Intersectionality theory has emerged over the past thirty years as
a way to think about the avenues by which inequalities (most often
dealing with, but not limited to, race, gender, class and
sexuality) are produced. Rather than seeing such categories as
signaling distinct identities that can be adopted, imposed or
rejected, intersectionality theory considers the logic by which
each of these categories is socially constructed as well as how
they operate within the diffusion of power relations. In other
words, social and political power are conferred through categories
of identity, and these identities bear vastly material effects.
Rather than look at inequalities as a relationship between those at
the center and those on the margins, intersectionality maps the
relative ways in which identity politics create power. Though
intersectionality theory has emerged as a highly influential school
of thought in ethnic studies, gender studies, law, political
science, sociology and psychology, no scholarship to date exists on
the evolution of the theory. In the absence of a comprehensive
intellectual history of the theory, it is often discussed in vague,
ahistorical terms. And while scholars have called for greater
specificity and attention to the historical foundations of
intersectionality theory, their idea of the history to be included
is generally limited to the particular currents in the United
States. This book seeks to remedy the vagueness and murkiness
attributed to intersectionality by attending to the historical,
geographical, and cross-disciplinary myopia afflicting current
intersectionality scholarship. This comprehensive intellectual
history is an agenda-setting work for the theory.

It is crucial that forensic science meets challenges such as
identifying hidden patterns in data, validating results for
accuracy, and understanding varying criminal activities in order to
be authoritative so as to hold up justice and public safety.
Artificial intelligence, with its potential subsets of machine
learning and deep learning, has the potential to transform the
domain of forensic science by handling diverse data, recognizing
patterns, and analyzing, interpreting, and presenting results.
Machine Learning and deep learning frameworks, with developed
mathematical and computational tools, facilitate the investigators
to provide reliable results. Further study on the potential uses of
these technologies is required to better understand their benefits.
Aiding Forensic Investigation Through Deep Learning and Machine
Learning Frameworks provides an outline of deep learning and
machine learning frameworks and methods for use in forensic science
to produce accurate and reliable results to aid investigation
processes. The book also considers the challenges, developments,
advancements, and emerging approaches of deep learning and machine
learning. Covering key topics such as biometrics, augmented
reality, and fraud investigation, this reference work is crucial
for forensic scientists, law enforcement, computer scientists,
researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors,
and students.
