Forensic Science The Basics, Third Edition

The third edition of this updated introductory text incorporates three new chapters on canine scent evidence, forensic engineering, and computer forensic science. Students who have some basic science background but no experience in forensic science will gain basic knowledge in forensic sciences as well as in criminal investigation and court testimony. The main thrust is how scientific data are collected, preserved, analyzed, and how expert testimony is given in court on the results of the analysis of the forensic evidence.
