Veterinary Forensics: Investigation, Evidence Collection, and
Expert Testimony will provide anyone involved in an investigation
of an animal involved crime or civil action with the knowledge and
tools that can give guidance for their actions in completing a
forensic investigation. All 50 U.S. states, and numerous countries
around the world, have laws against animal abuse and cruelty. Law
enforcement agents, veterinarians, the judiciary, attorneys and
forensic scientists may be involved in cases of animal cruelty,
neglect or human crimes that may have an animal element.
Additionally, the animal can be the victim, suspect or in some
instances the witness of a crime. Given that acquittal or
conviction is dependent upon the nature and veracity of the
evidence, the quality of the evidence in an animal-related crime
investigation must be beyond reproach. The book begins with a
discussion of animal abuse and crimes against animals, crime scene
investigation, and, from there, discusses various types of forensic
examinations of the animal, culminating in a review of the judicial
system and testimony in a court of law. All contributing authors
are practicing professionals in law, veterinary medicine, and the
private sector who provide current, best-practice evidence
collection and forensic techniques. Chapters provide in-depth
detail about the forensic clinical examination and forensic
necropsy of small and large animal species, forensic radiology,
forensic toxicology, bitemark analysis and animal behavior.
Various, relevant forensic disciplines such as bloodstain pattern
analysis, DNA analysis, animal sexual abuse, agroterrorism, animal
hoarding, ritual crimes against animals, and animal fighting are
discussed. Key Features: Presents established and accepted police
techniques in animal crime scene investigation including
identification, documentation and packaging of physical evidence
and scene photography and videography Includes essential techniques
to collect and preserve biological and DNA evidence for animal DNA
testing Review of the forensic clinical examination and forensic
necropsy of small and large animals Provides methods of evidence
presentation in the courtroom, the nature of court room testimony,
and the development of an expert report Veterinary Forensics:
Investigation, Evidence Collection, and Expert Testimony fills the
void of applied, real-world investigative techniques for the
collection and presentation of veterinary forensic medical and
scientific information. It will be a welcome reference to both the
student and professional in the understanding all relevant
evidentiary, investigative, and legal elements of the discipline.
