Product Description
"The book is well laid out and presented in a logical order following the crime scene to court theme. Chapter one gives a comprehensive overview of the process of forensic science, including aspects such as accountability, accreditation and quality. The second chapter deals with crime scene investigation by means of two examples (a burglary and murder scene) and takes the reader through the processes that would be put in place to investigate these crimes. Chapters three to 14 cover the various aspects of forensic evidence. The material has generally been updated since the previous version and each chapter is presented in a semi-technical format so that it is clear and understandable to a wide range of readers.
The final chapter deals with the preparations of court reports and the presentation of evidence in court. This is an essential part of the forensic scientista (TM)s role as is the ability to interpret analytical results fairly and then communicate the findings to a jury and court are essential skills for an expert witness.
Crime scene to court is a well presented book providing a wealth of information for the reader about the field of forensic science."
Excerpt from a review by Niamh Nic DaA(c)id in Chemistry World, January 2005
Extract of review of 1st Edition:
"A comprehensive, well written and well presented book ... compelling reading ... It has my wholehearted recommendation."
The National Training Centre for Scientific Support to Crime Investigation
Product Description
Forensic science has been variously described as fascinating, challenging and even frightening. If you have only a vague concept of what forensic science is, this book will provide the answer. Aimed at non-scientists, or those with limited scientific knowledge, Crime Scene to Court covers all three main areas of an investigation where forensic science is practised, namely the scene of the crime, the forensic laboratory and the court. Coverage includes details of how crime scene and forensic examinations are conducted in the United Kingdom, the principles of crime scene investigations and the importance of this work in an investigation, and courtroom procedures and the role of the expert witness. The latest methods and techniques used in crime scene investigation and forensic laboratories are reported, cases are presented to illustrate why and how examinations are performed to generate forensic evidence and there is a bibliography for each chapter which provides further material for those readers wishing to delve deeper into the subject. This revised and updated edition also includes coverage on changes in professional requirements, the latest developments in DNA testing and two new chapters on computer based crimes and Blood Pattern Analysis. Ideal for those studying forensic science or law, the book is intended primarily for teaching and training purposes. However, anyone with a role in an investigation, for example police, crime scene investigators or indeed those called for jury service, will find this text an excellent source of information.
Forensic scientists soon discover when talking to the general public that many people have an extremely limited knowledge of forensic science and the tasks it performs. Read the first page
