within the field of law enforcement, and other criminal justice
personnel need to understand forensic terms when communicating
with forensic scientists or interpreting forensic lab results.
• Provides Glossary definitions for more than
2000 forensic words and terms
• Provides a single-source reference incorporating words from
all forensic disciplines
• Prepares forensic scientists for the General Knowledge Examination
(GKE) and the Specialty Examinations (SEs) given by the American

Forensic Science-An Illustrated Dictionary introduces commonly-used
forensic terms, many of which are crucial to the interpretation
and understanding of laboratory report findings.
The field of forensics grew considerably since the publication
of the previous version of this book, the Forensic Science Glossary.
With the introduction of new procedures and methods of analysis,
many new terms have emerged. This volume adds many of the new
terms used in criminal court cases, forensic entomology, forensic
psychiatry, crime scene reconstruction, and other forensic disciplines.
The definitions and accompanying illustrations come from various
domains including toxicology, drug chemistry, criminalistics,
bioscience/DNA, firearms/ballistics, forensic pathology, and
the legal system. The illustrations communicate the use of laboratory
instruments, investigative techniques, and laboratory methods
of analysis.
These detailed definitions and illustrations are valuable references
to students and nonscientific professionals including police
investigators interpreting lab reports, court reporters, prosecutors
and defense attorneys preparing for trial.
About the Author:
John C. Brenner earned a B.S. in Health Care Administration from
the University of Southern Illinois while serving full time
in the U.S. Navy. Upon completion of his naval career he received
an MS in Forensic Science from the University of New Haven.
He is a member of the Northeastern Association of Forensic
Scientists (NEAFS). Mr. Brenner has spent 20 years as a forensic
scientist with the New York State Police, and is trained in
toxicology, serology, and DNA analysis. While providing testimony
for more than 160 criminal court cases including homicides,
rapes, blood assaults, burglaries, and DWIs, the author developed
the idea for the first book, Forensic Science Glossary.
Creating Forensic Science - An Illustrated Dictionary is one
way of giving something back to the forensic community for
the knowledge and experience he has gained working in the
field of forensics.
