Download or read book Handbook of Trace Evidence Analysis written by Vincent J. Desiderio and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covers new trace evidence techniques and expanding areas of analysis, along with key theory and applications Developed around the need for updated information in the disciplines of trace evidence the Handbook of Trace Evidence Analysis focuses on the increasing awareness and need for validation, modern methods for addressing and controlling contamination, the shift towards incorporating statistical analyses into the interpretation phase and cutting edge research into new forensic science methods and their application. Beginning with an overview of the topic and discussing the important role that information derived from trace materials can provide during investigations, the book then presents chapters on key techniques. The first being the critical nature of microscopy, and the methods employed for the recognition, collection, and preservation of trace evidence. Subsequent chapters review the core disciplines of trace evidence examination: paints and polymers, hairs, fibers and textiles and glass. Each chapter contains in-depth discussions on the origin of the materials involved, including any natural or synthetic processes involved in their production, the nuances involved in their detection, and the methods of analysis that are used to extract valuable information from samples. In addition, suggested workflows in method and testing selections, as well as addressing specific scientific challenges as well as the limitations of knowledge on the transfer, persistence and background abundance of trace materials are discussed. The book ends by examining the interpretation of trace evidence findings from a historical perspective and examining the methods that are currently being developed. Provides an in-depth introduction to the general area of trace evidence and discusses current and new techniques Consolidates trace evidence and materials categories of testing into one reference series Offers a detailed focus on technical approaches and guidelines to trace evidence Includes analytical schemes/workflows and valuable guides for the interpretation of data and results The Handbook of Trace Evidence will appeal to forensic science academics, students, and practitioners in the trace evidence and materials science disciplines, as well as DNA analysts, toxicologists, forensic anthropologists, crime laboratory managers, criminal justice students and practitioners, and legal professionals.

Download or read book A Tactical Management Model of Forensic Evidence Processes written by Colin James Armstrong and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis argues for the development of a tactical management model of forensic evidence processes. Seeking desired justice outcomes beyond a single jurisdiction to address transnational crime is difficult. Not only are laws and legal systems different, evidence processing is not standardised. Management of forensic evidence demands global and local solutions. Without international consensus for the standardisation of evidence definitions, terminologies, and processes impartial interpretations of evidence will continue to be subjected to prejudices and biases. Scientific and technological progress is changing the political nature of justice. Stakeholders with different perspectives and different objectives exasperate problems with forensic evidence processing. Law enforcers, forensic scientists, and the judiciary understand evidence from different perspectives and maintain conflicting and at times disparaging views of each other. This situation results in injustices that sees the innocent convicted and the guilty unpunished. Law enforcement personnel are at the beginning of the forensic evidence lifecycle and flawed evidence processing at this point must progress to unjust consequences. Most practitioners in the forensic evidence lifecycle are perceived to be professional and academically qualified but law enforcers are often seen as blue collar workers. Using the design science approach, this research aims to alleviate that situation by contributing a new framework for building better forensic evidence solutions. This objective is to be achieved after investigating the scope and nature of the problem interviewing evidence practitioners with law enforcement, forensic science, and judiciary perspectives and reviewing pertinent literature. The design science approach facilitated iterative develop of a preliminary model during the consultative data collection phase. Combining high level theory building with practitioners feedback of the abstracted problem and solution building phase led to the development of a meta model. The resulting meta model and constituent parts address challenges to tactical management of forensic evidence processes to provide a holistic management tool. The meta model provides a framework for six component models addressing the perspective and reason for the intervention, the building of evidence knowledge, analysis of the relationships between evidence items, building forensic evidence networks of investigated cases, an evidence resource library, and finally evidence classification schemes. The meta model and incorporated component models provide the forensic evidence practitioner community with a global level holistic framework, and meaningful local level models addressing standardising the practicalities of forensic evidence processes. Evaluation of the meta model and components was conducted iteratively during interviews where potential solutions were explored whilst gathering data from evidence experts. The high level and global nature of the meta model proved testing and validation a challenge. Another limitation was the impracticality of fully evaluating some component models because they would require large implementation projects that should be guided by international cooperation and agreements. This thesis makes a foundational level contribution for developing evidence scholarship in inter jurisdictional systems to improve and standardise evidence processing practices and systems underpinning the emerging science of forensic evidence.

This book was released on 2019-09-30 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a line of communication between academia and end users/practitioners to advance forensic science and boost its contribution to criminal investigations and court cases. By covering the state of the art of promising technologies for the analysis of trace evidence using a controlled vocabulary, this book targets the forensics community as well as, crucially, informing the end users on novel and potential forensic opportunities for the fight against crime. By reporting end users commentaries at the end of each chapter, the relevant academic community is provided with clear indications on where to direct further technological developments in order to meet the law requirements for operational deployment, as well as the specific needs of the end users. Promising chemistry based technologies and analytical techniques as well as techniques that have already shown to various degrees an operational character are covered. The majority of the techniques covered have imaging capabilities, that is the ability to visualize the distribution of the target molecules within the trace evidence recovered. This feature enhances intelligibility of the information making it also accessible to a lay audience such as that typically found with a court jury. Trace evidence discussed in this book include fingermarks, bodily fluids, hair, gunshot residues, soil, ink and questioned documents thus covering a wide range of possible evidence recovered at crime scenes.

This book was released on 2009-07-29 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.

Book excerpt: Josiah Sutton was convicted of rape. He was five inches shorter and 65 pounds lighter than the suspect described by the victim, but at trial a lab analyst testified that his DNA was found at the crime scene. His case looked like many others -- arrest, swab, match, conviction. But there was just one problem -- Sutton was innocent. We think of DNA forensics as an infallible science that catches the bad guys and exonerates the innocent. But when the science goes rogue, it can lead to a gross miscarriage of justice. Erin Murphy exposes the dark side of forensic DNA testing: crime labs that receive little oversight and produce inconsistent results; prosecutors who push to test smaller and poorer-quality samples, inviting error and bias; law-enforcement officers who compile massive, unregulated, and racially skewed DNA databases; and industry lobbyists who push policies of "stop and spit." DNA testing is rightly seen as a transformative technological breakthrough, but we should be wary of placing such a powerful weapon in the hands of the same broken criminal justice system that has produced mass incarceration, privileged government interests over personal privacy, and all too often enforced the law in a biased or unjust manner. Inside the Cell exposes the truth about forensic DNA, and shows us what it will take to harness the power of genetic identification in service of accuracy and fairness.

Download or read book Interpreting Evidence written by Bernard Robertson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-07-28 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains the correct logical approach to analysis of forensic scientific evidence. The focus is on general methods of analysis applicable to all forms of evidence. It starts by explaining the general principles and then applies them to issues in DNA and other important forms of scientific evidence as examples. Like the first edition, the book analyses real legal cases and judgments rather than hypothetical examples and shows how the problems perceived in those cases would have been solved by a correct logical approach. The book is written to be understood both by forensic scientists preparing their evidence and by lawyers and judges who have to deal with it. The analysis is tied back both to basic scientific principles and to the principles of the law of evidence. This book will also be essential reading for law students taking evidence or forensic science papers and science students studying the application of their scientific specialisation to forensic questions.
