This new book by Professor Stephen Morewitz discusses how forensic social scientists are providing evidence in the courtroom through expert testimony, how forensic evidence is being used in criminal cases, and how these practices are changing the law. The book also shows how the richness in the social sciences, for example, drawing from fields as diverse as psychology, sociology, and anthropology, contributes in important ways to the growing field of forensic science. The book discusses forensic environmental studies, forensic archaeology, and forensic anthropology.
