Reviews for Forensic Science: Current Issues, Future Directions

I would recommend this text to anyone wishing to learn more about the many and varied disciplines that make up the forensic sciences and, particularly, the role of AAFS in shaping developments in recent years. ( Journal of Forensic Sciences , 1 July 2013) There is no other book on the market that provides the perspective that these authors do on new and evolving fields in the discipline. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All library collections. ( Choice , 1 August 2013 )
