Forensic Science and the Fight Against Crime

Today, crime dominates the world's headlines. From serial murders to financial fraud, from wartime atrocities to the international drug trade, it threatens the stability of society as never before. Increasingly governments and police forces are turning to science for aid. Traces of Guilt examines how forensic science can help in the fight against crime and asks how effective and how reliable it really is.Author Hugh Miller takes us from the hi-tech world of digital telephone fraud, where scientists struggle to identify the invisible perpetrators of million-dollar robberies an the information highway to the hills of Guatemala, where forensic archaeologists attempt to discover the hidden secrets of a massacre as they exhume 24 mass graves.

Traces of Guilt also takes forensic science to task, raising questions whose implications for criminal Justice systems around the world are profound... where the difference between fact and fiction can mean the difference between life and death.
