Philosophers of science have long used reconstructive reasoning to
develop historical explanations covering the origins of natural
phenomenon. The application of the scientific method is a powerful
tool for solving crimes through reconstruction of the events.
Scientific Foundations of Crime Scene Reconstruction: Introducing
Method to Mayhem demonstrates how to use the scientific method and
exercise the critical thinking that is essential for the
development of sound data and the construction of reliable
explanations. Provides a clear yet rigorous account of the
scientific method accessible to non-philosophers Supplies examples
showing the application of scientific methods to the reconstruction
of events that leave physical evidence at crime scenes Presents
self-contained chapters-each with specific points about how a scene
reconstruction is built upon the analysis of specific physical
evidence Discusses the scope and limitations of physical evidence
and the resulting analyses that they support in crafting scientific
crime scene reconstructions Includes case studies of crime scene
reconstructions from Dr. Nordby's experience, complete with color
photographs and laboratory notes Moving systematically from case to
case, this volume is an essential reference for forensic and law
enforcement professionals who need to step into new or unfamiliar
areas to understand how science can help them do their jobs. It
enables forensic scientists to apply the natural sciences to
casework in shooting and nonshooting cases. It also educates
attorneys who need to understand scientific evidence and the
process of crime scene reconstruction from the scientific point of
view.
