Crime Scene Investigation
How Forensic Science Catches Killers and Solves Impossible CasesBy Ethan Blackwell
Length1h 28m
About this audiobook
From the invention of DNA fingerprinting in a small English lab in 1984 to the genetic genealogy that unmasked the Golden State Killer in 2018, this book traces how forensic science learned to read the silent testimony of crime scenes. Across ten chapters, it explores the pioneers and landmark cases behind DNA analysis, fingerprinting, blood spatter interpretation, forensic entomology, toxicology, ballistics, digital forensics, forensic anthropology, and the psychology of eyewitness testimony and false confessions. Each chapter reveals both the triumphs and the failures — the wrongful convictions, the flawed analyses, the human biases that can corrupt even the most powerful scientific tools. It is a story of science chasing justice, always improving, never infallible.
