Forensic Criminology

Description: Forensic Criminology [Hardcover] Wayne Petherick; Brent Turvey and Claire Ferguson Product Overview Forensic Criminology gives students of criminology and criminal justice an introduction to the forensic realm and the applied forensic issues they will face when working cases within the justice system. It effectively bridges the theoretical world of social criminology with the applied world of the criminal justice system.While most of the competing textbooks on criminology adequately address the application and the social theory to the criminal justice system, the vast majority do not include casework or real-world issues that criminologists face. This book focuses on navigating casework in forensic contexts by case-working criminologists, rather than broad social theory. It also allows criminology/criminal justice instructors outside of the forensic sciences the ability to develop and instruct a core course that might otherwise be considered beyond their expertise, or in conflict with forensic courses taught in chemistry, biology, or medical programs at their institutions because of its focus on criminology and criminal justice careers.With its practical approach, this textbook is well-suited for forensic criminology subjects being taught and developed in law, criminology, and criminal justice programs around the world.Approaches the study of criminology from an applied standpoint, moving away from the purely theoreticalContains relevant and contemporary case examples to demonstrate the application of forensic criminologyProvides an integrated philosophy with respect to criminology, forensic casework, criminal investigations, and the lawUseful for students and professionals in the area of criminology, criminal justice, criminal investigation, forensic science, and the law Read more Details Publisher ‏ : ‎ Academic Press; First Edition (August 31, 2009) Language ‏ : ‎ English Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 624 pages ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 0123750717 ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 16 Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 2.62 pounds Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 7.5 x 1.25 x 9.5 inches Best Sellers Rank: #3,101,517 in Books (See Top 100 in Books) #799 in Medical Forensic Psychology #946 in Popular Forensic Psychology #1,335 in Forensic Science Law #799 in Medical Forensic Psychology We have been selling used books since 2012, and we've learned that the most important thing is doing good business.
