Blood, Bugs, and Plants explores how three disciplines within biological science relate to forensic science: the identification of blood and other physiological fluids, including DNA typing and interpretation of blood-spatter patterns; entomology (bugs), the study of insects, whose life cycles inform autopsies’ and botany (plants), a field used to analyze plants as evidentiary material. The book illustrates progress made in these areas through research in the forensic laboratory, investigations in the field, and courtroom testimony. Throughout the book, sidebars on notable cases, personnel and a variety of forensic issues are included to reinforce the text.
This volume contains more than 30 black-and-white photographs and line illustrations, a glossary, a detailed list of print and web resources, and an index.
