This book explores the interaction between science and society and
the development of forensic science as well as the historical roots
of crime detection in colonial India. Covering a period from the
mid-19th to mid-20th century, the author examines how British
colonial rulers changed the perception of crime which prevailed in
the colonial states and introduced forensic science as a measure of
criminal identification in the Indian subcontinent. The book traces
the historical background of the development and use of forensic
science in civil and criminal investigation during the colonial
period, and explores the extent to which forensic science has
proven useful in investigation and trials. Connecting the
historical beginning of forensic science with its socio historical
context and diversity of scientific application for crime
detection, this book sheds new light on the history of forensic
science in colonial India. Using an interdisciplinary approach
incorporating science and technology studies and history of crime
detection, the book will be of interest to researchers in the
fields of forensic science, criminology, science and technology
studies, law, South Asian history and colonial history.
