If you are studying forensic science, or a related course such as
forensic chemistry or biology, then this book will be an
indispensable companion throughout your entire degree programme.
This 'one-stop' text will guide you through the wide range of
practical, analytical and data handling skills that you will need
during your studies. It will also give you a solid grounding in the
wider transferable skills such as teamwork and study skills. This
third edition of Practical Skills in Forensic Science builds upon
the excellent foundation of its predecessors and provides an
easy-to-read guide to help you develop the skills you need to
succeed. It retains the key features of earlier editions, with a
layout that explains the essential elements of practical techniques
and procedures in a step-by-step manner to help you understand
their application in the context of forensic science. Features
include: * Coverage of a wide range of practical aspects from
fingerprint recovery, trace evidence examination, bodily fluid
examination and DNA analysis, as well as broader skills such as
tackling numerical problems and passing exams. * Case examples,
guidelines for documentation and reporting results, plus advice on
the legal aspects of forensic science provide you with an
understanding of the professional role of a forensic scientist. *
New material on personal development planning, learning styles,
e-learning and avoiding plagiarism. * Updated sections on software
for graphical and statistical analysis. * Worked examples and 'How
To' boxes provide practical guidance and support. * Key points
highlight critical features of methodology. * Use of margin tips,
definitions and illustrations throughout. * Additional sources of
further study identified for every chapter. * Safety notes

minimise risk. * Study exercises (and answers) in each chapter help
