Description
The anthology is divided into 11 chapters. The opening chapter provides students with an historical overview of the development of forensic scientific evidence and the court's rule. Additional chapters examine how to properly identify, collect, transport, and preserve physical evidence, and why physical evidence plays an important role in most criminal court cases. Students read articles that explore trace evidence, drugs, arson investigation, forensic serology, and DNA. Fingerprinting and document examination are covered. The final chapter discusses technology and the future of forensic science. Each chapter provides additional information and challenging discussion questions to advance readers' knowledge and stimulate critical thought.
Featuring modern perspectives, Forensic Science is an ideal supplementary resource for courses in criminal justice, criminology, sociology, and forensic psychology.
