Know About The Book 'Forensic Science: From the Crime Scene to the Crime Lab, Fourth Edition' : 

New Features:

New! Several case files have been included to certain chapters to show how forensic technology has been used to solve high-profile crimes.

• A discussion of body worn cameras and their role in crime scene recording has been added to Chapter 3, "Recording the Crime Scene."
• Chapter 8, "Forensic Biometrics: Fingerprints and Facial Recognition," is a new chapter that focuses on the use of fingerprint, iris, and facial biometrics in the creation of identification documents databases including biometric information.
• The reader is introduced to the new physical evidence in Chapter 5, "Physical Evidence." The FBI's Next Generation Identification system (NGI) was designed as a biometric data repository Information.
• Chapter 15, "DNA: The Indispensable Tool," has been updated to reflect recent developments to reflect newly installed technologies and the Combined DNA Indexing System growth of the database
• "Forensic Aspects of Fire and Explosion Investigation," Chapter 16, has been updated to include a discussion of how fire deviates from typical behavior influence on the understanding of burn patterns during fire scenes.

Throughout the book, information has been updated, and many new figures have been added to demonstrate concepts covered in the chapters.

Purpose of the Book:

The first thing that comes to mind while writing a textbook on the current state of forensic science is all of the sophisticated high-tech instruments at the forensic analyst's disposal. A textbook devoted to this subject might easily overwhelm a student who has had little or no prior education in the basic sciences and is unwilling to remedy this shortcoming. Although certain basic scientific principles must be covered in a forensic science course, the material must be presented in a way that does not "turn off" the learner. Forensic Science: From the Crime Scene to the Crime Lab, Fourth Edition, like the previous edition, is meant to achieve this goal by teaching the science of forensics in an easy-to-understand and student-friendly fashion.

The topics are organized in such a way that they blend scientific approach with real-world forensic applications. Scientific discussions concentrate on cutting-edge technology rather than superfluous notions that may bore or overwhelm non-science students. Only the most important scientific and technical ideas are discussed. The duty of the crime-scene investigator in preserving, documenting, and gathering physical evidence at the crime scene occupies a significant amount of the book. The usage of the body worn camera at crime scenes has been added to Chapter 3, which describes the application of photography to the crime scene. Contamination is a major problem while collecting a DNA-containing material. Appropriate suggestions for reducing this type of incident during the collecting and packing of biological evidence have been added to the text. "Forensic Biometrics and Facial Recognition" is a new chapter (Chapter 8) in the fourth edition.

The reader is given with descriptions and crucial forensic details concerning well-known instances. The goal is to show the reader how forensic science may be applied to real-life case investigations. The reader has the option of reading the Closer Analysis features to go further into the subject's most challenging technical elements.

Dr. Saferstein has written or coauthored approximately forty-five technical publications on a range of forensic subjects. He coauthored Basic Laboratory Exercises for Forensic Science, Second Edition (Prentice Hall, 2011) and Basic Laboratory Exercises for Forensic Science, Second Edition (Prentice Hall, 2011). (Prentice Hall, 2015). He's also the editor of the popular professional reference books Forensic Science Handbook, Volume 1, Second Edition (Prentice Hall, 2002), Forensic Science Handbook, Volume 2, Second Edition (Prentice Hall, 2005), and Forensic Science Handbook, Volume 3, Second Edition (Prentice Hall, 2006). (Prentice Hall, 2010).

Tiffany Roy:

Tiffany Roy, JD, contributed significantly to the editing of this version of the textbook, as well as the extras and the new Revel interactive e-text, by supporting Dr. Saferstein. Roy is a forensic DNA specialist who has worked in both governmental and commercial laboratories in the United States for over eleven years. She teaches students at Palm Beach Atlantic University, University of Maryland University College, and Southern New Hampshire University in West Palm Beach, Florida. She now works as a forensic biology consultant for attorneys and the media through her company, Forensic Aid, LLC. Roy has degrees in Biology, Law, and Forensic Science from Syracuse University, Massachusetts School of Law, and the University of Florida. Her background in teaching, legal writing, and witness testimony enables her to simplify complicated scientific concepts for nonscientists.
