The Premier Text on Shooting Incident Reconstruction
By
Lucien Haag, Former Criminalist and Technical Director, Phoenix Crime
Laboratory, President, Forensic Science Services, Inc., Carefree, AZ, USA
Description
Forensic scientists, law enforcement, and crime scene investigators are often
tasked with reconstruction of events based on crime scene evidence, and the subsequent
analysis of that evidence. The use and misuse of firearms to perpetrate
crimes from theft to murder necessitates numerous invitations to reconstruct
shooting incidents. The discharge of firearms and the behavior of projectiles
create many forms of physical evidence that, through proper testing and
interpretation by a skilled forensic scientist, can establish what did and
what did not occur. This book is generated from the authors numerous years of
conducting courses and seminars on the subject of shooting incident
reconstruction. It seeks to thoroughly address matters from simple to complex
in providing the reader an explanation of the factors surrounding ballistics,
trajectory, and shooting scenes. The ultimate objectives of this unique book
are to assist investigators, crime scene analysts, pathologists, ballistics
experts, and lawyers to understand the terminology, science, and factors
involved in reconstructing shooting incident events to solve forensic cases.
The book will cover the full range of related topics including the range from
which a firearm was discharged, the sequence of shots in a multiple discharge
shooting incident, the position of a firearm at the moment of discharge, the
position of a victim at the moment of impact, the probable flight path of a
projectile, the manner by which a firearm was discharged and much more.
Audience
The audience would include practicing forensic scientists, firearm and
tool mark examiners, ballistics experts, crime scene personnel, police
departments, forensic consultants, attorneys and judges, Medical Examiners
(coroners), and forensic pathologists.
