The chicken and the egg: research and innovation within forensic science.- A review of forensic operating models and their relationship to doctrine, service delivery and innovation.- Innovation through the liaison with academia and end users.- Forensic Science Innovation in the UK: Roadblocks and enablers.- On the Recognition and Mitigation of Bias in Forensic Science.- Three critical elements of start-up success.- Use of AI tools for forensic purposes: ethical and legal considerations from an EU perspective.- Forensic Biometrics: Challenges, Innovation and Opportunities.- Algorithmic Enforcement Tools: Governing Opacity with Due Process.- The Challenges of Introducing Massively Parallel Sequencing into the UK Forensic Market.- Regulatory Considerations for Translational Forensic Science.- Translational Forensic Science, a U.S. Perspective

Improved usage of forensic science evidence by legal practitioners is essential to reduce miscarriages of justice. This book presents critical insights into contemporary issues of forensic proof from a broad perspective. Using DNA and fingerprint evidence, the authors compare and contrast the science of forensics and how it is communicated to judges, juries, and counsel. With authors from Australia, the UK, and the U.S., the book also addresses how these different countries address science in the courtroom. This resource is ideal for all those who work in forensic capacities, including those scientists who increasingly are called to testify abroad.

Forensics For Dummies

A classic Golden Age mystery inspired by a real-life murder case from the 1920s. When a woman's body is found burned beyond recognition in the marsh near El Cerrito, journalist Peter and clinical psychologist Dr. Cavanagh are eager to uncover her identity and find out what happened to her.Cavanaugh's forensic discoveries tie the corpse to missing wife of a millionaire, and Peter has to use all of his craft and charm as a reporter to coax out any secrets the couple may have been hiding.The Tule Marsh Murder was inspired by a real murder case, and Dr. Cavanaugh is based on the pioneering forensic criminalist Edward Oscar Heinrich who became known as 'America's Sherlock Holmes'. Nancy Barr Mavity's mystery novels were groundbreaking in their use of science in the detection of crime.

The Tule Marsh Murder

“Propaganda Studies in Criminology constructs a missing bridge between the two critical discourses of the 20th century that most candidly confronted the emotional and moral features of populism in politics and penalty in the 20th century the confluence of which is now unmistakable in the 21st. Scholars of both fields will owe an enormous debt to this collection and its editors.”
-Joanathan Simon, Lance Robbins Professor of Criminal Justice Law, UC Berkeley Law, USA
“This is a ground-breaking collection that showcases what can be gained by using propaganda studies as the lens through which to enliven the criminological imagination. The editors and the contributing authors have produced a text of remarkable range and sophistication, transforming our understanding of “fake news” and the politics of misinformation more generally. It is an outstanding achievement.” 
-Eamonn Carrabine, Professor of Criminology, University of Essex, UK
“A blazing volume that convincingly establishes propaganda as a crucial issue for criminology. The book constitutes a critical intellectual project tracing the common elements in Nazi messaging, the US War on Drugs, Indonesian genocide, far right environmental propaganda in Aotearoa (New Zealand) and Australia and more.”
-Sarah Armstrong, Professor of Criminology, Glasgow University, UK
“Propaganda Studies in Criminology breaks new ground for the field by taking propaganda seriously as a topic. It does so in diverse and novel domains that open up the propaganda lens in a way that is theoretically fertile and substantively interesting.” 
&nbsp;-John Braithwaite, Distinguished Professor, Australian National University, Australia
This edited collection comprehensively introduces propaganda studies to criminology academics, practitioners and students. It brings to life the challenges of analyzing, researching and responding to the problems of propaganda. It uses a broad definition of ‘propaganda’ to include such phenomena as ‘fake news’ and AI or algorithmic methods of control. It includes some more classic readings and analysis of propaganda studies through contemporary case studies, such as the war on drugs. It provides a key resource for research and teaching.
Deborah H. Drake is Professor of Criminology and Social Justice at The Open University, UK.&nbsp; 
Reece Walters is Professor of Criminology at Deakin University, Australia.&nbsp;

Critical Criminological Perspectives

This edited collection reflects the diversity of gender-based violence and presents new perspectives and expands current scholarship in global contexts. It considers behaviours and actions including digital, interpersonal and institutional violence which are not readily understood as violence but are experienced as inherently harmful. It showcases how digital technology permeates violence and harm in diverse ways - whether this be via surveillance technology, harmful ideology or hate speech online or the globalised nature of the internet. With reflections on how people can research and challenge gender-based violence and harm in the future, it speaks to those interested in digital harm across Sociology, Criminology, Psychology, Youth Studies, Education, Law, Media and/or Cultural Studies.

New Perspectives on Global Gender-Based Violence

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERIn one of the most extraordinary true crime stories ever published, Broken Plea questions what really happened in the house on King Road--and the results of that investigation, still unfolding in real time, will astound you.Was there more than one killer? Had the crime scene been cleaned and sanitized before the police arrived? Was furniture staged to throw off detectives? In the aftermath of Bryan Kohberger's request to withdraw his guilty plea, there are more questions than ever before.In the early morning hours of November 13, 2022, four lives were lost in a brutal crime in Moscow, Idaho--and a nation demanded answers. When a suspect accepted a plea bargain, the story seemed settled. Justice, many believed, had been served.Broken Plea prophetically challenges that assumption.Drawing on court records, investigative timelines, witness statements, and apparently overlooked inconsistencies, this meticulously researched exposé examines how a rush to judgment may have shaped one of the most closely watched murder cases in recent memory. As the official narrative hardened, critical leads went unexplored, contradictory evidence was minimized, and alternative explanations faded from view.This book does not claim certainty where none exists. Instead, it asks the questions that were never fully pursued: What happens when pressure to close a case outweighs the search for truth? What evidence may have been sidelined, and why? And what are the consequences when a plea doesn't end scrutiny but invites it?Clear-eyed, unsparing, and deeply unsettling, Broken Plea reopens a case that never should have closed as it did--and invites readers to look again at what justice demands when the truth remains unresolved.

In one of the most extraordinary true crime stories ever published, Broken Plea questions what really happened in the house on King Road---and the results of that investigation will astound you.

Epigenetics and Human Health

Epigenetic variation has become an important complement to traditional forensic genetics, offering new ways to interpret biological traces and extract investigative information beyond sequence¿based DNA profiling. This volume brings together current approaches that apply DNA methylation and related epigenetic markers to forensic questions, reflecting the field’s rapid development and increasing methodological depth. 
The book introduces the conceptual foundations of forensic epigenetics and the laboratory and analytical techniques that support its applications. It then examines the use of methylation signatures to address challenges such as distinguishing monozygotic twins, identifying body fluids, and performing age estimation from blood, Y¿chromosome markers, semen, saliva and skeletal tissues. These chapters demonstrate how epigenetic tools can extend across biological materials commonly encountered in casework. 
Further contributions explore epigenetic strategies for postmortem interval estimation and consider how these methods may complement existing forensic anthropology and pathology approaches. A concluding chapter looks ahead to future developments, including technological, ethical and legal considerations shaping the field’s trajectory. 
By integrating molecular biology, bioinformatics, forensic science and anthropology, this volume offers a coherent resource for researchers, practitioners and students seeking to understand how epigenetic insights can strengthen forensic inference.
