Every crime that is investigated undergoes some form of reconstruction, whether it
be an open-and-shut case, or a cold case from 20 years prior. Crime reconstruction
is the determination of the actions and events surrounding the commission of a crime.
It involves the use of witness, victim, and suspect statements, as well as the examination
and interpretation of physical evidence. The most objective reconstructions come from
the forensic evidence, and any statements that support the evidence are considered
more reliable. CRIME SCENE RECONSTRUCTION is a collaborative effort by leading minds
in the forensic science community. A reference for professionals, the book will aid
those involved in crime reconstruction with the formulation of forensic hypotheses
and conclusions within the limits of forensic evidence. The book will begin with chapters
on the history and philosophy of crime scene reconstruction and then will shift to
the more scientific matters of trace evidence analysis (hair and fibers, glass, paint,
etc.), shooting reconstruction, and arson reconstruction, among others. Its final
chapters will be concerned with court testimony and ethics. The book defines best
practices and procedures for this often-used, but little know investigative tool.
Contributors include some of the most high-profile and respected scientists in forensic
science. Characterizes the limits of physical evidence and what can and can't be reasonably
inferred from it
