This edited volume examines the performance and role of scientific
experts in modern European courts of law and police investigations.
It discusses cases from criminal, civil and international law to
parse the impact of forensic evidence and expertise in different
European countries. The contributors show how modern forensic
science and technology are inextricably entangled with political
ideology, gender norms and changes in the law and legal systems.
Discussing fascinating case studies, they highlight how the
ideology of authoritarian and liberal regimes has affected the
practical enactment of forensic expertise. They also emphasise the
influence of images of masculinity and femininity on the
performance of experts and on their assessment of evidence, victims
and perpetrators. This book is an important contribution to our
knowledge of modern European forensic practices. -- .
