Approximately 600 entries, enhanced with 200 images and illustrations, cover the individuals, techniques, and principles of biology, chemistry, law, medicine, physics, computer science, geology, and psychology involved in the multidisciplinary approach of examining crime scenes and evidence used in legal proceedings. Topics range from types of evidence (fingerprints, hair, weapons) to specific techniques and methods of analysis (ballistics, DNA ID), organizations (Federal Crime Lab), individuals (Alphonse Bertillon), and trials (O.J. Simpson). World of Forensic Science avoids industry jargon and uses language that laypersons can understand while still providing authoritative, balanced information that explains forensic science.

Each entry concludes with "see also" references to similar entries in the set, as well as a brief entry-specific list of sources for further study.
