Free download Fundamentals of Forensic Science (3rd edition) authored by Max M. Houck and Jay A. Siegel in pdf.
According to the writers of this book, ” We have written the 3rd edition of Fundamentals of Forensic Science because forensic science is once again at a crossroads with much at stake. Ever since commentators such as Saks and Kohler questioned the paradigm of individualization of scientific evidence, the pace of change and challenge has sped up. This was hastened by the landmark 2009 National Academy of Sciences report on forensic science, which acknowledged the strengths but demonstrated many weaknesses of the profession and the science. Since the NAS report came out, little has been accomplished until recently.
The Departments of Justice and Commerce formed a National Commission on Forensic Science to help drive a national agenda on improving forensic science. The Commission, in turn, created an Organization of Scientific Advisory Committees, whose task is to develop consensus standards for the treatment of forensic evidence. Much hope is riding on these efforts to finally push for reform and garner resources to address the shortcomings of forensic science.
Great gains often come with great pains and forensic science is no stranger to either. We have updated this edition to better reflect the changes that have occurred in forensic science since the 2nd edition and to anticipate some of the new trends on the horizon.
Expanded discussion about policy, new methods, and new disciplines, such as digital evidence, demonstrate that forensic science is a dynamic field with great potential for progress and many issues to resolve. We hope you enjoy the 3rd edition of Fundamentals of Forensic Science and it helps you to understand this fascinating and engaging field of science.”
