Reviews

[N]ew technologies will challenge the scientific community to provide reliable, reproducible, and validated forensic protocols, while legal and ethical considerations will determine the extent to which these technologies are employed. This volume provides insight into the latest advances as they evolve into 21st century DNA forensics. -From the Foreword by Leonard Klevan, Ph.D.

"""... an up-to-date treatise on DNA analysis methods for criminal casework. It is a collection of articles by well-established forensic DNA researchers and practitioners. The book provides a reliable resource for forensic science educators, practitioners, and other criminal justice professionals. .. This book serves as an excellent resource for practicing forensic scientists as well as aspiring forensic DNA scientists who have a molecular biology background but need to understand specifi c issues regarding evidence handling, preservation, extraction, and analysis of DNA evidence samples for criminal casework. .. a valuable addition for practicing crime laboratories and a useful teaching tool for forensic biology courses."" —S.
