Criminalistics for Spanish-English Interpreters is a unique reference tool created by a court interpreter for judicial interpreters and translators. Its focus on forensic terminology meets an important, unmet need by providing an easy-to-use resource for interpreting forensic expert testimony or translating forensic reports and texts. Criminalistics for Spanish-English Interpreters is a necessary and useful addition to the library of any academic institution with a well-known interpretation or language program, or as a supplement to its curricula.
The handbook includes an alphabetical listing in English and Spanish. It also includes subject categories, (e.g. trace, ballistics, fingerprints), which are listed alphabetically in English only, since the principal target audience is the interpreter working in the North American criminal court setting.
