Summary:

Addressing itself to all the significant problems and issues of individual identification, this book provides an overview of the types of physical evidence that may be applied to the identification of suspects or of the unknown remains of crime or disaster victims. The text is not intended as a detailed training manual. It is a basic survey of the principles upon which various methods of identification are predicated. Such a perspective makes this book valuable to everyone involved in criminal justice as well as to attorneys, government officials, and interested members of the general public.
