Forensic Archaeology
New!
Color Atlas of Forensic Toolmark Identification Nicholas Petraco John Jay College, New York, USA
In the wake of the Daubert ruling, the use of forensic toolmark evidence in court has been problematic, in that the conclusions of forensic scientists as to toolmark origin often lack scientifically sound statistical proof. In the Color Atlas of Forensic Toolmark Identification, noted forensic expert Nicholas Petraco helps move toolmark examination from an art to a science. The first part of the book contains an anthology of tried and true methods, procedures, and traditional techniques used by practitioners of this discipline for over a century. It contains rationales and methodologies for casework, discussion of the use of new materials and techniques for preparation of known standards, and the application of various methods of statistical proof to further establish toolmark examination as a sound scientific endeavor. The second section contains a compilation of commonly used hand tools and the marks they typically produce. Provides clear instruction on how to: • Use lenses and microscopes to view images of toolmarks • Make accurate and precise measurements of tools on macroscopic and microscopic scales • Properly photograph toolmark evidence • Compare a subject tool with the questioned toolmarks to determine toolmark origin
About the Author Nicholas Petraco earned a B.S. in chemistry and an M.S. in forensic science from John Jay College of Criminal Justice, the City University of New York. He served as a detective/criminalist at New York City’s Police Laboratory from 1968 to 1990 and held the position of senior forensic microscopist of the laboratory’s trace section between 1982 and 1990, when he became a private forensic consultant. Mr. Petraco has helped educate thousands of forensic scientists, worked on more than 5000 death investigations on behalf of prosecution and defense attorneys, and testified as an expert in more than 500 trials conducted in local, state, and federal criminal and civil courts.
Examines marks made by a range of tools, including: • Screwdrivers • Crowbars and prybars • Handsaws • Hammers • Hatchets and Axes • Wrenches • Vise grips • Pliers • Wire cutters • Metal snips • Crimping tools • Knives and scissors • Chisels and punches • Drill bits More than 400 color photos enhance the text, and numerous case studies describe evidence found and conclusions drawn from the evidence.

Forensic Chemistry Implementing Quality in Laboratory Policies and Processes Using Templates, Project Management, and Six Sigma Edited by
Donnell R. Christian, Jr. and Stephanie Drilling Professional Business Solutions, O'Fallon, Missouri, USA
In order to gain accreditation, every laboratory must have a superior quality assurance program. The keys to a successful program are the operational and technical manuals and associated documents which define the program and its various components. Written by experts with global experience in setting up laboratories, Implementing Quality in Laboratory Policies and Processes: Using Templates, Project Management, and Six Sigma provides templates for the various policies, procedures, and forms that should be contained in the quality assurance, operational, and technical manuals of a laboratory seeking accreditation. Templates for the entire project life cycle The book begins with a general introduction and overview of quality assurance and then moves on to cover implementation strategies. It contains best practices and templates for the project management of the design and implementation of the laboratory operational and technical manuals required to establish a quality assurance program. The templates span the entire project life cycle, from initiation, to planning, to execution, to monitoring, and finally, to closure. The book also examines how Six Sigma concepts can be used to optimize laboratories, and contains templates that cover administrative issues, quality assurance, sample control, and health and safety issues. In addition, there is a section of criteria files that relate the individual document templates to specific accreditation criterion.

This edition adds chapters on drugfacilitated sexual assault, geographic profiling, medical examination of sexually abused children, and linkage analysis.
Badly decomposed or mummified corpses and restrictions found in conservative branches of some religions often make autopsies impossible to perform. In addition, backlogs at the coroner’s office can create situations where the personnel cannot keep up with the cases. The techniques shown in this color atlas provide methods for performing autopsies that are more efficient and minimally invasive. These procedures utilize state-ofthe-art imaging technologies which uncover information that would be otherwise unattainable.
