This question demands our attention because our understanding of present-day forensic science is vastly enriched through gaining an appreciation of what went before. \u003ci\u003eA History of Forensic Science\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to consider the wide spectrum of influences which went into creating the discipline in Britain in the first part of the twentieth century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book offers a history of the development of forensic sciences, centred on the UK, but with consideration of continental and colonial influences, from around 1880 to approximately 1940. This period was central to the formation of a separate discipline of forensic science with a distinct professional identity and this book charts the strategies of the new forensic scientists to gain an authoritative voice in the courtroom and to forge a professional identity in the space between forensic medicine, scientific policing, and independent expert witnessing. In so doing, it improves our understanding of how forensic science developed as it did. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is essential reading for academics and students engaged in the study of criminology, the history of forensic science, science and technology studies and the history of policing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alison Adam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138304794\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138304796\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.53d","brand":"Alison Adam","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48087721410815,"sku":"9781138304796","price":66.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7c254ad1-f72e-4b27-a781-6922f25907ac.jpg?v=1769101028","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-history-of-forensic-science-alison-adam-9781138304796","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
