process has been realized!
Thank you to the editors, Abigail, Pat, Stephanie and Robert. Your work is an integral part of the success of
the Journal. I would also like to thank the administration, faculty and staff for their continued support and
enthusiasm for this project.

Carolyn Hess Johnson, Esq.
Editor and Publisher
