Forensic science has undergone dramatic progress in recent years,
including in the areas of DNA collection and analysis and the
reconstruction of crime scenes. However, too few professionals are
equipped with the knowledge necessary to fully apply the potential
of science in civil, criminal, and family legal matters. Featuring
contributions from renowned experts in the forensic, scientific,
and legal professions, Forensic Science and Law: Investigative
Applications in Criminal, Civil, and Family Justice communicates
the wide range of methods and approaches used for achieving justice
in these circumstances. A solid grounding in the underlying
principles of our legal system provides a context for understanding
how these methods are applied. The book brings together the words
and thoughts of diverse professionals whose common goal is to
uncover the truth. About the editors... Cyril H. Wecht, M.D., J.D.,
