Description
Welcome to the Second Edition of the best selling book Forensic Science Crime Scene Analysis. The Second Edition has been completely revised, updated and greatly expanded. It is now more than twice the size of the original book with extra sections on forensic photography, blood spatter analysis, trace evidence, impressions, ballistics, bomb-making, explosives, toxicology, digital evidence, search warrants, forensic computer investigation, DNA testing and advances, Miranda rights, police interrogation techniques, and the law relating to the admissibility of confessions. There is also a much extended Glossary and complete new chapters on the Admissibility of Expert Evidence and Criminal Law Evidence. So, just how accurate are TV crime programs like CSI? Apparently, they are far removed from reality and mask the clear division of labor which exists between crime scene investigators and law enforcement officers. The first part of the book deals with crime scene analysis, what happens at a crime scene, or what's supposed to happen and covers every aspect of crime scene investigation. The second part is an introduction to forensic science and deals with such diverse topics as fingerprints, firearms, computers, autopsies, forensic pathology, poisons, the identification of decaying bodies and skeletons, cranio-facial reconstruction, serology, fraud, DNA and cyber crime. But perhaps the most enjoyable chapter is the tongue in cheek one entitled Committing the Perfect Crime. A perfect book for law enforcement officers, criminal lawyers, crime writers and basically anyone interested in crime.--Back cover.
