The O.J. Simpson trial. The Lindbergh kidnapping. The death of
Marilyn Monroe. The assassination of the Romanovs. The Atlanta
child murders. All controversial cases. All investigated with the
latest techniques in forensic science. Nationally respected
investigators Joe Nickell and John Fischer explain the science
behind the criminal investigations that have captured the nation's
attention. Crime Science is the only comprehensive guide to
forensics. Without being overly technical or treating scientific
techniques superficially, the authors introduce readers to the work
of firearms experts, document examiners, fingerprint technicians,
medical examiners, and forensic anthropologists. Each topic is
treated in a separate chapter, in a clear and understandable style.
Nickell and Fisher describe fingerprint classification and
autopsies, explain how fibers link victims to their killers, and
examine the science underlying DNA profiling and toxicological
analysis. From weapons analysis to handwriting samples to shoe and
tire impressions, Crime Science outlines the indispensable tools
and techniques that investigators use to make sense of a crime
scene. Each chapter closes with a study of a well-known case,
revealing how the principles of forensic science work in
practice.
