Freckelton Ian (ed.) Forensic Analysis: Scientific and Medical Techniques and Evidence under the Microscope

ITexLi, 2021. — 183 p. — ISBN 1839689501 9781839689505 1839689528 9781839689529.This volume is an edited collection with contributions from scholars in ten countries, containing cutting-edge analyses of diverse aspects of contemporary forensic science and forensic medicine. It spans forensic gait analysis evidence, forensic analysis in wildlife investigations, mitochondrial blood-typing, DNA profiling, probabilistic genotyping, toolmark analysis, forensic osteology, obstetric markers as a diagnostic tool, salivary analysis, pharmacogenetics, and forensic analysis of herbal drugs.
This book provides information about the parameters of expertise in relation to a number of areas that are being utilised as a part of criminal investigations and that are coming before courts internationally or will soon do so. It is hoped that rigor in the evaluation of such evidence will be enhanced, a fillip for developing standards will be provided, and the incidence of miscarriages of criminal justice will be minimised.Guarding the Gait: Evaluating Forensic Gait Analysis Evidence
