Soil in Criminal and Environmental Forensics: Proceedings of the Soil Forensics Special, 6th European Academy of Forensic Science Conference, The Hague

This introductory volume to a new series on Soil Forensics gives a kaleidoscopic view of a developing forensic expertise.  Forensic practitioners and academic researchers demonstrate, by their joint contributions, the extent and complexity of soil forensics.  their reports exemplify the broad range of sciences and techniques applied in all stages of forensic soil examinations, from investigations at crime scenes to providing evidence that can be used in court proceedings.  Moreover the necessity is depicted of co-operation as a condition for any work in soil forensics between scientists of different disciplines, but no less between scientists and law enforcers.
