Covers new trace evidence techniques and expanding areas of
analysis, along with key theory and applications Developed around
the need for updated information in the disciplines of trace
evidence the Handbook of Trace Evidence Analysis focuses on the
increasing awareness and need for validation, modern methods for
addressing and controlling contamination, the shift towards
incorporating statistical analyses into the interpretation phase
and cutting edge research into new forensic science methods and
their application. Beginning with an overview of the topic and
discussing the important role that information derived from trace
materials can provide during investigations, the book then presents
chapters on key techniques. The first being the critical nature of
microscopy, and the methods employed for the recognition,
collection, and preservation of trace evidence. Subsequent chapters
review the core disciplines of trace evidence examination: paints
and polymers, hairs, fibers and textiles and glass. Each chapter
contains in-depth discussions on the origin of the materials
involved, including any natural or synthetic processes involved in
their production, the nuances involved in their detection, and the
methods of analysis that are used to extract valuable information
from samples. In addition, suggested workflows in method and
testing selections, as well as addressing specific scientific
challenges as well as the limitations of knowledge on the transfer,
persistence and background abundance of trace materials are
discussed. The book ends by examining the interpretation of trace
evidence findings from a historical perspective and examining the
methods that are currently being developed. Provides an in-depth
introduction to the general area of trace evidence and discusses
current and new techniques Consolidates trace evidence and
materials categories of testing into one reference series Offers a
detailed focus on technical approaches and guidelines to trace
evidence Includes analytical schemes/workflows and valuable guides
for the interpretation of data and results The Handbook of Trace
Evidence will appeal to forensic science academics, students, and
practitioners in the trace evidence and materials science
disciplines, as well as DNA analysts, toxicologists, forensic
anthropologists, crime laboratory managers, criminal justice
students and practitioners, and legal professionals. It would also
be a valuable resource for every crime laboratory reference
library.
