Ethical Standards in Forensic Science seeks to address the myriad
practices in forensic science for a variety of evidence and
analyses. The book looks at ethics, bias, what constitutes an
expert in the field-both as a practitioner and to the court
system-as well as the standards of practice as purported by the top
forensic organizations. Coverage addresses evidence collection,
chain of custody, real versus "junk" science, the damage
questionable science can cause to a discipline and the judicial
process, testing methods, report writing, and expert witness
testimony in civil and criminal cases in a court of law. The
authors' background in engineering provides a unique perspective on
a variety of evidence and testing methods. As such, in addition to
coverage the range of evidence and topics cited in the 2009
National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Report, they address numerous
challenges that have arisen specifically in forensic engineering
cases-their specific area of expertise. Numerous case example are
provided to illustrate the inherent danger of bias, inexact
science, or expert witnesses taking dangerous and harmful liberties
on the stand. Students, lawyers, and professionals in all forensic
disciplines will find this a refreshing and accessible approach to
elucidate the problem and offer suggestions for reform and change
for the good of the entire profession.
