detected that can determine things such as criminality, and alcoholism:

I spoke to the person from whom I recieved the information, and he got it
from a television programme on Channel 4 (England), presented by a
proffessor at Edinburgh University. Where the information can be found as a
hard-copy is something I do not know. Sorry it took so long to reply,
but I've got round to it in the end :)
