Recenzii

"Koen and Bowers have successfully given a voice to the forensic scientist and victims of recognised miscarriages of justice. This book shines a light on the cracks within the collection, analysis, interpretation and presentation of forensic evidence. ...it succeeds in providing excellent motivation and opportunity for others to address the gaps and push for greater reform and quality assurance within forensic sciences" --CSEye
"Although fitting the design of a law school course book, FORENSIC SCIENCE REFORM is just as well suited for the library in a prosecutor’s or defense counsel’s office. It is as useful a guide to the strengths and limitations of common forensic disciplines as any single text available." --Advocacy and Evidence Resources
"There is a revolution in forensic science in this country and this book provides a practical, detailed, and truly fascinating guide to how much has changed in the field. Students, lawyers, and scientists will all find this book eye opening, from its explanations of research to the case studies describing how forensics can go wrong." --Brandon L. Garrett, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, USA
