The Oxford Handbook of Criminal Process
The Oxford Handbook of Criminal Process surveys the topics and issues in the field of criminal process, including the laws, institutions, and practices of the criminal justice administration. The process begins with arrests or with crime investigation such as searches for evidence. It continues through trial or some alternative form of adjudication such as plea bargaining that may lead to conviction and punishment, and it includes post-conviction events such as appeals and various procedures for addressing miscarriages of justice. Across more than 40 chapters, this Handbook provides a descriptive overview of the subject sufficient to serve as a durable reference source, and more importantly to offer contemporary critical or analytical perspectives on those subjects by leading scholars in the field. Topics covered include history, procedure, investigation, prosecution, evidence, adjudication, and appeal.

The papers are organized in topical sections on face recognition, fingerprint recognition, template protection and security, other biometrics, and fusion and multimodal bioinformatics.
Strafverfolgung - Individuum - Öffentlichkeit im Spannungsfeld der Wahrnehmungen
Le bon fonctionnement du système pénal implique des interactions entre ses acteurs. Du juge au condamné, en passant par les experts et autres témoins ou lésés, la perception qu'ont les uns des autres et les attentes qu'ont les uns par rapport aux autres influencent largement la qualité de ces interactions. De manière plus large encore, la perception qu'a le public du système pénal influence le degré de confiance dont le second jouit aux yeux du premier. Cet ouvrage collectif rassemble les Actes du colloque 2017 du Groupe suisse de criminologie qui portait sur le thème "Justice pénale – Individus – Opinion publique, Diversité des perceptions".
Statistics and the Evaluation of Evidence for Forensic Scientists
The first edition of Statistics and the Evaluation of Evidence for Forensic Scientists established itself as a highly regarded authority on this area. Fully revised and updated, the second edition provides significant new material on areas of current interest including: Glass Interpretation Fibres Interpretation Bayes’ Nets The title presents comprehensive coverage of the statistical evaluation of forensic evidence. It is written with the assumption of a modest mathematical background and is illustrated throughout with up-to-date examples from a forensic science background. The clarity of exposition makes this book ideal for all forensic scientists, lawyers and other professionals in related fields interested in the quantitative assessment and evaluation of evidence. 'There can be no doubt that the appreciation of some evidence in a court of law has been greatly enhanced by the sound use of statistical ideas and one can be confident that the next decade will see further developments, during which time this book will admirably serve those who have cause to use statistics in forensic science.'

Fingerprints and Other Ridge Skin Impressions
Since its publication, the first edition of Fingerprints and Other Ridge Skin Impressions has become a classic in the field. This second edition is completely updated, focusing on the latest technology and techniques—including current detection procedures, applicable processing and analysis methods—all while incorporating the expansive growth of literature on the topic since the publication of the original edition. Forensic science has been challenged in recent years as a result of errors, courts and other scientists contesting verdicts, and changes of a fundamental nature related to previous claims of infallibility and absolute individualization. As such, these factors represent a funda...
Until Proven Innocent
What began that night shocked Duke Universityand Durham, North Carolina. And it continues to captivate the nation: the Duke lacrosse team members‘ alleged rape of an African-American stripper and the unraveling of the case against them. In this ever-deepening American tragedy, Stuart Taylor Jr. and KC Johnson argue, law enforcement, a campaigning prosecutor, biased journalists, and left-leaning academics repeatedly refused to pursue the truth while scapegoats were made of these young men, recklessly tarnishing their lives. The story harbors multiple dramas, including the actions of a DA running for office; the inappropriate charges that should have been apparent to academics at Duke many m...
Police scientifique
Le rôle de la police scientifique est d’abord d’exploiter les traces laissées lors d’activités criminelles. Elle est aujourd’hui équipée de technologies de traçabilité si puissantes, que celles-ci ont en peu de temps démultiplié la quantité de données mises à disposition de l’enquête judiciaire et du renseignement criminel. Or, cette évolution rapide a paradoxalement eu pour conséquence une remise en question du rôle, du statut et de l’action de la police scientifique: qu’attend-on aujourd’hui de ces services? Que sont-ils supposés conclure à partir de données devenues aussi considérables que spécialisées et fragmentées? C’est en faveur du caractère ...

Quantitative-Qualitative Friction Ridge Analysis
A thumb print left at the scene of a grisly murder. Fingerprints taken from a getaway car used in a bank robbery. A palm print recovered from the shattered glass door of a burglarized home. Indeed, where crimes are committed, careless perpetrators will invariably leave behind the critical pieces of evidence most likely in the form of fingerprints n
