The Casebook of Forensic Detection: How Science Solved 100 of the World's Most Baffling Crimes - Hardcover
Inhaltsangabe
Outlining the development of forensics from the 19th century to the present day, this text is broken down by 17 main types of forensics, with cases arranged chronologically within type, including: DNA testing; handwriting analysis; hypnosis; odontology (identifying criminals by the teeth marks they left on their victims) psychological profiling; and other techniques. Included is the story of how forensics experts were able to identify a person with only one thousandth of her body (a few hairs and nail and tooth fragments), and the tale of how a psychological profile helped catch a dangerously insane criminal who drank his victims' blood.

Aus dem Klappentext
The Casebook of Forensic Detection A missing persons case is solvedfour decades after the victims disappearance. A twisted piece of metal yields conclusive proof of a terrorist bomb aboard Pan Am Flight 103. A murder suspects face is aged through computer enhancementand a killer is caught and convicted eighteen years after the crime. Today, what once was the stuff of science fiction has become fascinating fact. In The Casebook of Forensic Detection, crime-writing specialist Colin Evans recounts one hundred groundbreaking cases that have had a lasting impact on criminal investigation and trial proceedings. Spanning more than two centuries in the development of modern forensic procedures, this lively, eye-opening book examines the investigative tools that scientists, law enforcement officials, and legal experts use "to identify that which we cant see, and analyze that which we can." Packed with enough mystery and intrigue to satisfy the most avid true-crime buff, the cases illustrate the invaluable contribution made by forensic scientists. From fingerprinting and ballistics to toxicology, psychological profiling, and DNA typing, fifteen different fields of forensics are examined, each accompanied by a brief introduction and real-life examples of practical applications. Along the way, Evans brings to light the work of early forensic pioneers such as Sir Bernard Spilsbury, the doctor who took pathology out of the morgue and splashed it across the headlines of newspapers around the world, as well as such modern-day titans of technology as Dr. Alec Jeffreys, the discoverer of DNA "fingerprinting." True-crime aficionados will be rewarded by absorbing details from some of the most famous cases of all time, from Bruno Hauptmann and Sacco and Vanzetti to John Wayne Gacy and Ted Bundy (who was identified through odontology, the study of teeth marks left on crime victims). The less well-known cases prove equally intriguing, among them Australias legendary Shark Arm Murder case, famous for its fact-is-stranger-than-fiction conclusion. The evidence is clear. Blending history, mystery, and scientific research, The Casebook of Forensic Detection adds up to engrossing, cant-put-down excitement.
