During the last decade, scientific studies have supported using human scent as a biometric tool and indicator of the presence or absence of an individual at a crime scene. This book focuses on some of these recent advances in the use of human scent as forensic evidence. It examines theories of human odor production, the legal significance of results, and canine scent work from multiple search categories as described in the Scientific Working Group on Dog and Orthogonal detector Guidelines (SWGDOG). It also explores current trends in scent collection techniques, including devices, materials, and storage protocols.…mehr

Autorenporträt
Paola A. Prada, Ph.D., is an intelligence community postdoctoral research fellow. Her studies encompass interdisciplinary areas such as chemistry, animal behavior, and national security to address issues that are critical to effective intelligence and defense capabilities. She has worked extensively on developing instrumental methods for human odor identification for criminal investigations. Dr. Prada has also worked with canine scent detection in the context of optimizing odor collection techniques for scent training. Kenneth G. Furton, Ph.D., is a professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Florida International University. His research has focused on the canine and instrumental detection of accelerants, biotoxins, currency, drugs, explosives, and humans (dead and alive). Dr. Furton's expertise in forensic science has been sought by the legal system for which he has testified dozens of times as an expert witness in state and federal courts.
