Book The Routledge International Handbook of Homicide Investigation

Download or read book The Routledge International Handbook of Homicide Investigation written by Cheryl Allsop and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge International Handbook of Homicide Investigation will be the first of its kind to bring together research and personal insights from detectives, practitioners, academics and experts internationally on various complexities that are involved in the investigation of homicides. The handbook discusses the challenges faced by homicide detectives, especially since not every investigation will demand the same approach. The tools, techniques and expertise required also vary according to the type of homicide that is investigated. This handbook brings these issues and opportunities to the forefront while also illustrating the wider complexities and emotional impact of homicide investigations on detectives and those bereaved by homicide. The book is divided into four parts. Part I provides chapters that explore homicide investigation across the globe. Parts II and III offer an up-to-date insight into the ever-evolving tools and techniques that are used during a homicide investigation and explore how specific types of homicides are investigated. Part IV considers both those directly affected by the homicide and the role of indirect victims in the investigation, including the impact of homicide and its investigation. Chapters also consider some recent developments in homicide investigation that may shape its future as well as current issues that are facing homicide detectives. Providing cutting-edge research on every step of the criminal homicide investigation process, this handbook is essential reading for scholars, students and practitioners interested in homicide investigation.

Download or read book Forensic science Northern Ireland written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Northern Ireland Affairs Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010-03-05 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forensic Science Northern Ireland (FSNI) is the only forensic science laboratory in Northern Ireland and provides professional, independent and objective scientific expertise in support of justice. In its 220 staff it has one of the widest ranges of accredited forensic science expertise in Europe. Inspections by Criminal Justice Inspection Northern Ireland (CJINI) in 2005, 2007, and 2009, identified key areas in which FSNI needed to improve if it were to continue to survive in a changing marketplace. This report examines: staffing; accommodation; relations with the Police Service of Northern Ireland; understanding of forensic science capabilities within the justice system; devolution of policing and justice; cross-border co-operation; FSNI's independent status. The Committee calls for a more flexible recruitment process, praises the performance of FSNI in its inadequate premises, commends its co-operation with its counterpart in the Republic of Ireland and supports the continuation of its independent status.

Book Forensic Criminology

Download or read book Forensic Criminology written by Andy Williams and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-02 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text provides an examination of the aetiological development of forensic criminology in the UK. It links the subjects of scientific criminology, criminal investigations, crime scene investigation, forensic science and the legal system and it provides an introduction to the important processes that take place between the crime scene and the courtroom. These processes help identify, define and label the ‘criminal’ and are crucial for understanding any form of crime within society. The book includes sections on: • the epistemological and ontological philosophies of the natural sciences; • the birth of scientific criminology and its search for the criminal ‘body’; • the development of early forms of forensic science and crime scene investigation; • investigating crime; • information, material and evidence; • crime analysis and crime mapping; • scientific support and crime scene examination; and • forensic science and detection methods and forensics in the courtroom. The text combines coverage of historical research and contemporary criminal justice processes and provides an introduction to the most common forensic practices, procedures and uses that enable the identification and successful prosecution of criminals. Forensic Criminology is essential for students of criminology, criminal justice, criminal investigations and crime science. It is also useful to those criminal justice practitioners wishing to gain a more in-depth understanding of the links between criminology, criminal investigations and forensics techniques.

Book The Forensic Science Service

    Book Details:
  • Author : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Science and Technology Committee
  • Publisher : The Stationery Office
  • Release : 2011-07
  • ISBN : 9780215560322
  • Pages : 208 pages

Download or read book The Forensic Science Service written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Science and Technology Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011-07 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Science and Technology Committee is not confident that an orderly transition can be achieved by the extremely challenging deadline for closure of the Forensic Science Service of March 2012. Extending the deadline by at least six months would allow the government to consult on and determine a wider strategy for forensic science. In making its decision to close the FSS, the government failed to give enough consideration to the impact on forensic science research and development, the capacity of private providers to absorb the FSS's 60% market share and the wider implications for the criminal justice system. These considerations appear to have been hastily overlooked in favour of the financial bottom line. The report also draws attention to the historical inadequacies in government decision-making that brought the FSS to its current financial situation. The FSS's dire financial position appears to have arisen from a complex combination of factors, principally the shrinking forensics market, driven by increasing police in-sourcing of forensic science services, and a forensic procurement framework that has driven down prices and does not adequately recognise the value of complex forensic services. In the transition to closure, transferring work from the FSS to a non-accredited police or private laboratory would be highly undesirable, posing significant and unacceptable risks to criminal justice. Proposals should be brought forward immediately to provide the Forensic Science Regulator with statutory powers to enforce compliance with quality standards.

  • ISBN : 9780101888622
  • Pages : 28 pages

Download or read book Forensic Science Strategy written by Great Britain: Home Office and published by . This book was released on 2016-03-29 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demand for digital forensics has grown in parallel with the increased use of digital devices over the past 20 years. At the same time, there has been a decline in the demand for traditional forensic science such as DNA and fingerprints. Forensic science can make a significant contribution to improving policing outcomes and efficiency, but will only be able to meet this challenge through a whole system approach, from the crime scene to the court. By the end of this Parliament, policing will design and deliver a national approach to Forensic Science delivery, supported by the Home Office, which reinforces the legitimacy and capability of forensic science through: a) consistent quality management and standardisation across police forces; b) enhanced governance for the forensics system, including a wider role for the NDNAD Ethics Group; c) a review by police forces of the case for moving current fragmented provision into a Joint Forensic and Biometric Service; d) ongoing oversight of the health of the supply chain, including contingency plans developed by police forces to cope with disruption to the market; e) working closely with research councils and other public research organisations to identify new cost effective opportunities and influences for forensic science; f) working with the College of Policing to understand the capabilities required within the forensic science workforce; and g) nurturing a stronger partnership with industry and education to ensure that learning programmes are future proofed and aligned to the business requirements
