Description
A comprehensive introduction to Forensic Genetics has been completely revised and updated. This accessible textbook provides a complete overview of the field, from the collection of DNA evidence at the scene of a crime to its presentation in a legal context. With full colour illustrations throughout, it includes numerous references to relevant casework and self-assessment questions to aid student understanding. The text is structured to provide key concepts needed to fully appreciate Forensic Genetics, followed by an examination of the latest developments in the field. The book now covers non-human forensic genetics, including identification of bacteria, viruses, animals, and plants, in a new chapter. This edition includes a companion website and is part of the Forensic Science Society's 'Essentials of Forensic Science' series. Suitable for advanced level undergraduates and new practitioners to the field, this revised edition offers greater in-depth coverage of kinship problems and provides a complete overview of Forensic Genetics.
