Handbook of Bloodstain Pattern Analysis (eBook, PDF)

Produktbeschreibung

The Handbook of Bloodstain Pattern Analysis captures the latest understanding of the science that supports bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) and includes the results of numerous research studies using modern technologies not found in previously published books. It provides the BPA community with a modern, up-to-date reference and training manual to outline and validate the utility, repeatability, and reliability of BPA science.

BPA has recently been presented in the news media as an example of "junk" science used in a handful of cases involving wrongful convictions. However, the reality is that the primary issue for BPA in these wrongful convictions is not the science: it is the result of substandard training and the lack of experience of BPA analysts, prior to beginning casework and testifying in court as experts. As such, this book is written to serve as an essential study guide for analysts preparing to sit for the International Association for Identification (IAI) Bloodstain Pattern Analyst Certification exam. The contents of the book are guided by the ANSI/ASB Standards for a Bloodstain Pattern Analysis Training Program. Each chapter has been written by top experts conversant on the relevant BPA, BPA terminology, forensic science, physics, fluid dynamics, crime scene analysis, education/training, bias, and current relevant legal considerations for use of BPA in court.

Handbook of Bloodstain Pattern Analysis is the most up-to-date resource on BPA currently available, providing a definitive training manual for practitioners, and an essential reference for forensic pathologists, police investigators, crime scene investigators, attorneys, and students enrolled in forensic science university courses.

Autorenporträt

Toby L. Wolson has a Master of Science degree from Michigan State University. He retired after 33 years of service as a criminalist and supervisor in the Forensic Biology Section of the Miami-Dade Police Department Forensic Services Bureau. He has received forensic training in serology, DNA (RFLP, PM, HLA DQ-alpha and STR), and bloodstain pattern analysis. Mr. Wolson is certified as a molecular biology technical specialist by the American Board of Criminalistics (ABC) and as a bloodstain pattern analyst by the International Association for Identification (IAI).
