About this book

Praise for the previous edition:

"...concise, easy to digest...suitable for most libraries...an excellent introduction to and starting point for research into forensic sciences." — American Reference Books Annual

"...fills the need for accessible, accurate information on a popular topic...Recommended for public and academic undergraduate libraries as well as high school libraries."— Library Journal Now in its third edition, this comprehensive encyclopedia gathers together in one place the core topics of forensic science and provides an overview of each, with approximately 650 entries. More than 12 essays are interspersed throughout this reliable A-to-Z reference, describing how forensic science relates to areas such as drug testing in sports, privacy concerns, misconceptions about forensic science, and the interface of forensic engineering and forensic science.
