Driving Forensic Innovation in the 21st Century

Crossing the Valley of Death

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

A dark, suspenseful, Wisconsin-set thriller with a rich (opened) vein of pitch-black humour, this standalone novel sees No Rest for the Wicked's pathologist heroine Dolores Diaz return to the Midwest to investigate a suspicious, grisly death in a small-town slaughterhouse. Perfect for fans of&nbsp;Ronald Malfi and Rachel Harrison. A lot has happened in Dolores Hawthorne's life since the events of last Halloween. She's divorced, traded being a forensic pathologist for a job as a medical examiner, and now lives in small-town Wisconsin, close-but not too close-to her family. Dolores doesn't have much in the way of work, but that all changes when a body is found at the local slaughterhouse. Benedict Marcy owned Marcy's Meats, and is affectionately called Mr. Mercy across the region. This high-profile case quickly catches the attention of Dolores's friends at the FBI. From the very beginning, this case is full of contradictions and surprises, and the team quickly learns someone is willing to go to extreme lengths to stop them from finding out the truth behind Benedict Marcy's murder.

Where There's Smoke

The first major publication on mass fatality management when it was published in 1999, the new edition of this bestseller is greatly revised and expanded. Eight new chapters include such topics as international resources, multi-national events, data management, identification management, repatriation, mass burial, and management of contaminated human remains. This revision is based on world events of the past 15 years, many of which the author managed. It includes expanded information on morgue operations, reflects increasing sensitivity to cultural differences, and provides the latest direction for handling the media.

A Field Guide, Second Edition

Mass Fatality and Casualty Incidents

A fingerprint on a glass. DNA on a weapon. Blood on clothing. Fibres linking two places. A phone near the scene. 
They sound like answers. In reality, they are often the beginning of the questions. 
A Trace, Not a Truth takes readers inside the fascinating world of forensic evidence to explain what DNA, fingerprints, bloodstains, fibres, firearms evidence, toxicology, autopsies, digital records and other traces can genuinely tell investigators-and where their limits begin. 
Written for true-crime readers rather than laboratory specialists, Sky Adler strips away the technical jargon and explores the difference between finding evidence and interpreting it. Can DNA reveal how it got somewhere? Can a fingerprint tell us when it was left? Does gunshot residue prove someone fired a weapon? Can an autopsy pinpoint an exact time of death? And when an expert says the odds are one in a billion, what does that number actually mean? 
Along the way, the book examines transfer, contamination, probability, human judgement, laboratory error, wrongful conclusions and the forensic evidence that can exclude the innocent as powerfully as it can implicate a suspect. 
For anyone who watches true crime and has ever heard the words the evidence matched, this book asks the more important question: 
Matched-but what does it actually prove?

DNA, Blood, Fingerprints, Fibres and What Forensics Can, and Cannot, Prove

A Trace, Not a Truth

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.

Practical Aspects of Criminal and Forensic Investigations

The third edition of this perennial bestseller continues to cover the principles of kinesics, including how to determine behavior from speech and body language, and how behavior is often exhibited in written statements. Addressing current issues faced by professional investigative interviewers, this edition adds chapters covering the electronic recording of interviews, tools of influence and compliance, interviewing psychopaths, interviewing children, and false confessions. The author also discusses new techniques based on current research and the increased demands for expert testimony to be scientifically based. This edition also provides new photographs and updates existing ones.

Principles of Kinesic Interview and Interrogation, Third Edition

“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.

