STM publisher Elsevier has announced the publication of Forensic Investigations: An Introduction by Brent E. Turvey and Stan Crowder. Using cases from the authors' extensive files, it provides an overview of major subjects related to forensic inquiry and evidence examination. The book will prepare criminal justice and criminology students in forensic programs for more specialised courses and provide a valuable resource to newly employed forensic practitioners. Elsevier also announced the publication of five additional forensic science books.
Forensic Investigations: An Introduction addresses the accumulated myths and misconceptions regarding forensic investigators and the subsequent forensic investigations they help to conduct. It helps readers understand the role of the forensic investigator; the nature and variety of forensic investigations that take place in the justice system; and the mechanisms by which such investigations become worthy as evidence in court.
The six new forensic science titles are: Forensic Investigations: An Introduction by Brent E. Turvey and Stan Crowder; Osteoarchaeology: A Guide to the Macroscopic Study of Human Skeletal Remains by Efthymia Nikita; Essentials of Medicolegal Death Investigation by Matthew Lunn; Forensic Science Reform: Protecting the Innocent by Wendy Koen and C. Michael Bowers; Human Remains: Another Dimension - The Application of Imaging to the Study of Human Remains by Tim Thompson and David Errickson; and Creating Digital Faces for Law Enforcement by Michael W. Streed.
In order to meet content needs in forensic science, Elsevier uses proprietary tools to identify the gaps in coverage of the topics. Editorial teams strategically fill those gaps with content written by key influencers in the field, giving students, faculty and researchers the content they need to answer challenging questions and improve outcomes. The new books, which will educate the next generation of forensic scientists, and provide critical foundational content for information professionals, are key examples of how Elsevier is enabling science to drive innovation.
