Since the introduction of DNA testing, forensic science has been in the forefront of the public's imagination, thanks especially to popular television shows like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. But forensic analysis has been practiced for thousands of years. Ancient Chinese detectives studied dead bodies for signs of foul play, and in Victorian England, officials used crime scene photography and criminal profiling to investigate the Jack the Ripper murders. In the intervening decades, forensic science has evolved to use the most cutting-edge, innovative techniques and technologies. In this book, acclaimed author Bridget Heos uses real-life cases to tell the history of modern forensic science, from the first test for arsenic poisoning to fingerprinting, firearm and blood spatter analysis, DNA evidence, and all the important milestones in between. By turns captivating and shocking, Blood, Bullets, and Bones demonstrates the essential role forensic science has played in our criminal justice system"-- "A history of modern forensic science from the first test for arsenic poisoning in the 1700s to criminal profiling, fingerprinting, blood splatter analysis, DNA evidence, and all the milestones in between"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 363.25 He Checked In Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library YA -- Nonfiction 363.25 He Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 363.25 He Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library YA -- Nonfiction 363.25 He Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 363.25 He Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 363.25 He Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 363.25 He Checked In Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library YA -- Nonfiction 363.25 He Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 363.25 He Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 363.25 He Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
