PI
Magazine Bookstore is
proud to offer investigators Crime Reconstruction,
by W.
Jerry Chisum, Brent Turvey.
Crime Reconstruction is a working guide to the
interpretation of physical evidence, designed for the forensic
generalist and those with multiple forensic specialties. It was
developed to aid these forensic reconstructionists with the formulation
of hypotheses and conclusions that stay within the known limits
of forensic evidence. Crime Reconstruction begins with chapters
on the history and ethics of crime reconstruction, and then shifts
to the more applied subjects of general reconstruction methods
and practice standards. It concludes with chapters on courtroom
conduct and evidence admissibility, to prepare forensic reconstructionists
for what awaits them when they take the witness stand.
Crime Reconstruction is a watershed collaborative effort by
internationally known, qualified and respected forensic science
practitioners with generations of case experience. Forensic pioneers
such as John D. DeHaan, John I. Thornton, and W. Jerry Chisum
contribute chapters on arson reconstruction, trace evidence interpretation,
advanced bloodstain interpretation, and reconstructionist ethics.
Other chapters cover the subjects of shooting incident reconstruction,
interpreting digital evidence, staged crime scenes, and examiner
bias. Rarely have so many forensic giants collaborated, and never
before have the natural limits of physical evidence been made
so clear.
