Description
Death, Decomposition, and Detector Dogs: From Science to Scene is a comprehensive guide to understanding the science behind human remains detector (HRD) canines. This second edition explores the anatomy and physiology of canine olfaction, enabling dogs to locate distinct odors, and reviews the science of forensic taphonomy. The book delves into the factors affecting decomposition, including environmental conditions in land and water settings, and how these impact the odor of human remains. It also covers various tools and technologies used in conjunction with HRD canines, as well as case reports highlighting the importance of considering environmental factors in search deployments. With a focus on practical applications, this book provides valuable insights for canine handlers, detectives, death investigators, crime scene personnel, and attorneys seeking to understand the science behind HRD canines.
