- Provides a clear yet rigorous account of the scientific method accessible to non-philosophers
- Supplies examples showing the application of scientific methods to the reconstruction of events that leave physical evidence at crime scenes
- Presents self-contained chapters—each with specific points about how a scene reconstruction is built upon the analysis of specific physical evidence
- Discusses the scope and limitations of physical evidence and the resulting analyses that they support in crafting scientific crime scene reconstructions
- Includes case studies of crime scene reconstructions from Dr. Nordby’s experience, complete with color photographs and laboratory notes
Moving systematically from case to case, this volume is an essential reference for forensic and law enforcement professionals who need to step into new or unfamiliar areas to understand how science can help them do their jobs. It enables forensic scientists to apply the natural sciences to casework in shooting and nonshooting cases. It also educates attorneys who need to understand scientific evidence and the process of crime scene reconstruction from the scientific point of view.
