Rezensionen

Critical Forensic Studies examines forensic science as its own subject, seeking to improve it in light of social justice and human rights. I cannot imagine a more important or timely book.

Max Houck, Forensic Portfolio Innovator, Global Forensic and Justice Center, Florida International University, USA

Can we deploy in our societies a vision that combines science, security and justice, while respecting human rights? An inspiring critical perspective on forensic science that provides a clear, deep, nuanced, and comprehensive answer.

Olivier Ribaux, Professeur et Directeur, Ecole des Sciences Criminelles, Université de Lausanne, Switzerland

The authors provide not only a comprehensive audit of critical forensic studies, but in setting the scene for understanding how and why forensic science can prove flawed, should galvanize a field of research essential for the future of justice.

Carole McCartney, Professor of Law & Criminal Justice, Northumbria University, UK

A must-read for all academics and students interested in the subject and forensic practitioners, policy-makers, and legal professionals.

Claude Roux, Distinguished Professor of Forensic Science, University of Technology Sydney, Australia

An interesting and refreshing read of forensic science from a social perspective. The book covers a comprehensive range of topics on forensic science, well illustrated with past cases, and each chapter ends with issues and questions designed to provoke thinking and a re-examination of the current state.
