Reihe: Emerging Technologies, Ethics and International Affairs

An original contribution to both the literature on emerging technologies and the literature on contemporary theories and investigative techniques in forensic science. The chapters address cutting-edge, developing, and even hypothetical techniques and technologies in forensics research and practice, especially as it relates to the criminal justice and law enforcement worlds in contemporary society. Forensic science, as a relatively new field of research still actively identifying itself in the larger landscape of the sciences, has been sharply criticized for utilizing techniques deemed largely unscientific by subject area experts. One intention of this volume is to re-view a sufficient sample of emerging technologies in forensic science to enable the reader to make an informed decision on whether forensic science deserves the critical skepticism it receives, or whether it offers a collection of investigative techniques that are just as scientifically sound as those found in other areas of experimental science. Academics and forensics professionals in diverse professional settings will benefit from reading this volume, and utilizing it as a reference guide on numerous aspects of contemporary thinking on how best to forensically process crime scenes, address forensic assessment issues, evidence based treatment of criminal behavior in our society, and improve the techniques used to work in an array of settings.
