Expanding on ideas proposed by leading thinkers throughout the history of forensic science, Principles and Practice of Criminalistics: The Profession of Forensic Science outlines a logical framework for the examination of physical evidence in a criminalistics laboratory. The book reexamines prevailing criminalistics concepts in light of both technical and intellectual advances and provides a way of conceptualizing physical evidence from its origin through its interpretation. Conceptually, the book explains what forensic scientists do and discusses the philosophical and practical considerations that affect the conduct of their work. To be sure, some of the ideas challenge conventional wisdom on the subject, and as such, are bound to provoke discussion among members of the forensic community. Against this background, Principles and Practice of Criminalistics: The Profession of Forensic Science is a tremendously valuable reference for professionals involved in forensic science and other related fields.

This review is from: Principles and Practice of Criminalistics: The Profession of Forensic Science (Protocols in Forensic Science) (Hardcover)
Overall, I had a great experience purchasing this textbook. I was very happy with the short amount of time I had to wait for it to be shipped. (I had the book within a week or so.) Also, the condition of the book upon arrival was great! Thanks a lot for your help!
