  This book provides a clear and authoritative introduction to forensic science. It is comprehensive in that it covers the core topics throughout the process of doing forensic science: from collecting evidence at the crime scene; through the analysis of that evidence; through to the presentation of the scientific findings in court.

  Scientifically rigorous, the book is primarily aimed at undergraduates starting out on forensic science degree programmes or those taking a forensic science elective module.

  A useful and relevant text which serves as a primer for students to
  understand current processes and structures. Well laid out and
  illustrated; a very readable text which is objective and factual in its
  presentation.
