About this title

From Booklist:

With an increasing number of school curricula including forensic science as an option, books in the Forensic Evidence series will find a place in the classroom, as well as on library shelves. This volume, about the most familiar examples of trace evidence (hair and fibers), provides readers with well-detailed descriptions of how such fibers are handled at the scene, analyzed in the lab, and used in the courtroom, as well as how the science itself has evolved. As in Brian Innes’ DNA and Body Evidence (2007), Wright puts heavy emphasis on real-life cases, which are scattered throughout the discussion; in addition, several entire chapters are devoted to recent and historic cases, all of which are presented bluntly but without sensationalized particulars. Sidebars and insets enhance the coverage, offering profiles of influential criminalists, career information, and technology; furthermore, excellent, thoughtfully selected, and varied photos add browser interest. Quotes are sourced, and a glossary and list of further resources are appended. Make a place for this on the shelf; interest will be high. Grades 9-12. --Stephanie Zvirin
