Designed for forensic science students, Crime Reconstruction is a guide to the interpretation of physical evidence. This collaborative effort by internationally known and respected forensic science practitioners with generations of case experience covers arson reconstruction, trace evidence interpretation, advanced bloodstain interpretation, and reconstructionist ethics. Additional chapters cover the subjects of shooting incident reconstruction, interpreting digital evidence, stager crime scenes, and examiner bias.
Crime Reconstruction was created to aid those learning about crime reconstruction by outlining the formulation of forensic hypotheses and conclusions that stay within the known limits of forensic evidence.
An essential text for emerging courses in crime reconstruction, this book is ideal for criminalistics and crime scene investigation classes. Its supplements include an Instructor's Manual and PowerPoint slides, and pedagogical elements such as case studies, bloodstain pattern experiments, and exercises.
