Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States
Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work.

Dermatoglyphics in Medical Disorders
The skin on the fingertips and palmar and plantar surfaces of man is not smooth. It is grooved by curious ridges, which form a variety of configurations. These ridge configurations have attracted the at tention of laymen for millenia. They have also evoked the serious interest of scientists for more than three centuries.

Fingerprints and Other Ridge Skin Impressions features the insight of a recognized team of authoritie...

Practical Aspects of Rape Investigation
Less than half of all rapes believed to occur are reported to law enforcement, and of those assailants arrested even fewer are convicted of rape. This problem is now being addressed by all professions whose work brings them into contact with the victim or the offender. This Third Edition of Practical Aspects of Rape Investigation: A Multidi
Practical Aspects of Interview and Interrogation
What makes a person confess to a crime he did not commit? Was he coerced? Is he trying to protect someone else? Interrogation has come under attack as opponents focus on false confessions. However, most cases are still resolved by confession, not forensic evidence. Among the new topics covered in the Second Edition of this bestselling book, Practic
