In order for forensic fibre examiners to fully utilize fibre and
textile evidence during their analysis, they require not only
specialised forensic knowledge but also in-depth knowledge of
fibres, yarns and fabrics themselves. Production, both the chemical
and physical structure, and the properties of these materials is
required in order to determine the value of fibre evidence. This
includes knowing production figures, fashion changes, sudden
arrivals of new materials, dye variability, and numerous other
factors that may have a bearing on the information obtained. Fully
updated with the latest advances, Forensic Examination of Fibres,
Third Edition continues in the tradition of the First (1992) and
Second Editions (1999) as the premier text on the subject of
forensic fibre analysis. The international team of contributing
authors detail the recovery of the evidence-through the different
stages of laboratory examination-to the evaluation of the meaning
of findings. The coverage has been considerably expanded, and all
material, has been revised and wholly updated. Topics covered
include examining damaged textiles, infrared microspectroscopy and
thin layer chomatography, and colour analyses. This edition also
highlights the critical role of quality assurance in ensuring the
reliability of the technical observations and results, and, in
doing so, looks at the implications of supervisory managers and
labs in the accurate and responsible analysis of such evidence.
Features include: Outlining evidentiary process from collecting and
preserving the evidence at the crime scene through the laboratory
analysis of fibres Detailing the latest developments and emerging
technologies including Kevlar and other such advances in fibre
technology Coverage of a broad array of fibres both, natural
(cellulose, protein, and mineral) and man-made fibres including
synthetic, inorganic and regenerated Forensic Examination of
Fibres, Third Edition is a much-needed update to the classic book,
serving as an indispensable reference to crime scene technicians,
laboratory forensic scientists and microscopists, students in
police, forensic, and justice science programs.
