Experts in the field of bitemark evidence confront complexities ranging from the identification and collection of evidence, to microscopic analysis, to legal implications and courtroom admissibility. Now in its second edition, Bitemark Evidence reflects the knowledge, training, experience, opinions, and research of 27 authors from around the world to present an atlas with coverage from a range of disciplines. This comprehensive text details the protocols for photography, collection, preservation, and analysis of bitemarks and examines everything from the history of bitemark evidence, to diagnostic considerations, to expert witnesses and testimony.New in the Second Edition:A historical perspective, beginning with the earliest known bitemark references from the Bible and the Kama Sutra, up to the modern development of forensic organizations around the worldUpdated chapter on digital photographyPractical tips on forensic bitemark photographyProcessing and analysis of digital images for evidentiary purposesThe rationale, use, materials, and methods employed for confocal laser microscopy (CLM) and the scanning electron microscope (SEM)Current issues in bitemark analysis and research, emerging technologies, and recent developmentsCompletely revamped section on research with hundreds of accompanying color photographsExperimental bitemarks and histology, with data on the microscopic examination of bitemarks on fresh and frozen piglet skin and the microscopic examination of human bitemarksUpdated information on genotypic comparison of oral bacteria isolated from bitemarks and teethProper steps in forming a contract with an expert witnessErroneous bitemark opinions and wrongful convictions overturned by DNA evidenceCapturing the contemporary scientific understanding in the field and enhanced with more than 1,300 color photos, this atlas is the definitive guide to one of the most fascinating evidentiary domains in the forensic world.

Recenzijas

"I salute Dr. Dorion and the many top-flight individuals involved in this effort for bringing together an awesome amount of information on an important subject in an organized fashion. The text Bitemark Evidence remains unchallenged in its field." -Gerald L. Vale, DDS, MDS, MPH, JD, D-ABFO, Past President, American Board of Forensic Odontology; Distinguished Fellow, American Academy of Forensic Sciences " ... a necessary guide for anyone involved with this field including odontologists, police investigators, lawyers, and medical examiners. The expanded second edition of Bitemark Evidence is the essential reference for bitemark analysis and comparison." -Dr. Dirk van der Meer, B.Sc., D.M.D., Armstrong, British Columbia, in Canadian Society of Forensic Science Journal
