Quality Management in Forensic Science


Forensic science has been under scrutiny for some time, since the release of the NAS report in 2009. The report cited the need for standardized practices and the accreditation of crime labs. No longer can the forensic community take the position that cross-examination in a courtroom will expose weaknesses in methodology and execution.

Quality Management in Forensic Science covers a wide spectrum of forensic disciplines, relevant ISO and non-ISO standards, accreditation and quality management systems necessary in any forensic science laboratory. Written by a globally well-respected forensic scientist with decades of experience in the forensic science laboratory and on the stand, as an expert witness who is also a Fellow of both the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences. This book will be a must-have resource for all forensic science stakeholders, particularly law enforcement agents and lawyers less familiar with the impact of quality management on the reliability of scientific evidence.

  • A comprehensive, multidisciplinary reference of scientific practices for use in the forensic laboratory
  • Coverage from DNA to toxicology, from trace evidence to crime scene and beyond
  • Extensive review of ISO and non-ISO standards, accreditation, QMS and much more
  • Written by a foremost forensic scientist with decades of experience in the laboratory and as an expert witness
