Sinopsis

We’ve all seen the television shows featuring smart scientists solving crimes. But what’s real—and what’s not? Forensic scientists use science to solve crimes. They collect tiny bits of evidence from crime scenes, including fingerprints, blood, insects, carpet fibers, and more. So how do scientists really use this evidence to figure out crimes? Find out through these fascinating, real-life examples.

Críticas

"With the current proliferation of CSI-type television programs and the heightened interest in forensic matters exhibited by all age groups, Ron Fridell has authored a hip introduction entitled Forensic Science as a contribution to the 10-part Cool Science series. In simple elementary school-level narrative, Fridell explains how forensic scientists use principles and techniques of science to solve crimes. The text is appropriately supplemented by numerous graphics and vivid color photographs. Real forensic news cases, such as the Okalahoma City bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in 1995, are highlighted. Forensic techniques such as facial reconstruction are introduced, and the specialized roles of forensic anthropologist, dentist, entomologist, and medical examiner are discussed. A short science glossary and a selected bibliography for additional reading are included." --Science Books & Films
