Over the past several years, myriad manuals on crime scene investigations have been published with each focusing on select, or partial, aspects of the investigation. Crime scene investigation, done right, is a multi-faceted process that requires various forms of evidence to be collected, examined, and analyzed. No book available has addressed procedures to present global best practices by assembling a collection of international experts to address such topics.

Manual of Crime Scene Investigation is a comprehensive collaboration of experts writing on their particular areas of expertise as relates to crime scenes, evidence, and crime scene investigation. The book outlines best practices in the field, incorporating the latest technology to collect, preserve, and enhance evidence for appropriate analysis. Various types of forensic evidence are addressed, covering chain of custody, collection, and utility of such evidence in casework, investigations, and for use in court. The approach, and use of international contributor experts, will appeal to a broad audience and be of use to forensic practitioners, and the forensic science community worldwide.

Key features:

• Assembles an international team of contributing author experts to present the latest developments in their crime scene field of specialty

• Examines global best practices and what are consistently the most reliable tactics and approach to crime scene evidence collection, preservation, and investigation

• Provides numerous photographs and diagrams to clearly illustrate chapter concepts

Manual of Crime Scene Investigation serves as a vital resource to professionals in police science and crime scene investigations, private forensic institutions, and academics researching how better real-world application of techniques can improve the reliability and utility of evidence upon forensic and laboratory analysis.

Advances in Forensic Biology and DNA Typing examines a broad range of forensic DNA applications and topics, based on internationally recognized best practices. As a contributed volume that includes chapters by experts from around the world, the book covers a broad range of forensic DNA applications and topics. This includes current methods for DNA extraction and typing as well as other technologies and emergent techniques in the field such as Trace and Touch DNA, Forensic DNA Phenotyping (FDP), Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy (FIGG), Rapid DNA Biological Fluid Identification by epigenetics, and Pharmacogenomics. The book also explores the development and usage of forensic biology for the analysis of non- human samples and the relevance of DNA databases, management systems and quality certification in forensic.

Key features:

• Highlights sources of DNA (including biological fluids, hair, bones, teeth) detailing how to address the challenges of various sample types, quantities, and environmental factors

• Presents best practices in investigative and collection procedures, as well as evaluative and testing methods, of biological samples

• Addresses both human and non- human DNA analyses and applications for both criminal and wildlife investigations

Advances in Forensic Biology and DNA Typing is a highly illustrated guide that will serve as a useful reference for forensic laboratory professionals, investigators, and students, as well as legal professionals.

This book illustrates the application of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) based detectors and scientific methods in the Forensic sciences. The introductory chapter provides metal-organic frameworks as materials for applications in sensors and reviews their photochemical and electrochemical properties. The subsequent chapter probes the interaction between Metal-Organic Frameworks and forensic samples. Further, the chapters discuss the applications of the metal-organic framework for the detection of fingerprint latent, lip-print, palm-print, pesticides, and antibiotics in forensic samples. Further, the chapters review the use of metal-organic frameworks for the detection of drugs of abuse, explosives, hazardous chemicals, and gunshots residual. Towards the end, the chapter reviews the advantages and disadvantages of MOFs during forensic sample detection and current challenges and prospects. This book provides useful information on applications of metal-organic Frameworks for forensic scientists and legal professionals.
