Scientific Foundations of Crime Scene Reconstruction (eBook, PDF)

Introducing Method to Mayhem

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Taking a unique approach, this book demonstrates how to explain crime scene events by reproducing them in a controlled environment. The book moves systematically from case to case, illustrating the need for experiment, alternative experimental designs, and the execution and interpretation of experimental results. It uses the concepts of critical experiment to assess alternative and competing interpretations of crime scene data. Each chapter explores different avenues for integrating experimental results with analytical results derived from actual crime scenes. The text also demonstrates a final analysis presentation that combines the explanations of applied science with the results of critical experiments.

Autorenporträt

Jon J. Nordby runs Final Analysis Forensics, an independent consulting practice in death investigation, forensic science, and forensic medicine. He specializes in scientific scene reconstruction, evidence recognition, collection and analysis, ballistics, bloodstain pattern analysis and medical-legal death investigations.

He served the National Disaster Medical System with Region X DMORT, deploying to the scene of the 9-11 World Trade Center attack on the United States. He has worked as a medical investigator with the Pierce County and King County (Washington) medical examiners' offices and the British Columbia Coroner's Service Forensic Unit. He also taught crime scene investigation and scientific evidence analysis to countless members of Washington State's legal, coroner, and law enforcement agencies. In addition, Dr. Nordby has investigated and reconstructed a number of officer-involved shootings as well as many homicide cases around the United States, Canada, and Europe. All the cases and discussions in this volume are developed from his own scientific work with each case and his investigative experience over the last 25 years
