This book discusses the intense practical and theoretical
challenges of forensic science evidence and the pivotal role it
plays in modern criminal proceedings. A global team of prominent
scholars and practitioners explores the contemporary challenges of
forensic science evidence and expert witness testimony from a
variety of theoretical, practical and jurisdictional perspectives.
Both the methodological integrity and the reliability of forensic
science have been questioned in recent official reports and
inquiries. The wide-ranging contributions to this book offer
thorough and far-reaching explorations of the institutional
organisation of forensic science, its epistemological and
methodological foundations, and its procedural regulation,
applications and evaluation in jurisdictions across Europe and
beyond. The development and reform of expert evidence law and
procedural regulation are reconsidered from a range of legal and
scientific perspectives. Brimming with comparative and
interdisciplinary insight, this book also explores the
transnational dimensions of contemporary forensic science,
assessing its value and appropriate uses as expert evidence in
criminal investigations, prosecutions and trials. This contemporary
book will be essential reading for scholars, advanced students,
practitioners and policymakers concerned with the role of forensic
science in the administration of criminal justice. Contributors

It took less than three minutes, climaxed by Warrington's rending
scream as two Asylum medicos strapped and bundled him into the
Ambulance. Inside the house it is as silent as the grave. Mam and
Dad cling to each other motionless. The atmosphere is electric and
overpowering, as if someone has suddenly died. In More Tales from
Planet Gumption, Broadwater's Lunatic Asylum is an impressive
building with tranquil landscaped gardens that overlook Morecambe
Bay. But once behind the walls of the stately building the noise,
the screams of anguish from wretched male patients arouse DI
Braithwaite's suspicions. Surely Doug is not as mad as these poor
souls? Down below, the swirling mass of demented men, many in tears
wail like dogs. She had to get out of this place.
