Taylor & Francis Ltd Handbook of Forensic Photography
Book SynopsisHandbook of Forensic Photography is the most-comprehensive, definitive reference for the use of photography in the capture and presentation of forensic evidence. The intent is to inform the reader about the most complete and up-to-date methods to capture and reproduce images that most accurately represent the evidence.With the rise in importance of forensic science, crime and accident scene documentation has likewise increased in importanceânot the least of which has been forensic photography. The need to use accepted practice and protocols to guarantee the authenticity of images for evidence documentation is paramount for using it in court. And as with any discipline, there is an art to the science of forensic photography.Contributing authors from various backgroundsâeach experts in their fieldâhave provided numerous case examples, best practices, and recommendations for recognizing, recording, and preserving evidence using cameras and the latest digital image technology, including video and other imaging technologies. Chapters present such topics as videography, drone photography, underwater photography, crime scene photography, autopsy photographs, fire documentation, forensic odontology, and more. The book closes with coverage of courtroom displays, presenting imaging evidence and expert witness testimony in the courtroom.Handbook of Forensic Photography is a must-have reference for experienced crime scene photographers, death and crime scene investigators, police, and forensic professionalsâincluding medical examiners, odontologists, engineers, and forensic anthropologistsâwho frequently need to capture investigative photographs in the course of investigations.Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Law Drugs and the Making of Addiction Just Habits
Book SynopsisThis book considers how largely accepted âlegal truthsâ about drugs and addiction are made and sustained through practices of lawyering.Lawyers play a vital and largely underappreciated role in constituting legal certainties about substances and âaddictionâ, including links between alcohol and other drugs, and phenomena such as family violence. Such practices exacerbate, sustain and stabilise âaddictedâ realities, with a range of implications â many of them seemingly unjust â for people who use alcohol and other drugs. This book explores these issues, drawing upon data collected for a major international study on alcohol and other drugs in the law, including interviews with lawyers, magistrates and judges; analyses of case law; and legislation. Focussing on an array of legal practices, including processes of law-making, human rights deliberations, advocacy and negotiation strategies, and the sentencing of offenders, and buttressed by overarching analyses of the ethics and politics of such practices, the book looks at how alcohol and other drug âaddictionâ emerges and is concretised through the everyday work lawyers and decision makers do. Foregrounding âpracticesâ, the book also shows that law is more fragile than we might assume. It concludes by presenting a blueprint for how lawyers can rethink their advocacy practices in light of this fragility and the opportunities it presents for remaking law and the subjects and objects shaped by it.This ground-breaking book will be of interest not only to those studying and working within the field of alcohol and drug addiction but also to lawyers and judges practising in this area and to scholars in a range of disciplines, including law, science and technology studies, sociology, gender studies and cultural studiesTable of ContentsTable of contentsAcknowledgmentsIntroduction: Slowing down.

Taylor & Francis Manual of Forensic Taphonomy
Book SynopsisThe main goals in any forensic skeletal analysis are to answer who is the person represented (individualization), how that person died (trauma/pathology) and when that person died (the postmortem interval or PMI). The analyses necessary to generate the biological profile include the determination of human, nonhuman or nonosseous origin, the minimum number of individuals represented, age at death, sex, stature, ancestry, perimortem trauma, antemortem trauma, osseous pathology, odontology, and taphonomic effectsthe postmortem modifications to a set of remains.The Manual of Forensic Taphonomy, Second Edition covers the fundamental principles of these postmortem changes encountered during case analysis. Taphonomic processes can be highly destructive and subtract information from bones regarding their utility in determining other aspects of the biological profile, but they also can add information regarding the entire postmortem history of the remains and the relative Table of Contents1.
