A Hands-On Introduction to Forensic Science Cracking the Case Mark M. Okuda Evergreen Valley College, San Jose, California, USA

Frank H. Stephenson, PhD. Foothill College, Los Altos Hills, California, USA

Real-Life Case Scenario Provides Practical Application of Concepts One failing of many forensic science textbooks is the isolation of chapters into compartmentalized units. This format prevents students from understanding the connection between material learned in previous chapters with that of the current chapter. Using a unique format, A Hands-On Introduction to Forensic Science: Cracking the Case approaches the topic of forensic science from a real-life perspective in a way that these vital connections are encouraged and established. The book utilizes an ongoing fictional narrative throughout, entertaining students as it provides hands-on learning in order to “crack the case.” As two investigators try to solve a missing persons case, each succeeding chapter reveals new characters, new information, and new physical evidence to be processed. A full range of topics are covered, including processing the crime scene, lifting prints, trace and blood evidence, DNA and mtDNA sequencing, ballistics, skeletal remains, and court testimony. Following the storyline, students are introduced to the appropriate science necessary to process the physical evidence, including math, physics, chemistry, and biology. The final element of each chapter includes a series of costeffective, field-tested lab activities that train students in processing, analyzing, and documenting the physical evidence revealed in the narrative. Practical and realistic in its approach, this book enables students to understand how forensic science operates in the real world.

Features: • Utilizes an ongoing fictional narrative throughout the book supplemented with color photos and review questions

Contents: Crime Scene Lifting Prints Trace All about Blood DNA Quantification Expert Witness Lies? Ballistics Histology Forensic Anthropology mtDNA Sequencing STRs Population Statistics Fingerprint Analysis In the Courtroom Appendix A: Evidence Items in the Erica Holmes Missing Persons Case Appendix B: Evidence Report Appendix C: Glossary of Terms Found in the Text Appendix D: Glossary of Words You Might Hear in the Courtroom Index

Fingerprint Analysis Laboratory Workbook Hillary Moses Daluz

Chaminade University of Honolulu, Hawaii, USA

An essential learning tool for classes in fingerprinting and impression evidence, Fundamentals of Fingerprint Analysis takes students from understanding historical background to seeing how it plays out in a present-day courtroom. The book explains the chemistry of latents, proper protocols for documentation and photography, and all known techniques and methodologies for interpretation and analysis. Highlighting the ACE-V methodology (Analysis, Comparison, Evaluation – Verification), the book discusses how many points are needed for identification, examines statistics and current research, and discusses courtroom testimony and admissibility.

Fingerprint analysis may be performed as part of many job functions, including crime scene technician, latent print examiner, criminalist, latent print technician, forensic specialist, and forensic scientist. Regardless of one’s chosen career path in the forensic world, background knowledge of scientific practices is critical for success. The best way to comprehend the principles and concepts of any science learned in a classroom is to perform experiments.

The text covers the latest breakthroughs in research and includes case histories, learning objectives, chapter summaries, and end of chapter questions. Colorcoded diagrams facilitate student assimilation of the material.

Crime Scene Processing and Laboratory Workbook Patrick Jones and Ralph E. Williams Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA

The most important part of a CSI’s (crime scene investigator’s) job is accurate documentation of properly collected evidence. Documentation tells the story of the crime and can ultimately prove a suspect guilty. Through an array of specific exercises and actual document templates used in practice, Crime Scene Processing and Laboratory Workbook teaches students the proper physical evidence collection and processing techniques which will enable them to master the skills necessary to become a proficient CSI. Building on prior knowledge and facilitating hands-on experience, this laboratory manual allows students to practice the methods, procedures, and techniques associated with forensic science, crime scene investigation, documentation, and evidence handling. It follows a single hypothetical case to show each of the investigative techniques in the context of a real crime. The text presents over 20 separate exercises that alternate between investigating physical evidence specific to the crime scene and evidence specific to the laboratory. The book also provides useful forms, including the laboratory submission request, that duplicate realworld experience and demonstrate how to properly collect, record, and submit evidence.

Lynda Kopishke, MSN, RN, LNCC Legal Nurse Consultant, Wilmington, Delaware, USA

Ann M. Peterson. EdD, MSN, RN, FNP-BC, LNCC Legal Nurse Consultant, Medford, Massachusetts, USA

“The book covers practically every aspect of legal nurse consulting that a student must know … . This is the basic book that should act as the bare minimum for all LNCs.” —Puneet Setia and Avneesh Gupta, Anil Aggrawal’s Internet Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology

“This book is a great reference ... . The role of the legal nurse consultant is clearly spelled out and is described in multiple settings. The sections on Administrative Health Care Law (especially Fraud and the Life Care Planner sections) are well written with adequate detail. The online references included with each chapter are very valuable. The section on Ambulatory Care is very good as well. The examples of patients in the ED are great. One of the best things about this book is the review of common allegations and the deposition transcripts. This really gives the students a feel for the process and what to expect. The glossary and guide to acronyms are also very helpful.” —Valerie Gooder, Weber State University

Over the past generation, the practice of legal nurse consulting has grown to include areas such as life care planning, risk management, and administrative law. It has also taken on a more diversified role in both criminal and civil law and courtroom proceedings. First published in 1997, this practical resource provides professionals in the field with an authoritative reference that helps further define and grow their roles.
