Detecting & Convicting the Arsonist: Lessons from the United States
This paper discusses the poor record in the United Kingdom for investigating and prosecuting arson offences. It compares the UK record with that of the United States where there is a higher rate of detection. The paper explores the reasons why this might be so. It looks at current investigation and prosecution practices in the UK and US, the role of the public services and the Government, and suggests how the UK might change its practices to improve both its detection and prosecution rates.

Fire Investigation in Scotland
This independent study was undertaken by the Forensic Institute on behalf of the Arson Prevention Bureau to look into current fire investigation arrangements in Scotland and make recommendations for improvements in the future. It draws on the findings of a number of previously published studies and consultations as well as interviews with a wide range of stakeholders, in particular the Scottish Fire Service, criminal justice system and fire policy makers. It analyses the strengths and weaknesses of the current system and proposes a model for the organization, management and delivery of fire investigation in Scotland. The current debate on delivery of fire investigation in England and Wales should be informed by these conclusions.
