Forensic Science - Tapa blanda

'I recommend this book to all first-year forensic science students, but it also has something to say to those in more advanced years and even postgraduates. Lawyers, scene of crime investigators and police officers should also find this book of considerable interest.' Professor Brian Caddy, Former President of the Forensic Science Society review for Education in Chemistry, Royal Society of Chemistry 'The authors convey serious messages in a rigorous but accessible and engaging manner. I would thoroughly recommend this text as an educational resource for all those teaching the early stages of courses incorporating forensic science and as an insightful and well-organised summary for those they teach.' Professor Robert Hillman, Leicester University - review for Higher Education Academy, Physical Sciences Centre

This book provides a clear and authoritative introduction to forensic science. It is comprehensive in that it covers the core topics throughout the process of doing forensic science: from collecting evidence at the crime scene; through the analysis of that evidence; through to the presentation of the scientific findings in court. Scientifically rigorous, the book is primarily aimed at undergraduates starting out on forensic science degree programmes or those taking a forensic science elective module. Due to the book's accessible and engaging tone related professions such as lawyers or police officers may also find this of interest as may the general reader who simply wishes to learn more about the subject. Case studies, chapter objectives and summaries and exercises feature throughout to enhance the reader's learning experience. "A useful and relevant text which serves as a primer for students to understand current processes and structures. Well laid out and illustrated; a very readable text which is objective and factual in its presentation." Rob Bird, Coventry University (formerly SIO/Police Superintendent)
