Description
Forensic Criminology: the scientific study of crime and criminals for the purposes of addressing investigative and legal issues.
It is a science, a behavioral science, and a forensic science. This text is intended to educate students in an applied fashion regarding
the nature and extent of forensic casework that is supported by, dependent upon, and interactive with research, theory, and knowledge
derived from criminology. It is also intended to act as a preliminary guide for practitioners working with and within related criminal
justice professions. Particularly those involved with assisting investigations, administrative inquiries, legal proceedings or providing
expert findings or testimony under oath. It is offered as an applied scientific sub-discipline within the domain of general criminology,
as well as a roadmap to the forensic realm for the uninitiated.
Written by the authors of the best-selling Criminal Profiling,
now in its third edition, and the groundbreaking Forensic Victimology, Forensic Criminology provides a bridge between the broad
constructs of theoretical criminology and the forensic examination of individual cases. It serves as a textbook for college and university
coursework, as a manual for practitioners, and as career guide for students.
Audience
Undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in forensic criminology in both sociology and criminal justice departments. Practicing forensic professionals.
