Acerca de este libro electrónico
Moving beyond a discussion of forensic science as a suite of specialised scientific disciplines that aim to provide evidence to the courts, Critical Forensic Studies offers critical insights relevant to a wide range of social actors in the criminal justice system. Core content includes:
• the history and public understandings of forensic science
• the professionalisation of forensic science
• forensic science as a social process
• crime scene examination and forensic intelligence
• experts and evidence in court
• technological advances and human rights
• interdisciplinary knowledge, practice and research
This book is essential reading for forensic and criminal justice practitioners and students across criminology, sociology, forensic science, law, and psychology.
