Answer to Question 1

SICAR is Shoeprint Image Capture and Retrieval, an automated shoe print identification system developed in England that incorporates multiple databases to search known and unknown footwear files for comparison against footwear specimens. Using the system, an impression from a crime scene can be compared to a reference database to find out what type of shoe caused the imprint. That same impression can also be searched in the suspect and crime databases to reveal whether that shoe print matches the shoes of a person who has been in custody or the shoe prints left behind at another crime scene.

Answer to Question 2
