Description
Forensic biology is a complex and fascinating field that plays a crucial role in legal investigations. This fully revised and updated edition of Essential Forensic Biology provides an accessible overview of the subject, covering the science behind biological evidence and its application in forensic cases. The book explores the range of organisms used as evidence in forensic investigations, including invertebrates, vertebrates, plants, and microbes. It delves into the decay process and examines the role of forensic indicators such as human fluids and tissues, including bloodstain pattern analysis, hair, teeth, bones, and wounds. The new chapter on wildlife forensics looks at welfare legislation, CITES, and the use of forensic techniques to investigate criminal activity such as wildlife trafficking and dog fighting. With its expanded coverage of molecular techniques, this edition also covers the use of DNA and RNA for individual identification and the discussion of ethical issues associated with DNA databases.
