The Handbook of Bloodstain Pattern Analysis captures the latest understanding of the science that supports bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) and includes the results of numerous research studies using modern technologies not found in previously published books. It provides the BPA community with a modern, up-to-date reference and training manual to outline and validate the utility, repeatability, and reliability of BPA science. BPA has recently been presented in the news media as an example of “junk” science used in a handful of cases involving wrongful convictions. However, the reality is that the primary issue for BPA in these wrongful convictions is not the science: it is the result o...
L'avènement puis l'omniprésence des technologies de l'information et de la communication dans la vie de tous les jours depuis la fin du XXe siècle ont engendré de nouvelles possibilités de commettre des infractions pénales. Cet ouvrage a pour ambition de discuter de la criminalité sur Internet dans une perspective interdisciplinaire, criminologique, juridique et forensique. Il a été rédigé dans le prolongement du Colloque CEDIDAC de droit pénal du 1er septembre 2023. Les sept contributions réunies dans ce volume, rédigées par des auteurs issus tant du monde académique que de la pratique, discutent ainsi du passage à l'acte criminel et de la victimisation à l'ère numérique, des lacunes du droit pénal matériel dans ce domaine, des difficultés juridiques et pratiques dans la récolte et l'exploitation des preuves, et, finalement, des possibilités de prévention.

Using case studies, some of a high-profile nature, the contributors to this expert guide show how trace evidence, when handled correctly, can change the course of a criminal investigation and often affect the final outcome.
Soils have important roles to play in criminal and environmental forensic science. Since the initial concept of using soil in forensic investigations was mooted by Conan Doyle in his Sherlock Holmes stories prior to real-world applications, this branch of forensic science has become increasingly sophisticated and broad. New techniques in chemical, physical, biological, ecological and spatial analysis, coupled with informatics, are being applied to reducing areas of search by investigators, site identification, site comparison and measurement for the eventual use as evidence in court. Soils can provide intelligence, in assisting the determination of the provenance of samples from artifacts, v...

"Now in its 14th edition, Documentary Evidence is a comprehensive guide to the legal obligations of disclosure. Logically presented and lucidly written, it provides detailed analysis and sensible practical advice. Following a chronological structure, it shows when and how a practitioner should take action in relation to the obligation to disclose. It is a standard work that is often cited in court judgments. Under the Civil Procedure Rules the parties to an action are encouraged to adopt a "cards-on-the-table" approach toward the exchange of information, not just once litigation has commenced but before as well. It is likely in the early stages that a few documents will be identified as being relevant or key to the matter at hand. These will be used to provide advice as to the merit or not of proceeding with the dispute. If the decision is taken to proceed, the law imposes a requirement to make full and proper disclosure, which is the process whereby the parties to an action disclose to each other all documents in their possession, custody or power relating to matters in question in the action. This title deals with the nature and scope of the obligation to disclose."
