Scientific Foundations of Crime Scene Reconstruction: Introducing Method to Mayh

Description: Scientific Foundations of Crime Scene Reconstruction by Jon J. Nordby, PH.D. Demonstrates how to explain crime scene events by reproducing them in a controlled environment. This book illustrates the need for experiment, alternative experimental designs, and the execution and interpretation of experimental results. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Philosophers of science have long used reconstructive reasoning to develop historical explanations covering the origins of natural phenomenon. The application of the scientific method is a powerful tool for solving crimes through reconstruction of the events. Scientific Foundations of Crime Scene Reconstruction: Introducing Method to Mayhem demonstrates how to use the scientific method and exercise the critical thinking that is essential for the development of sound data and the construction of reliable explanations. Provides a clear yet rigorous account of the scientific method accessible to non-philosophersSupplies examples showing the application of scientific methods to the reconstruction of events that leave physical evidence at crime scenesPresents self-contained chapters—each with specific points about how a scene reconstruction is built upon the analysis of specific physical evidenceDiscusses the scope and limitations of physical evidence and the resulting analyses that they support in crafting scientific crime scene reconstructionsIncludes case studies of crime scene reconstructions from Dr. Nordbys experience, complete with color photographs and laboratory notes Moving systematically from case to case, this volume is an essential reference for forensic and law enforcement professionals who need to step into new or unfamiliar areas to understand how science can help them do their jobs. It enables forensic scientists to apply the natural sciences to casework in shooting and nonshooting cases. It also educates attorneys who need to understand scientific evidence and the process of crime scene reconstruction from the scientific point of view. Back Cover Taking a unique approach, this book demonstrates how to explain crime scene events by reproducing them in a controlled environment. The book moves systematically from case to case, illustrating the need for experiment, alternative experimental designs, and the execution and interpretation of experimental results. It uses the concepts of critical experiment to assess alternative and competing interpretations of crime scene data. Each chapter explores different avenues for integrating experimental results with analytical results derived from actual crime scenes. The text also demonstrates a final analysis presentation that combines the explanations of applied science with the results of critical experiments.
