This unique book - written by nationally known scholars in the field - includes five sections that explore the demand for forensic services, the quality of forensic services, the utility of forensic services, post-conviction forensic issues, and the future role of forensic science in the administration of justice. The authors offer policy-relevant directions for both the criminal justice and  forensic fields and demonst rate how the role of the crime laboratory in the American justice system is evolving in concert with technological advances as well as changing demands and competing pressures for laoratory resources. -- taken from the back cover. 0aForensic sciences. 0aJustice, Administration of.10aStrom, Kevin,eeditor.10aHickman, Matthew J.,eeditor.
