Question Answers Forensic Science & Criminalistics Introduction to Forensic Science & Criminalistics lays down the most sophisticated aspects of a criminal investigation containing the application of Science & Law. It outlines the means & modes to tackle the criminal's depredations & his modus operandi and is a comprehensive compendium of tools and techniques needed to handle the criminal, the crime clues, and the crime sites. This introductory book in question-answer format covers numerous topics required in police investigation work with illustrations and photographs which make the subject not only easily intelligible but also a lucid and interesting reading. This book is written mainly for the non-scientific audience and should prove to be a useful guide to junior police officers, students of Forensics, trainers, and all those who are concerned with handling crime. The book begins by discussing the intersection of law and forensic science, how things become evidence, and how courts decide if an item or testimony should be permissible. It takes the evidence from crime scene investigation into laboratory analysis and even onto the autopsy table for the fullest breadth of the subject matter of any forensic text available.
