World of Forensic Science,
2nd Edition
Gale | 2 volumes
March 2016
eISBN: 9781410332851
ISBN: 9781410332868
A revision of the 2006 1st edition, the
two-volume, full-color World of Forensic
Science is a comprehensive guide to the
scientific processes and the legal, social,
and ethical issues involved in the forensic
sciences. 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.
Entries in World of Forensic Science range
in length from 300 to 2,500 words and
are arranged in A-Z order. 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.
