Shooting Incident Reconstruction, Third Edition, offers a thorough
explanation of matters from simple to complex to help the reader
understand the factors surrounding ballistics, trajectory, and
shooting scenes. Forensic scientists, law enforcement, and crime
scene investigators are often tasked with reconstruction of events
based on crime scene evidence, along with the subsequent analysis
of that evidence. The use and misuse of firearms to perpetrate
crimes from theft to murder necessitates numerous invitations to
reconstruct shooting incidents. The discharge of firearms and the
behavior of projectiles create many forms of physical evidence
that, through proper testing and interpretation by a skilled
forensic scientist, can establish what did and what did not occur.
Written by the world's most well-respected shooting scene and
ballistics experts, the book addresses the terminology, science,
and factors involved in reconstructing shooting incident events to
solve forensic cases. It covers the full range of related topics
including: the range from which a firearm was discharged; the
sequence of shots in a multiple discharge shooting incident; the
position of a firearm at the moment of discharge; and the position
of a victim at the moment of impact. The probable flight path of a
projectile and the manner in which a firearm was discharged are
also discussed. Case studies illustrate real-world application of
technical concepts, supported by over 200 full-color diagrams and
photographs. This book will be of value to practicing forensic
scientists (firearm and toolmark examiners), ballistics experts,
crime scene personnel, police departments, forensic consultants
(generalists), attorneys and judges, medical examiners (coroners),
and forensic pathologists.
