In forensics, there is often a difficulty conveying critical scientific terms to investigators, attorneys, juries, and even court reporters. Forensic Science Glossary is a single source reference that contains the spelling and definitions of commonly used terms found in forensic environments. This glossary of words and their meanings covers important areas of forensic science, including the relevant toxicology, documents, drug chemistry, criminalistics, ballistics, and DNA analysis. It is the first forensic glossary to integrate such a wide variety of topics.
This book provides a compact yet thorough glossary of Forensic Science terms. The definitions are clear, concise and are worded in layman's terms. The glossary covers a wide range of topics within the Forensic Science field. I recommend this book to anyone associated with the field looking for an easy reference source of simple definitions. A very, very special dedication to my friend, Puma: an avid reader and a translator (among all other things!) whose net connection, good will and good heart I am overusingconstantly: May you live long and prosper :) I hope this glossary will be of some use. Please, kiss the cat for me :)
