About this book
The captivating field of modern forensic science can be challenging to understand. Written for those with little or no scientific knowledge, this book covers the three main areas of an investigation where forensic science is practised: at the scene of the crime, in the forensic laboratory, and in court.
The fifth edition of this popular book has been fully updated including new chapters and authors. With practitioners once again providing these chapters, readers are able to gain information on the forefront of current practices across the forensic science disciplines.
Ideal for anyone studying forensic science or law, this book details how crime scene and forensic examinations are conducted in the UK, courtroom procedures, and the role of the expert witness. It is an excellent source of information for anyone with a role in an investigation, including the police and crime scene investigators.
Review of the 4th Edition: "This is an excellent book which I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone with an interest in forensic science, from the experienced practitioner to the curious layman." Dr Alan Greenwood, Coventry University, UK
