Forensic Criminology

Beschreibung

This book provides a much-needed sociological and criminological analysis of the context in which techniques of forensic science are applied to identify and prosecute offenders. In attempting to bring together two interdisciplinary subjects (forensics and criminology), it is the first text of its kind in the UK. Forensic Criminology will be essential for students of criminology, criminal justice, criminal investigations and crime science. It will also be useful to criminal justice practitioners.
