Beschreibung
Forensic Reconstruction introduces students to both the process of crime scene reconstruction and the basic principles of forensic investigation. These principles--including the use of logic in examination and the admission of reconstruction evidence in American courts--are examined in the first few chapters of the book. After a look at the basics, the text examines application of these standards in various stages of the reconstruction process. The text explores such applications as shooting reconstruction, DNA, pathology, and bloodstain pattern analysis, alongside more recent developments and unique areas including profiling, genetic genealogy, and computational reconstruction as applied to airplane crashes. Each chapter is written by a recognized expert in the field, adding a depth of research and unique case highlights that provide students with the most thorough understanding of each topic.
