Crime Scene Forensics (eBook, PDF)

A Scientific Method Approach

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Success in crime scene forensics requires experience, creative thinking, logic, and the correct application of the science and the scientific method. Emphasizing the necessary thought processes for applying science to the investigation, this text covers the general scene investigation process, archiving the scene, managing the investigation, and preserving the evidence. It explores impression/pattern evidence, including fingerprints, bloodstains, footwear impressions, and tire track impressions; trace evidence, including glass, paint, and soil; and biological and ballistics evidence. The book also discusses the Principle of Divisible Matter and the Locard Exchange Principle: every touch leaves a trace.

Autorenporträt

Robert C. Shaler's research and professional interests focus on applying science and technology to crime scene investigation. His current research is related to identifying human and bacterial DNA in fingerprints and to quantifying the biological response to trauma and stress by analyzing postmortem blood and tissue. He has taught workshops to law enforcement on crime scene investigation, crime scene reconstruction, and bloodstain pattern analysis. He is the recipient of a U.S. patent for a novel method for developing fingerprints, a continuing project for which he recently received funding from the National Institute of Justice. He is the author of over 40 publications and chapters in four books.
