STUDIES IN FORENSIC SCIENCE

Forensic Anthropology is the application of physical anthropologist’s specialized knowledge of human sexual, racial, age, stature and individual variation to problems of medical jurisprudence. In other words it is the application of the physical anthropological techniques to the legal process. Identification of the recently dead persons falls under the domain of forensic medicine, while that of the decomposed/mutilated bodies and skeletal remains comes under the canopy of forensic anthropology. Forensic Anthropology has its roots in medical sciences, especially anatomical sciences; methods used in identification of skeletal remains were derived from anatomy school cadavers whose age, sex, stature and morbidity are known. The main function of forensic anthropology is to examine human variability and use it for identification purpose. May it be from finger prints, morphological characteristics like hair or other bodily characters or through handwriting analysis? This volume also includes papers pertaining to ballistics, wherein advanced techniques of comparing the use of fire arms are discussed. Finally this volume presents studies related to analysis of poisonous material and its impact in homicidal cases.
