商品描述
For introductory courses in Forensic Science and Crime Scene Investigation
A clear introduction to the technology of the modern crime laboratory for non-scientists
Criminalistics: An Introduction to Forensic Science, Twelfth Edition, uses clear writing, case stories, and modern technology to capture the pulse and fervor of forensic science investigations. Written for readers with no scientific background, only the most relevant scientific and technological concepts are presented. The nature of physical evidence is defined, and the limitations that technology and current knowledge impose on its individualization and characterization are examined. A major portion of the text centers on discussions of the common items of physical evidence encountered at crime scenes. Particular attention is paid to the meaning and role of probability in interpreting the evidential significance of scientifically evaluated evidence. Updated throughout, the Twelfth Edition includes a new chapter on the exciting field of forensic biometrics. With its easy-to-understand writing and straightforward presentation, this best-selling text is clear and comprehensible to a wide variety of students.

作者簡介
Richard Saferstein, Ph.D., retired after serving 21 years as the chief forensic scientist of the New Jersey State Police Laboratory, one of the largest crime laboratories in the United States. He currently acts as a consultant for attorneys and the media in the area of forensic science. During the O. J. Simpson criminal trial, Dr. Saferstein provided extensive commentary on forensic aspects of the case for the Rivera Live show, the E! television network, ABC radio, and various radio talk shows. Dr. Saferstein holds degrees from the City College of New York and earned his doctorate degree in chemistry in 1970 from the City University of New York. From 1972 to 1991, he taught an introductory forensic science course in the criminal justice programs at the College of New Jersey and Ocean County College. These teaching experiences played an influential role in Dr. Saferstein's authorship in 1977 of the widely used introductory textbook Criminalistics: An Introduction to Forensic Science, currently in this twelfth edition. Saferstein's basic philosophy in writing Criminalistics is to make forensic science understandable and meaningful to the nonscience reader, while giving the reader an appreciation for the scientific principles that underlie the subject.
Dr. Saferstein has authored or co-authored more than 45 technical papers and chapters covering a variety of forensic topics. Dr. Saferstein has co-authored Lab Manual for Criminalistics (Pearson, 2015) to be used in conjunction with this text. He is also the author of Forensic Science: An Introduction (Pearson, 2008 and 2011) and Forensic Science: From the Crime Scene to the Crime Lab (2009 and 2015). He has also edited the widely used professional reference books Forensic Science Handbook, Volumes I, II, and III, 2nd edition (published in 2002, 2005, and 2010, respectively, by Pearson).
Dr. Saferstein is a member of the American Chemical Society, the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, the Canadian Society of Forensic Scientists, the International Association for Identification, the Northeastern Association of Forensic Scientists, and the Society of Forensic Toxicologists. He is the recipient of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences 2006 Paul L. Kirk Award for distinguished service and contributions to the field of criminalistics.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
理查德·薩弗斯坦（Richard Saferstein），博士，在新澤西州警察實驗室擔任首席法醫科學家21年後退休，該實驗室是美國最大的犯罪實驗室之一。他目前擔任律師和媒體的法醫科學顧問。在O. J. 辛普森（O. J. Simpson）刑事審判期間，薩弗斯坦博士為Rivera Live節目、E!電視網、ABC廣播及各種廣播脫口秀提供了有關案件法醫方面的廣泛評論。薩弗斯坦博士畢業於紐約市立學院，並於1970年在紐約市立大學獲得化學博士學位。從1972年到1991年，他在新澤西學院和海洋縣學院的刑事司法課程中教授法醫科學入門課程。這些教學經驗對薩弗斯坦博士於1977年撰寫的廣泛使用的入門教科書《刑事科學：法醫科學入門》（Criminalistics: An Introduction to Forensic Science）產生了重要影響，目前已進入第十二版。薩弗斯坦在撰寫《刑事科學》時的基本理念是使法醫科學對非科學讀者易於理解且有意義，同時讓讀者欣賞該主題背後的科學原則。
薩弗斯坦博士已撰寫或共同撰寫超過45篇技術論文和章節，涵蓋各種法醫主題。薩弗斯坦博士共同撰寫了《刑事科學實驗手冊》（Lab Manual for Criminalistics）（Pearson, 2015），以便與本書搭配使用。他還是《法醫科學：入門》（Forensic Science: An Introduction）（Pearson, 2008和2011）及《法醫科學：從犯罪現場到犯罪實驗室》（Forensic Science: From the Crime Scene to the Crime Lab）（2009和2015）的作者。他還編輯了廣泛使用的專業參考書《法醫科學手冊，第一、二、三卷》（Forensic Science Handbook, Volumes I, II, and III），第二版（分別於2002年、2005年和2010年由Pearson出版）。
薩弗斯坦博士是美國化學學會、美國法醫科學學院、加拿大法醫科學家協會、國際識別協會、東北法醫科學家協會及法醫毒理學會的成員。他是美國法醫科學學院2006年保羅·L·柯克獎（Paul L. Kirk Award）的獲得者，以表彰他在刑事科學領域的卓越服務和貢獻。