Propaganda Studies in Criminology

Constructions of Cartridges: Military, Law Enforcement, and Civilian Weapons, Second Edition, is a technical reference providing comprehensive information on the constructions of all kinds of modern cartridges. Covering applications in military, civilian, and law enforcement fields, this updated edition provides a systematic description of constructions of cartridges for rifled weapons, smoothbore weapons, and firing devices for various purposes, based on the cartridge classification established in the C.I.P. Tables and ANSI/SAAMI Standards.The book contains over 300 detailed technical drawings of cartridges and their components, including primers, cartridge cases, and bullets, with the necessary views, sections, and cross-sections illustrated. Readers will also find reference materials with the chemical formulations of primer compositions, propellants, and pyrotechnic compositions. The details provided in the book offer a thorough, comprehensive understanding of the constructions of various kinds of cartridges and the features of their functioning when fired from different kinds of weapons. In addition, the book is written in simple, accessible language, without complex mathematical expressions and graphs that would otherwise complicate the understanding of key concepts.Designed for professionals involved in the production, testing, and quality control of cartridges; shooting training centers; military and civilian educational institutions and organizations; forensic ballistics and firearms experts; as well as for owners and firearms enthusiasts, this book is an essential tool for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the constructions and characteristics of cartridges.

Constructions of Cartridges

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.

Criminal Psychology & Behavioral Profiling

SpringerBriefs in Criminology

SpringerBriefs in Crime and Place

This brief offers a concise, conceptually grounded analysis of how place-based findings about crime are produced, interpreted, and translated into policy. Anchored in the criminology of place tradition and illustrated through a detailed case study of Mexico City, it introduces the "place specification framework" (PSF), a standard for making explicit the choices that determine what a crime map, hotspot, or ranking of places actually means.The book starts from one of the field's central achievements, the finding that a small share of places accounts for a disproportionate share of crime, and asks what exactly is being observed when a map appears to show where the problem is. It argues that place-based findings are not self-evident descriptions of urban reality but conditional interpretations that depend on three specification choices: the behavioral setting or unit of place, the link between construct, indicator, and denominator, and the local context or interaction horizon.Drawing on more than one million victims recorded in criminal investigations and assigned to the city's blocks between 2019 and 2023, the Mexico City case demonstrates that the same city yields different priority places depending on whether victimization is measured as counts, harm, resident-based rates, or exposure-adjusted rates. It also shows how a typology of five block types changes the meaning of the unit of place, how persistence differs between victim counts and harm, and how blocks at the edge of current hotspots are more likely than other blocks to become hotspots the following year.The final chapter connects analysis to action, showing what the framework changes for hotspot interpretation, cumulative and comparative research, intervention targeting, and policy evaluation. Rather than questioning that crime concentrates or that place matters, the book clarifies the conditions under which place-based patterns become meaningful, comparable, and actionable evidence. With practical implications for urban safety and policy targeting, this book is an essential resource for researchers, analysts, and policymakers interested in the spatial dimensions of crime and evidence-informed intervention.

Precarious Futures: Crime, Technology and the Web explores rapidly changing social relationships within an increasingly interconnected digital world. Challenging conventional understandings of cybercrime and questioning the continued adequacy of established criminological frameworks, it argues, inter alia, that relative deprivation, reworked as a form of post-industrial precarity, provides a powerful foundation for understanding crime and deviance in a hyper-connected, hyper-commercial neoliberal society. Drawing on empirical research, social theory, and contemporary debates on artificial intelligence, big data, surveillance, hacktivism, and digital power, the book examines how the Web has transformed opportunities for crime while reshaping the practices of governance and prediction. In doing so, Hamerton and Webber advance new theoretical models: temporal relative deprivation; the metaopticon; techniques of normalisation; and the precariousness of predictive systems, to explain the dynamics of crime and social control in an age of pervasive surveillance and artificial general intelligence. Precarious Futures advances a transdisciplinary critical digital criminology for understanding the uncertainties of the digital age. It will be essential reading for scholars and students of criminology and sociology, as well as researchers and practitioners in cyber security, computer science, artificial intelligence studies, and related fields.Christopher Hamerton is Programme Director in Criminology and Law at the School of Policy &amp; Global Affairs, City St Georges, University of London, UK.Craig Webber is Associate Professor in Criminology in the Department of Sociology, Social Policy and Criminology at the University of Southampton, UK.
