Forensic Anthropology

Description

"Forensic Anthropology serves as a graduate level text for those studying and teaching forensic anthropology, as well as a reference for forensic anthropologist libraries or for use in casework. Covers taphonomy, recovery and analysis, identification, statistical interpretation, and professional issues. Edited by a leading forensic expert, the Advanced Forensic Science Series grew out of the recommendations from the 2009 NAS Report, Strengthening Forensic Science: A Path Forward, and is a long overdue solution for the forensic science community. Key features: provides the basic principles of forensic science and an overview of forensic anthropology; contains sections on taphonomy, recovery, analysis, pathology, and identification; covers statistical interpretation of evidence using the classical-frequentist approach and Bayesian analysis, measurement uncertainty, and standard methods; includes a section on professional issues, such as: from crime scene to court, expert witness testimony, and health and safety; incorporates effective pedagogy, key terms, review questions, discussion questions, and additional reading suggestions."--Provided by publisher.
