Description
Crime Reconstruction is a working guide to the interpretation of physical evidence, designed for the forensic generalist and
those with multiple forensic specialties. It was developed to aid these forensic reconstructionists with the formulation of hypotheses
and conclusions that stay within the known limits of forensic evidence. Crime Reconstruction begins with chapters on the history
and ethics of crime reconstruction, and then shifts to the more applied subjects of general reconstruction methods and practice standards.
It concludes with chapters on courtroom conduct and evidence admissibility, to prepare forensic reconstructionists for what awaits them
when they take the witness stand.
Crime Reconstruction is a watershed collaborative effort by internationally known, qualified
and respected forensic science practitioners with generations of case experience. Forensic pioneers such as John D. DeHaan, John I.
Thornton, and W. Jerry Chisum contribute chapters on arson reconstruction, trace evidence interpretation, advanced bloodstain interpretation,
and reconstructionist ethics. Other chapters cover the subjects of shooting incident reconstruction, interpreting digital evidence,
staged crime scenes, and examiner bias. Rarely have so many forensic giants collaborated, and never before have the natural limits of
physical evidence been made so clear.
Audience
Forensic examiners, forensic scientists (including fingerprint, ballistics and trace evidence experts), crime lab personnel, and special
victim and criminal investigators. Law enforcement officials, forensic medical personnel (forensic nurses, pathologists, etc.), and criminal
lawyers.
