Ethical Standards in Forensic Science outlines the state of the forensic science and engineering fields with respect to recognized methods and application of science, mathematics, and technology in the civil and criminal legal system in the United States. Significant emphasis is placed on the ethical role of the practicing forensic expert when performing analysis, reports, and opinions associated with litigation. The effect of bias is also investigated as conceptualized by the forensic scientist or engineer, the attorney, and the court. The role of these separate and distinct entities is analyzed and their overall effect, and where they intersect, is scrutinized insofar as where misconceptions and questionable science can derail the process of ethical practice and adjudication.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
