Summary: Mass spectometry methods for the recovery of forensic intelligence from fingermarks -- Novel technological applications for latent and blood-stained fingermark ageing studies -- Bioanalytical Advancements in the Reliable Visualization and Discrimination of Bodily Fluids -- Investigating the age of blood traces: how close are we to finding the holy grail of forensic science? -- Recent technological developments in MALDI-MSI based hair analysis -- Emerging approaches in the analysis of inks on questioned documents -- Advances in Analysis of Gunshot Residue -- Advances in the analysis of explosives -- The Application of Forensic Soil Science in Case work and Legal ConsiderationsSummary: This book provides a line of communication between academia and end users/practitioners to advance forensic science and boost its contribution to criminal investigations and court cases. By covering the state of the art of promising technologies for the analysis of trace evidence using a controlled vocabulary, this book targets the chemical and the analytical academic community as well as, crucially, informing the end users on novel and potential forensic opportunities for the fight against crime. By reporting end users commentaries at the end of each chapter, the relevant academic community is provided with clear indications on where to direct further technological developments in order to meet the law requirements for operational deployment, as well as the specific needs of the end users. Promising chemistry based technologies and analytical techniques as well as techniques that have already shown to various degrees an operational character are covered. Majority of the techniques covered have imaging capabilities, that is the ability to visualise the distribution of the target molecules within the trace evidence recovered. This feature enhances intelligibility of the information making it also accessible to a lay audience such as that typically found with a court jury. Trace evidence discussed in this book include fingermarks, bodily fluids, hair, gunshot residues, soil, ink and questioned documents thus covering a wide range of possible evidence recovered at crime scenesPPN: PPN: 1678680869Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-CMS | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXC
