Pierre Delval (born May 30, 1960 in Verdun, France) is a French criminologist and forensic scientist, specialized in counterfeiting and counterfeit-crime.〔http://www.constructif.fr/Auteurs_614/Pierre_DELVAL.html〕 He is the President of the Swiss WAITO Foundation, the first NGO to deal with the criminal aspect of counterfeiting, contraband and food fraud at an international level. He is the author of several publications on counterfeit consumer goods and fiduciary documents. He is regularly consulted by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and the United Nations on the latest issues regarding the convergence between consumer protection and human rights.〔http://www.drmcc.org/spip.php?article341〕 Often criticized by intellectual property rights protection associations for his alternative policy in the fight against dangerous counterfeiting, Pierre Delval’s plan of action is still essentially focused on consumer protection as concerns safety and public health, and the defense of States economic interests and assets. == Career == Criminologist and forensic scientist, Pierre Delval’s career is distinguished by its exceptional uniqueness. The French academic Pierre Delval followed an educational path which was scientific as well as legal and literary, which led him, amongst other things, to bachelor’s degrees in the history of art (musicology, art history and archaeology) and in history, a Master’s in art conservation science and technology for paintings and graphic documents, and postgraduate studies in mineralogical chemistry with a specialized field in criminology. From his first years at university, he was convinced that art, law and the sciences can provide common points in the fight against fake works of art. As a doctoral candidate in 1984, he chose an assignment of sixteen months study at the Scientific Police Laboratory of Paris (Laboratoire de Police scientifique de Paris), then known as the Criminal Identification Laboratory of Paris (Laboratoire d’Identité Judiciaire de Paris). Pierre Delval very quickly attracted the attention of Professor Pierre Fernand Ceccaldi, Director of the Laboratory and an internationally renowned Criminalist/forensic scientist. He was sent to the Lausanne Institute of Criminalistics (Institut de Criminalistique de Lausanne), the world’s leading scientific Police school, in order to specialize in the scientific analysis of forged documents. The renowned Professor Jacques Mathyer, Director of this Institute, encouraged Pierre Delval to continue on this path by training him more particularly in the new methods of forensic investigation of counterfeit currency. On his return to France in 1985, he was offered the opportunity of presenting himself to Jacques Genthial, director of the newly established PTS, the French Technical and Scientific Police (Police Technique et scientifique française), created by Pierre Jox, Interior Minister at the time. Pierre Delval received an appointment as an Engineer at the Vice-Directorate (Sous-Direction) of the PTS. He was in charge of developing new technologies for criminal investigation within the five national laboratories and took scientific responsibility for the forged documents department of the Criminal Identification Laboratory of Paris, which had just received the new title of Scientific Police Laboratory of Paris. Pierre Delval contributed to the rapid improvement of these five French laboratories, which had been particularly affected by thirty years of opposition to change, and focused on new criminalistic applications resulting from fundamental research in the fields of voice recognition and surface morphology analysis. Similarly, he prompted the French Ministry of the Interior to make very large investments in scanning electron microscopy, thus making it possible to work on trace elements/trace evidence at the infinitesimal level. Pierre Delval was passionately interested in detection methods for fake works of art and convinced that expert evidence based on iconographical analyses from art specialists alone is not enough to discover the truth. In 1986 he secured the signature of a scientific and technical partnership between the laboratory of the French Museums Service (Direction des Musées de France) and the PTS. During this period the French Scientific Police became aware of the value of exchanging expert knowledge with the largest French research laboratories, major universities, Écoles and foreign crime-detection laboratories, including the BKA. Among the fields that required analysis and involvement on the part of the scientific police: forged documents and counterfeit currency, as well as authentication of terrorist tracts and anonymous letters. At that time, this principally involved the demands of the Action Directe group and the beginnings of international terrorism. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pierre Delval」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
