CRITICAL FORENSIC STUDIES (PB 2022) Paperback

Critical Forensic Studies presents an in-depth exploration of the emerging interdisciplinary field that examines forensic science through a critical social science lens. It not only reviews current research and scholarship but also outlines a framework for future inquiry in this evolving area. While forensic science continues to captivate the public—reflected in the popularity of crime dramas, novels, and true-crime media—it has also faced increasing scrutiny from scholars and professionals regarding its role within the justice system. In response, the global forensic science community has begun to critically assess its methodologies and alignment with justice-oriented goals. This book moves beyond viewing forensic science merely as a collection of technical disciplines serving the courtroom. Instead, it highlights the broader social, legal, and cultural implications of forensic practices
