Forensic science laboratories' reputations have increasingly come
under fire. Incidents of tainted evidence, false reports,
allegations of negligence, scientifically flawed testimony, or -
worse yet - perjury in in-court testimony, have all served to cast
a shadow over the forensic sciences. Instances of each are just a
few of the quality-related charges made in the last few years.
" Forensic Science Under Siege " is the first book to integrate and
explain these problematic trends in forensic science. The issues
are timely, and are approached from an investigatory, yet scholarly
and research-driven, perspective. Leading experts are consulted and
interviewed, including directors of highly visible forensic
laboratories, as well as medical examiners and coroners who are
commandeering the discussions related to these issues. Interviewees
include Henry Lee, Richard Saferstein, Cyril Wecht, and many
others.
The ultimate consequences of all these pressures, as well as the
future of forensic science, has yet to be determined. This book
examines these challenges, while also exploring possible solutions
(such as the formation of a forensic science consortium to address
specific legislative issues). It is a must-read for all forensic
scientists.
* Provides insight on the current state of forensic science,
demands, and future direction as provided by leading experts in the
field
* Consolidates the current state of standards and best-practices of
labs across disciplines
* Discusses a controversial topic that must be addressed for
political support and financial funding of forensic science to
improve
