Guide to Information Sources in the Forensic Science

From the O. J. Simpson case to the current "CSI" TV series, more and more people are aware of and curious about the world of forensic science. Cynthia Holt takes that interest and directs it toward the literature that supports, and defines the study of how evidence is discovered at a crime scene, interpreted in a lab, and used in a court of law. Her bibliography, grouped by type of material, covers topics such as ballistics, DNA analysis, entomology, expert witnessing, and facial imaging/reconstruction, as well as contributions from academic fields such as anthropology, linguistics and engineering.
