FAS Releases Survey Results on the Attitudes of Scientists Toward Law Enforcement

The survey questions were designed to evaluate the working relationship between FBI field agents and scientists, and the results, published on 22 December 2008 in Science Progress, indicate a reluctance to discuss research with law enforcement and other issues that are specific to the science community.
