A Hands-On Introduction to Forensic Science, Second Edition, carries on the legacy of its predecessor by adopting a distinctively unique approach to teaching forensic science. Each chapter commences with a brief, fictional narrative that permeates the entire book, serving as a crime fiction narrative that depicts the collaborative efforts of a seasoned homicide detective, a criminalist, and their journey to solve a missing persons case. The book progresses step-by-step, unveiling pieces of information about the crime, followed by a more conventional presentation of scientific principles and concepts related to specific forensic topics. Concluding each chapter are a series of user-friendly, cost-effective, hands-on lab activities that equip students with the skills necessary to analyze the evidence presented in each chapter.
The new edition has been thoroughly revised, with a special emphasis on emerging DNA techniques such as DNA sequencing, DNA phenotyping, and bioinformatics.
Students will actively participate in solving a missing persons case by documenting the crime scene, analyzing physical evidence in the lab, and presenting their findings in a mock trial setting. Within the chapters themselves, students will delve into the technical, forensic concepts presented within the opening stories segments.
The book culminates with the students assuming the roles of the main characters in a trial—attorneys, scientific experts, suspects, judges, bailiffs, and jurors—to present and evaluate the evidence in a mock trial setting. The mock trial will emulate the dynamics of a real courtroom, and the jury will be tasked with deliberating on the evidence presented to determine the guilt or innocence of the suspect.
