This volume introduces the laboratory terms that are crucial to the interpretation and understanding of laboratory report findings. The definitions and accompanying illustrations come from various disciplines including toxicology, drug chemistry, criminalistics, bioscience/DNA, firearms/ballistics, forensic pathology, and law. The illustrations communicate the use of laboratory instruments and investigative and laboratory methods of analysis. These detailed definitions and illustrations are valuable references to nonscientific professionals including police investigators interpreting lab reports, court reporters, and prosecutors and defense attorneys preparing for trial.

As the already expansive terrain of forensic science continues to expand its boundaries, the number of attendant technical terms continues to grow as well. A glossary which provides succinct, plain-English explanations for such teims has clear value, because it may help bridge communications barriers that may otherwise separate scientist from non-scientist, and which may, as well, act as a language chasm drawing apart one scientist from another.

Matching DNA samples from crime scenes and suspects is rapidly becoming a key source of evidence for use in our justice system. DNA Technology in Forensic Science offers recommendations for resolving crucial questions that are emerging as DNA typing becomes more widespread. The volume addresses key issues: Quality and reliability in DNA typing, including the introduction of new technologies, problems of standardization, and approaches to certification. DNA typing in the courtroom, including issues of population genetics, levels of understanding among judges and juries, and admissibility. Societal issues, such as privacy of DNA data, storage of samples and data, and the rights of defendants to quality testing technology. Combining this original volume with the new update-The Evaluation of Forensic DNA Evidence-provides the complete, up-to-date picture of this highly important and visible topic. This volume offers important guidance to anyone working with this emerging law enforcement tool: policymakers, specialists in criminal law, forensic scientists, geneticists, researchers, faculty, and students.

Forensic Science: An Illustrated Dictionary is an expanded version of Brenner's Forrensic Science Glossary (CRC Press. Boca Raton, Fl, 1999) This book is an effort by Brenner to keep pace with the ever-growing terminology of the disciplines that comprise the field of forensic science--a siZable task considering the recent explosion of interest in the field. Forensic Science: An Illustrated Dictionary includes terms from both the emerging and also the more traditional, but certainly expanding, branches of forensic science. It addresses a plethora of areas including, but not limited to, DNA technology, biochemistry, trace evidence, drugs, toxicology, firearms identification, questioned documents, photography, computer forensics, crime scene strictly in the light of forensic science, which is appropriate for a field-specific reference. For example, discipline is defined as "a major area of casework for which a laboratory may seek accreditation".
