This excellent outcome of a good length of research would satisfy the thrust of readers to a great extent in the field. This is a timely and important book that should be read by scholars and students as well as general readers in understanding the complexity of the discourses in forensic science to extend the application of this technique in the criminal justice systems.\" -- Shyamal Das, Elizabeth State University\u003cbr\u003e\"Dukes-Robinson and Esmail provide invaluable insights into the real world experiences of crime lab workers.
