As well as providing an introductory approach to the subject, the book offers further insights from multidisciplinary and applied perspectives without becoming overly dense in scientific details … This book is highly commended … Smith and Bond’s book is highly suitable as it will offer a most appropriate platform for more informed insights both to students and practitioners of either forensic science or criminal justice.
