The 3rd edition of GCC Forensics Conference will be held in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The Conference will explore themes that are geographically and internationally relevant as we dwelve into terror-related crime investigations. This year's call for papers should look into how different techniques and case studies have aided law enforcement, academia and the sector in curbing one of the most challening areas of crime of modern times.
