Crime Lab Project It's Not CSI Out There! American Crime Labs Need Your Help! The CSI shows are exciting, entertaining dramas and have done a lot to make the public aware of forensic science, and its potential. That's terrific. But let's talk about reality, and not television: the truth is, most American crime labs are under-funded, are in aging facilities, do not have the latest computers and other equipment, and are not fully staffed. More than one out of four labs do not have basic computers for processing evidence. What is the Crime Lab Project? We are a group of writers, producers, and concerned members of the public who are working together to obtain better funding for forensic science labs. The Crime Lab Project does not collect dues or donations. We ask those who want to be a part of it to sign up for our mailing list, and to take action on behalf of crime labs. Anyone who is willing to do so may become a member of the Crime Lab Project .
