As forensic human identification receives increased global
attention, practitioners, policy makers, and students need an
appropriate resource that describes current methods and modalities
that have shaped today's policies and protocols. A supplemental
follow-up to Forensic Human Identification: An Introduction,
Advances in Forensic Human Identification covers advances in the
most well-known scientific techniques and discusses new and
developing subjects and modalities of human identification. A
collection of contributions from worldwide experts, the book
embraces a broad context and looks at several issues beyond
physical identification of human remains or offenders. The book
examines online, sexual, and biometric identities and discusses
problems associated with investigative practice, such as the
developing use of the Internet as a distribution and communication
medium for criminal activities. It also explores miscarriages of
justice that can result from flawed applications or interpretations
of forensic evidence. Finally, it looks at the future of forensic
science in the United Kingdom in light of financial challenges and
the closure of the Forensic Science Service. Where appropriate,
case studies illustrate the use of techniques and the associated
problems described in the text. The downloadable resources include
images in full color. This volume provides an important
contribution to the ongoing practitioner and academic debates
surrounding the application of forensic technologies. The insight
presented is destined to springboard further inquiry into enhanced
techniques and underlies the need for more research into the
appropriate use of identification techniques to solve the mysteries
of the unknown.
